Well shoot. I guess this is the last year (for a while anyway) that my selective dyslexia will work. Which means that, starting next year, I will be counting backwards instead! 😉
After a crazy week (Sara testing positive for influenza A, influenza B, and strep), and Melissa waking up yesterday and not feeling well (tested negative for flu and strep) and staying home, both girls are back in school. Greg took today off work, and we’re going to see what kind of trouble we can get into.
These earrings were my Birthday present from Greg…. and he gave them to me a couple of weeks early!!
They were made by Rebecca and I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. Check out her other beautiful jewelry on Etsy.
I just love the way she photographs her creations, and I did the same with these earrings, but chose something different to post here. And, after getting a haircut yesterday, I did shorten them bu one link, because they were too long (or my hair is now too short).

Happy Birthday!!! Wow, I love how you photographed these… I like it better than mine! Did you use foam core and a lightbox? Thanks so much for the shout out. Have a fabulous day!

Thanks Becky 🙂
I still like YOUR photo of them better LOL
Can’t remember what I put them on… it eas either just my kitchen counter, or a piece of paper on my kitchen counter. No light box, I used my speedlite with the Gary Fong Lightsphere.

Ha! Selective dyslexia….too funny. Age is just a number!
I hope you and Greg have a FABULOUS day! Those earrings are sweet! Love the colors of the green glass with the bronze/copper metal. I bet they look lovely on you!
Did it take all your inner strength to NOT grab that fork and dive into that delicious-looking chocolate cake?? Too perfect of a photo…we all know it didn’t STAY that way. 😉
I hope the girls are feeling better!
Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🙂

Thanks, Tracy! I ate that piece of cake after I got the shots I needed! Maybe next year I’ll post a picture of the crumbs left on the plate 😉
Both girls are feeling much better!

Thanks Amber, it is 🙂 BUSY, but great!

Amazing shots Michaela, and HB too… I know how you feel about having hair too short as well, but I like to think I’m just growing too tall for mine… 😉

Thank you Brian. LOL, that’s one way of looking at it….. now how to I explain all the gray??!! (Other than blame hubby and the kids)

What a gorgeous shot of those beautiful earrings, and the cake looks divine!! So sorry to hear how sick the girls were. Something crazy must be going around. My hubby had a fever of 103 last week!! I couldn’t believe it. Glad they’re back in school though 🙂

Thanks Amber…. hope your hubby is feeling better, too!

Lucky you to receive jewelry made by Rebecca! I bought a bracelet from her for my sister for her birthday last fall – and I had a hard time giving it up! Wanted to keep it for myself!

Beautiful earrings! Lucky you. Sorry to hear about all the illness but glad everyone is on the mend. 🙂
That cake looks scrumptious!
