A tiny rant.

Do you ever google yourself?

I find it interesting how information and photos make it’s way around the internet.  Almost two years ago I planned one of my best friend’s bridal showers.  I was quite proud of it and had so much fun designing and making the decor for it.  Every now and then when I [...]

The Skinny on Digital Photobooks

If you are like me, most of your photographs are on your computer and you never actually make prints from them. I try to organize my pictures into albums on my iPhoto, but looking at them on the computer is never quite the same as seeing them artistically laid out in a real album [...]
