Mine are on a hard drive.  And about 35 DVDs.  Ask my friends, they will tell you what a horrible mother I am, because none of my son’s pictures are printed out past 6 weeks old.  I just don’t know what to DO with them all.  I cringe at the idea of them sitting in an album getting dusty.  Yet, I don’t want to cover my walls with them.  (Well, actually I do, but I know how annoyed people get with tons of pictures all over the place.)

I came across this blog post today (my google reader is as neglected as this poor blog!)  and decided that I’m going to start displaying my pictures in cool ways.  I got two really awesome cameras for my birthday, so I have no excuse to think outside of the box.  I’ll report back when I actually finish a project.

And of course, I want you to display your pictures too!

Well, let’s face it, I’m never actually OFF line, I do have an iPhone. But, my little iBook g4 died a sudden, but expected death last week.  I just got her replacement today, and let me tell you I’m EXCITED to work again!  I can’t wait to start editing on this bad boy.

Hopefully soon I’ll be back with pics, and a little giveaway.  Stay tuned!

I’m a blog-a-holic.  I have about 50 blogs in my google reader.  (Googler reader is a MUST if you want to be a professional blog stalker like me.)

Here are my top ten,

1. ohdeedoh – I know I’ve posted this blog before, but I seriously LOVE it.  I can’t tell you how many awesome ideas I’ve gotten for kids rooms from this blog.  (Apartment therapy is awesome too, if you need grown-up space ideas)

2. purlbee – This blog is from the awesome purl soho in NYC.  I dream of visiting there in person one day.  Great DIY ideas.

3. soulemama – This blog is from an author, she has written 2 great books, “Handmade Home,” and “Creative Family.” Check them out, and check out the blog.

4. simplemom – this blog has many off-shoots as well, simple organic, simple kids, etc.  All awesome.

5. re-nest – another apartment therapy blog.  Awesome advice about being green.

6. sesame ellis – a commercial photographer, and mom who shares her work and life.  She also has “beyond snapshots” which is great for anyone wanting to get their feet wet in photography.

7. design*sponge – LOVE this blog.  I like to save up a bunch of posts on my reader and read them over the weekend with a nice hot beverage.

8. make & takes – another DIY blog.  great kids crafts.

9. sew liberated – another great blog with DIY ideas from a montessori mom.

10. green baby guide – says it all.

and I have to add two more, because these have the most awesome projects!

11. prudent baby – I’m making many of the things I’ve read on this blog for my bambinos.

12. under the sycamore – another photographer and mom.  She is very talented, and has awesome craft ideas!

My ever growing self is making it less and less possible to run after toddlers, or get down on the ground to shoot without the help of a very strong person to help me up. So, until further notice, I’m on a break.  I’ll be back in action once I get to sleep more than 2 hours at a time.  I’m really missing doing sessions, I can’t wait to “get back on the horse.”

I’m NOT going to neglect this blog, (like I have been) but it’s going to be a little different around here.  I’m working on a bunch of DIY projects, so I will be sharing those, as well as sprucing this place up.  I’m also going to post something “green” every week, since that’s one of my many passions in life.

I want to thank all of my past clients for letting me into their lives to capture their families.  Stick around, there are lots of big changes coming for Amber Campbell Photography!
