Insta-LOVE.

I can't help it. I'm addicted to Instagram.  It's handy and fun and well... instant.  I used to walk hunched over because I carried my big Canon in my purse all. the. time.  Though I still use it daily, I love having my phone handy for a quick moment capture.

 I've still been doing my #dailythankfuls on Instagram... and my Etsy store is a definite thankful.  I have a fun new print for the holidays in stock right now... absolutely LOVE it.  (11x14 in size, just slip it into a standard sized 11 x 14 frame and you're good to go!) And Yes... I had to drag all of this cute stuff onto my front porch to stage and photograph this sign for my shop, due to the drizzly weather.  I'm sure I give the neighbors a good laugh constantly.  Isn't this a fun collection of festivity though? It was so cute it almost pained me to put it all back, and at the very least I think I know what direction I want my Christmas decor to go now.  

 Don't you think I need one of these?  I would put "LMM" on the license plate. Ha!

 I had no idea zinnias would become one of my favorite planted flowers.  Bright and long lasting, they are still blooming in my garden!  I keep thinking I've got the last of them... but a few more pop up.  I am planting a ton more next year.

 Ah my neighborhood.  Always love this little spot.

 Last year Martha inspired Ava and I to make this.  I took it down when Lucy died because it was sad... and how funny is it that we have another black little girl dog to step right into Lucy's place in this project?  We rehung it and all smiled.  Smiling's our favorite.

 Sweet bloggy/Instagram buddy gave me this pattern for a ruffled scarf.  I'm pretty sure my knitting is forever changed.  I will never knit the same plain scarf again!  (Just don't ask me to explain it for you.)

 You would never know that this smiling-faced-cutie-pie-little person had caused so much trouble on this day would you?  I posted that I was seriously in need of a long nap... yeah... never did that that nap. Ha!

 I had leftover bay leaves from cooking... twisted them into a sweet little wreath... now I want more.  Many more.  Why didn't I plant a bay leaf bush in my yard??  Why?  I have a need for many bay leaf wreaths.... Did I mention that already?

 I know... you've seen it before.  In "real" photos...  Twas just so cute... had to show it again.  Sometimes my blog and Instagram walk hand-in-hand... sometimes they don't.  You just never know what you're gonna get. 

Sometimes I need the reminder..... don't we all?

Do you Instagram?  Give me a shout in comments so I know your Insta name... I love following you guys back I just don't always know who goes with what names out there!

Go forth and capture those little moments.  So very much to be thankful for and appreciate, isn't there?
