Can't wait for this very important date :)

First let me say that I'm a HUGE Tim Burton fan, followed by the fact that I'm an even BIGGER Johnny Depp fan. So when ever they announce that they are doing a project together I get down right giyty. About 15 years ago while writing a paper on the beloved story Alice in Wonderland by Carol Lewis I mused that my dynamic duo should make that tale into a film. I'm sure you can all guess my udder delight when I saw three years ago that they both had signed to make my wish come true (had I known the power I held in that moment so long ago I may have struggled to stay true to the Burton/Depp desires of my heart given all the other things I could have wished true, but you know what they say about hindsight). So I have waited with bated breath for the day to come where I could cuddle up to my warm popcorn and cool diet coke and let myself slip into my favorite place of all - the land of complete whimsy. I adore the absolutely impossible! So here's a little clip of awesome for you to feast on. I hope you can set aside the real and suspend reality for a few hours and let yourself get lost in a bit of good old fashion story telling - it's good for the soul, I promise.




And just a little bit of post scrip info for you all - cause I love to teach you know. Do you know why he was called the Mad Hatter? Well in Lewis' day the hatters used a special formula to shape the brims of the top hats. This concoction used Mercury which long term exposure to caused insanity. Hence the expressionhe's as mad as a hatter.

Stress? What stress?

I've totally turned my stress about life this past week into a burst of creative energy. That and cleaned the heck out of my oven. Seriously you can see yourself in the door. Ahhhhhh feels good. So here's the fruit of my labors. 

 

 

 

 

 

Siblings

There is something about photographing siblings that makes me long to have one myself. I grew up the only child and my only cousin was 9 years my senior. So much of the sibling relationship is very foreign to me. I often look at those who don't get along with each other and I just don't understand how you could take for granted the blessing of that family. Well these cuties live right next door to me and I have watched them grow up so quickly. They love each other and I truly hope they remain as close as they are today!
