A random glimpse into my photo folder.

I was given the opportunity to get in on a fun little game when I was tagged on Velvetwoods, a lovely blog that I follow religiously. Here's the deal:

1. Open your first photo folder.
2. Scroll to the 10th photo.
3. Post the photo on your blog and tell the story behind it.
4. Tag people to do the same.

So without further hesitation, let me show you what this random little survey of my photo folder turned up.



It's a sea anemone that I photographed during a visit to the Oklahoma Aquarium and then altered using photoshop. If you're interested in this process, check out my tutorial on it here.

Here's who I'm tagging:

These ladies always have gorgeous photos on their blogs, so do yourself a favor and go check them out!

Now I've got an exciting bit of news for you. The Tulsa Craft Mafia was featured in Tulsa People magazine! Click here to read the online version of the article.



Not only did they include a picture of us, they also added some photos of our work. Here's something of mine that was published.



What kind of good news do you have to share??

umm... good news... well, we're just about done painting. Well, I'm done. But the hubby still has a few touch up's he wants to do...

Now I'm just trying to figure out where to start in this etsy biz of mine. I feel like I've been gone for so long!

Brigid- that's because you've got amazing posture. Look at you, standing up all straight and pretty!

DancingMooney- I know how you feel, friend. My etsy shop could really use some love right now, but I'm too busy keeping up with school and preparing for craft shows to pay much attention to it. Hopefully I'll get some new items listed before the Christmas rush begins.

Awesome work on that shot, btw!!

i found the link to the tulsa craft mafia from another blog but i was so excited to see your smiling face on it and your item featured!!! :)

i was excited to read the urban tulsa weekly article about indie emporium and they mentioned my zombie hair clip and circus cookie necklace! i'm a little sad they didn't mention my name.. but it was so exciting either way! i hope someone comes and says "hey i read about these in urban tulsa weekly" also.. i got my first paycheck at work and i feel rich! hahaha i've been living off a couple "happy graduation" checks for months now!
