…for your patience and votes the last two weeks as my little handmade stop motion short went from entrant to semi-finalist to finalist. So many of you blogged and tweeted and shared it and I am so grateful! It was thrilling. I won’t know until later this week if I was one [...]

This is the chaos in which I made my little film. I sat myself down one Saturday night and pressed my shutter button hundreds of times until I had every frame. I filmed the whole thing too- so later today I should be also posting a video of the making. =)

I’ve been [...]

I haven’t been this excited about a project in a long time. I’ve been losing sleep over it for days (that spinning mind that won’t wind down) and you should have seen me tonight- I was just outta control with adjusting lights and getting Garth’s opinion on exposure and white balance and the background [...]

I am finishing sewing projects for nieces and nephews that I’ll see the [...]

Saturday was the Correy Station Navy Birthday Ball. In true Laura fashion I spent the whole morning and the previous evening working on my dress. I couldn’t wear anything that I already had in the closet because I have no waist. So I cut up a Michelangelo wedding dress that I’d thrifted [...]

Bruno came into our lives a teeny tiny puppy the summer of 2000. He was named Bruno because he was born in San Bruno, CA. He would whine when left alone so I would sneak him into my room at night to sleep with me. He wouldn’t fall asleep until I was [...]

Hi friends and neighbors. My life is a little wonky at the time being.
Some updates:
I’m still constantly sick.
I drove to the Columbus, GA Red Robin last week for my third interview for management.
Today I turned down the position (and the two months in Spokane, and the moolah!) because I don’t think I can handle [...]

And, something very special is happening this week. 10 points if you know.
xo elle!
