Fun with Pictures

Yesterday I was reading Megans blog and she was talking about IPhone apps. She listed a few photography apps, so I decided to try them out. I downloaded Polarize and ShakeIt. I already had IpicEd on my phone. I spent post of the day playing around with my pictures. I think I will download Hipstamatic next. Its so fun to be able to edit pictures right there on your phone. Here is what I came up with yesterday. :)

These were all using Polarize which I love because you can add a caption to the picture. So fun :)

Using IPicEd

This picture is just plain scary!!

Using ShakeIt App. I love how this app makes the pictures look old.

Are there any other fun photography apps that you love? Send them my way. I had too much fun with my phone yesterday and now I need to be taking more pictures with my phone. TGIF!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Anybody have any fun plans for the weekend. I am headed down to Baytown for a girls night with some of girlfriends and to have a Stella and Dot Party. Don't forget you can always order off my website. www.stelladot.com/karah

Birthday Celebration

This past weekend was the hubs' birthday and we had a wonderful weekend of birthday celebrations. I was on call Saturday and Sunday and spent all day Saturday at the hospital. My poor hubby had to spend his birthday alone at home. I felt terrible about it but we were able to celebrate with friends on Friday night. We went to our favorite place Hole In One with a few of our friends from church and other friends. We had a fun night. We enjoyed good food, wine and dessert. Todd and I split the bread pudding and it was so delicious. They have the best bread pudding. Then all the girls got Cosmos thanks to Ellen who had a card in her wallet with her favorite recipe. “Sex and the City much” haha. It was such a fun night and just what we needed to kick off the weekend.

Our whole group 

Julie, Mark and Callie   

Me and Ellen. She planned the get together. Todd is like her 2nd son. Love this lady. :)

 

Saturday night Todd requested that his Mom make steaks for dinner for his family birthday celebration. We had steaks, potatoes, salad and pound cake for dessert. Todd is not a big cake person but he LOVES pound cake. It is his favorite and I believe my mother in law has perfected her pound cake. It was the best one yet. It was so yummy. We enjoyed celebrating with our family that night. Anna was so excited to get to give Uncle Todd and his presents and he let her blow out his candles. :) I didn’t have my camera on me so I didn’t get any pictures. I am so mad at myself for not taking any pictures. It was a fun family night. Todd had a wonderful birthday weekend and I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband. I am truly blessed! I could not have asked for a better husband and I am so glad we were able to celebrate another birthday together.

Cheers to many more birthdays :)  :) :)

A little bit of this and that

WOW! Life has been somewhat hectic lately. It seems as though the weeks are just flying by. I can’t believe it is already October and will be Christmas before we know it. I was finally able to get out some of my fall decor this past week. It all looks so cute but I haven’t finished yet. I still need to decorate my dining room table. My new favorite thing is my monogrammed pumpkin of course that I posted about earlier. I am loving this fall weather. It has been getting down into the 40s and night and it is wonderful. I just want to stay outside all day. AHHH I love fall weather. It makes me one happy girl. :)  So what I have been up to lately. Hmmm lets see…… 

I spent a weekend in Houston, bridesmaid shopping for my brothers upcoming wedding and then went to dinner with an old friend. Oh I also enjoyed the Houston Wine Festival with my future SIL and her friend. We had a blast. There were wines there from all over and lots of cute gifts too.  It was so much fun getting to catch up with  my old friend since I had not seen her in about 2 years. We ended up closing down the Sushi place. We had lots to catch up on and gossip about. :)

Yummy sushi

   

I have been super busy making birthday banners and wreaths. Don’t forget to email me if you want a wreath, birthday banner, or cupcake toppers. I just finished up all of Addison’s birthday stuff for Lyndsey this week. I am so thankful to have it all done and can’t wait for her to share pictures. Here are a few of the latest ones I have done.

I have some exciting news to share. My brother got a job offer in Washington DC and he accepted yesterday! I am so excited for him and Kate. I think this is a wonderful opportunity that God has placed in their lap. Yes I will miss them not being so close but I think it is the best decision for them and their future. He called me this morning to tell me the good news. Plus it will be great to be able to visit them there. :) There are so many cool places around the East Coast.

My other exciting news is that I am officially a Stella & Dot stylist. I am so excited about this new opportunity to bring in a little extra income. I love it already and am working hard to do all the training and start booking trunk shows.I hosted my first show at my house and had lots of fun with my girlfriends shopping for jewelry.  Its just a fun side hobby. What girl doesn’t love jewelry right? I love all of their jewelry and there is a big price range so it fits any budget. Plus it will be a great way to step out of my comfort zone and get out there and meet more people all while having fun. You can always order online and check out my website below.
