It's freezing cold outside, but tonight we are having Avocado shrimp soup La Fuentes style:
Saute onion, a stalk of celery, a carrot chopped, I added (a packet of my frozen cilantro mixed with jalapeno pepper and onion from the garden)

Fresh cilantro and a squirt of lime will do,
toss in the unshelled shrimp to cook to a luscious pink,add a box of broth, chicken or veggie, and a large can of crushed or diced tomatoes.
Simmer-finish with avocado pieces or slices, and top with sour cream.

total YUM...it's a warm shrimp cocktail in the freezing winter.

The dreaded days of being indoors, always lead to trouble. When it began to snow the other day, I went to the hardware store and invested a few bucks to give our bedroom a facelift. Today I would say it is complete, except for spray painting the ceiling fan bronze which I will have to do on a warmer day.

What a beautiful Day, the kind of day to do a DIY project.
So here goes, the first half: thanks to my friend Marie of Woodland Tiles I have some materials to work with. My ugly metal table will be an art piece by tomorrow.. (I hope)
1. step one, a thin coat of tile cement on the surface.
2. step two a thicker layer applied with a toothed tile trowel
3. place the tiles down before the cement sets, you have about 45 minutes.
4. apply tile cement to the edge of the table.
5. add the finish edge trim
Tomorrow we grout!

When you get photog's together they explore, and Steve happened to notice my 5 D Canon idle on the ledge, so the close up's are courtesy of his expertise.

What started out as a challenge, has now become a big deal, Steve Spottswood and I are having a showing of some of our creative efforts tomorrow. It has become much more involved than just clicking the shutter button, there was the cleaning, the organizing, the advertising and promotion, the framing UGH!, and tonight the hanging and pricing of the fruits of our labor.
what we really want is for people to come and see what we have done, and enjoy a drink and conversation. We hope you can be here....Sips and Shots... 113 East Washington Street Slinger, 6:30 to 9:30.

Puerto Vallarta Wedding Photographers | Heather and Mark

2011-11-16T16:39:00.000-08:00

Mark sent intentions out into the universe that called to us while we were in Mexico.
This adorable couple had intended to make a sacred vow to each other, but had no photographer or officiant. They knew what they wanted to say, where they wanted to say it, and how they would use the symbolic rings to make the commitment, then we met them by chance at a pool dance lesson. Fun conversation gave us the chance to be part of their event.
Congratulations to Heather and Mark the proud owners of a cool vegetarian restaurant called NOURISH in Banff Alberta, CANADA.
