Day 97: Scentsy makes perfect scents!

On April 8, 2011April 8, 2011 By LindyIn photography

This week I hosted a Scentsy party at work as a Relay For Life fundraiser, with 20% of the sales going to cancer. Scentsy products are scented wax warmers (a safer alternative to candles). And do they smell fantastic! These little circles are testers – only a handful of the 88 scents available. And here’s my plug – if you’d like to support the American Cancer Society and place an order, just go here and click on Relay For Life fundraiser on the left. Thank you!

Day 96: “Trainquil” morning

On April 7, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Sometimes your plans don’t always turn out how you’d hoped. I got up early with the intent of driving downtown for a nighttime skyline photo. I guess 5:45 a.m. wasn’t early enough with the days getting longer, because the sun was already rising when I arrived. My skyline photos were gray and dull. But when I looked in the other direction, I saw this beautiful, tranquil morning scene.

Day 95: Why I Vote

Have you ever seen the movie Iron Jawed Angels? It’s a documentary about the women’s suffrage movement, and the risks these women took to fight for our right to vote. They sacrificed their health, marriages, freedom, and lives for us. After seeing that movie, I never want to take that right for granted. So I did my research and got up extra early to cast my ballot yesterday morning.

Day 94: Looks can be deceiving

Two days ago I posted a photo of some pretty pink buds on a tree. Within 24 hours, those buds turned into this! Even though it looks like a beautiful spring day, it was really only 40 degrees outside yesterday.

Day 93: Radiant in Red

Yesterday was a first for me – I shot body paint portraits. I don’t want to reveal her identity and ruin the surprise, so here’s just one sneak peek.

Day 92: Pretty in Pink

Yesterday was such a great spring day! We went for a long walk and noticed lots of budding flowers on the trees. Today many of those buds blossomed – a sure sign that my favorite season has finally arrived!

Day 91: Another “egg-citing” day

On April 2, 2011April 2, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I think this photo tells how much fun we had at our spring party at work on Friday. We had an egg relay, egg dying, and an egg hunt. The winners of the egg relay walked away with a package of Peeps, but the best prize was a half-day off work in the egg hunt, which was never found!

Day 90: Dying of “egg-citement”

On April 1, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I spent about 3 hours last night boiling 54 eggs for our spring party at work. Then I had to test the dye to make sure our egg dying would be a success. It looks like it will be!
