Authentic

This picture was part of a challenge from the brilliant Becky Higgins (www.Beckyhiggins.com ).  I love her...I am obsessed with everything about her...her looks, her blue kitchen subway tile, her scrapbook room/office, the built in TVs in her kitchen that ONLY rotate/show pics...how cool is that?!  She is beautiful, has an eye for great style and color, I love her Project Life (just started mine this year) and has some really cool free downloads - anyway...her challenge...set your camera down (literally) and snap the pic. 

Here is what my pic looks like...let me tell you about it ...and in turn, I think it speaks volumes about me!  So try it and try visiting her blog, you wont wanna leave...I promise!

 Apparently I love drinks...yes, I do!  Coke Zero, La Croix Lime and of course a Grande, NF Cinnamon Dolche Latte from Starbucks!  All perched next to my Dell, pink laptop that I LOVE...I feel like having a laptop has been good and bad for me...either way it has opened-up a whole new world for me...and I have loved learning all about people, new recipes, blogging, photo editing, tutorials and information on any thing imaginable!  The silver creamer holds some of my fav pens and pencils...the creamer was my Mom's and was part of a set that was always out in our home when I was growing-up...love it, I always feel close to her with it sitting here.  The tortoise Parsons table is my desk and was also in our home growing-up...in our finished basement - we ate meals on it by the fireplace and did an occasional game or puzzle too.  I love this table, it is falling apart in some places but I wont let it go.  And mu other favorite thing - (from the photo) is the Making Memories caddy...Bryan and the kids gave it to me a few Christmases ago...it holds so much!  Pens, markers, adhesives, ruler, calculator, it has small drawers for clips, brads, etc and it spins which I love!
