Photo of the Week

Adorable Sleepy Jewels (4), originally uploaded by Jewelzy Bug.

Keeping on the theme of inspiration this week I wanted to share this photo taken by another crafty lady with a Boston terrier named Jewels. My little Boston, Achilles, inspires me every day with his goofy smile and loving heart. Check out some of JewelzyBug’s great craft projects on Flickr or visit Café Press to see her designs for sale.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

French Quarter, New Orleans, originally uploaded by Kyle Hammons Photography.

Photo of the week is set in the French Quarter of New Orleans because I am headed there for the first time this weekend. I believe New Orleans is a place everyone needs to visit at least once in their life and this is finally my opportunity to do so. Although now that I'm in driving distance I hope to make lots of visits in the future as well. This photo popped out to me because of the beautiful, soft color pallet of night on Bourbon street. I hope to post some of my own photos from the trip when I return next week.
