Pottery Painting

Moldy Melonhead

I found a moldy melon in our fridge and my mom decided to dress it up and have me take a picture of it; she's a kindergarten teacher so her actions are expected a little, but still...

Sweet Treats

I was in the mood for my second carmel apple in October, so I decided to make some for my coworkers as well!

Everyone wanted a plain one except for me and one other girl!

I decided to roll mine in nutter butter cookies that were crunched up; it was way sweet but Definatly Delicious!

A coworker of mine wanted one with English Toffee pieces

"Chillin'" in the fridge:)

Greenland, CO

I absolutely Love old barns!

I actually drove by this tractor mailbox and "had" to turn around to get a picture! I thought it was cute!

Catalyst Coffee

I loved the name of this coffee shop because a catalyst is : something that causes an important event to happen.

I know for a fact that I need coffee/caffeine in order to get my day going and make things happen!;)

Whip Cream!

I decided to get artistic with my breakfast:)

Aspen-time

Estes Park date!

I've always wanted to stop at this cute little shop on the way up to Estes, so today I had Doug pull over so we could go in!

They sold cherry cider,cherry pie, jellies and jams, as well as a lot of other types of goodies! Doug and I settled on two bottles of Cherry cider, which was delicious!


No one was around to take our picture:(


Modeling a cute pink hat in a store

There were giant bears everywhere!


I took the opportunity to get some cute pictures of us with the massive bear that cost 500 dollars!

I loved him:)


Cute scarecrow display

We decided to take pictures while waiting for our burgers at Penelope's since it took FOREVER! The picture turned out cute b/c of the reflection of the trees and mountains in the background

Doug was checking on our food so I decided to model the cute new hat I decided to buy!
Finally! I was craving hamburgers everytime I walked by this food place called Penelope's


We found someone to take our picture!
She was so sweet and willing to wait until I liked the picture we got!

By the time we got to the park, the sun was already going down. My camera did not take very good pictures:(

We were able to catch the sunset behind the mountains which was absolutely gorgous!
