What I've Been Up To: iPhone Photos

I've been one busy girl lately, and have enjoyed going & doing lots of things since quitting my full-time job in February. I'm now doing some contract/consulting work and preparing our house for the arrival of the bambino, which has been ideal. I'm really close to being done with the nursery, and I cannot wait to share the pictures of it! In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few pictures from my phone of what I've been up to.

First things first, I want to congratulate my sweet friend Kellie on becoming a mommy at the beginning of February! You might remember Kellie and I met through blogging as we were starting the adoption journey about the same time, and then found out we lived like 45 minutes from each other...so fun. :) We became great friends and I was so sad that they recently moved away for her husband's job. Luckily I got to love on her sweet son some before they left. :)Last week I was busy busy busy because I had a special guest with me for the week...my adorable niece Ellie. We had SO much fun together and now my house is quiet and I'm sad she had to go back to Dallas. :( Here is a picture of her ready to head out to lunch one day...I was wearing a scarf, so she wanted to also. :)

And this is what was waiting on me when I got home last night. My sweet husband surprised me with a Flip video camera and some yummy jelly beans! We've been talking about getting one before E's arrival, but hadn't fully made a decision yet on what kind & when we'd get it. I am so excited to have it and have read & heard great feedback on it. Anybody else have one?
Oh, one last picture to leave you with. Yesterday I wanted to make a quick run into Michael's to get supplies for a project I am working on. Well the parking lot was insane and I couldn't figure out what was going on...until I spotted this. Books-a-Million is next door to Michael's, and apparently "The Dog" and his wife were there for a book signing. Total chaos, I tell you. People were rushing just to get pictures with the bus! Too bad I had a meeting to get to or I surely could've wasted the day away with all the people watching.
Well that's all for now. Be sure to stop by the beginning of next week...I'm finally getting around to starting an Etsy shop, and will have a giveaway to celebrate the occasion!
