Project 52 - Made With Love {2/52}

{Made With Love}

Week two. I originally had a few pictures of my daughter that I was going to use for this project, but then I remembered some other pictures I took this week. Here's a new, ruffled camera strap, complete with my initials. A wonderful friend made this just for me, with love. I have five or six camera straps now and she's handmade every one of them with the exception of the one that came with the camera.

I love all of them. Every single one.

More made with love posts {here}.

Project 52 - Resolution {1/52}

{Resolution}

I stumbled on this project through my friend, Michelle (THANKS Michelle!) I liked it right away because it's not as difficult as a daily challenge and more interesting than a monthly challenge. 

My resolution(s) for this year aren't plentiful. Finding a balance between work and home is big for me this year. I feel like I put forth so many hours into my work in 2011 that I neglected my home life a little. Don't get me wrong, I went on nearly every field trip, attended every classroom party and award ceremony that was held during the school year. I'm going to concentrate on set hours and coming home at a set time every-single-day. I have a company laptop now, I feel that this will be an easy feat to accomplish. I don't have to stay at the office to finish working, I will be able to finish it once I've spent time with my family and the kiddos are asleep. My Day Minder 2012 will help keep me on track - the inside reads, "Leave work at 5pm". I can do this! 

Picking up my camera more is a resolution that I made. I bought a new flash over six months ago (maybe longer) and have yet to use it to its full potential. Can someone give me the easy directions? Nikon seems to have left those out of my box. I'm determined to learn to use it and be GOOD at it!
