I Heart Faces Photowalk – Atlanta

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to grab a spot in the I heart faces photography  Photo Walk. This was the first year the event was held with 20 cities participating. I am a huge fan of I heart faces  and I joined as a member earlier this year. The I heart faces group has been a wonderful resource for all things photography. The members are so helpful in answering questions and there are so many tips and techniques that are shared.

The Atlanta walk was held in Oakland Cemetery. I have lived in Atlanta for 15 years and this was my first visit. Oakland Cemetery is the oldest cemetery, as well as one greenest spaces in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded as “Atlanta Cemetery” in 1850 on six acres  of land southeast of the city. The cemetery was renamed in 1872 to reflect the large number of oak and magnolia trees growing in the area. It is truly a beautiful last resting place.

I was happy to meet our group leaders Dawn Camp and Mishelle Lane. They both were so kind and very helpful in answering questions and sharing information to help those who have jumped into the Digital Camera world. Go Canon! They both are bloggers so scoot over to My Home Sweet Home and Secret Agent Mama and check out their amazing photography skills. You will be inspired for sure!

Here are the images I collected on our Photo Walk.  I had a such a great time and I look forward to next year when I hope we get to do it all over again!

Guess who I found?!

That’s me down there! Thanks to Mishelle for the photo!

Last week I was catching up with one of my favorite bloggers The Pioneer Woman and I fell in love with the cutest Owl Earrings she posted about. I went straight to Krushdesignz Etsy store and bought myself a set! Etsy is a social commerce website that focuses on handmade or vintage items as well as art and craft supplies. You can find a wide range of fabulous items including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, edibles, bath & beauty products, quilts, nick-knacks and toys. Really, you must check it out.

Monica with Krush Designz has a wonderful shop where  you can find fun, one of a kind jewelry. She sent me an email on June 4th to let me know she would be shipping my earrings Monday morning. Guess what came in the mail today?!

A cute little bag with a Butterfly Stamp! So Sweet. And inside the bag were these…
