Well, I did it. I finally got a smart phone…and yes, it’s pretty awesome! I have never had one before and I’ve been sporting tiny used cell phones for the last few years to get by. I never really texted because it was physically painful for me to try and text on my old cell phone! I mean I could call 10 people in the amount of time it took me to type in 2 words of text…so I avoided it and until recently, I thought I was surviving just fine without it!

Last month my father n law was asking me something and then told me if I needed anything to just TEXT him! My jaw sort of dropped and I was like, that’s it! All my friends text, my husband texts, my father n law texts and I feel seriously left behind. Then my 2 1/2 year old cut the charge cord I had for my old cell and the phone really was pretty crummy anyway, so last week I headed in to town and got myself a new phone!

I’m pretty sure my kids know how to work this phone better than I do, but I’m learning. I had some free time last week while I was at the lodge with my husband, and I spent the majority of it just trying to figure out what all my phone was capable of and of course taking pictures with it! One of the first apps I downloaded was “Instagram” and it’s so cool!

I love that I can capture all those everyday moments so quickly now. I mean I have always taken a lot of pictures, but at least now I don’t have to go unpack the camera from it’s heavy duty case each time I want to start snapping!

I also love that I can snap pictures of projects and stuff that inspires me and upload it to the web in a matter of seconds!

I spent some time creating this past weekend, and I am almost done with the canvas apron that I started so hopefully I can post pics of it this week!

This is a shot of myself that I took last Thursday evening while I was waiting on Scott. The lodge at Mt. Magazine had an amazing view and we had a balcony in our room – which I spent a lot of time on!

I am going to be working on ATC retreat stuff all this week and hope to show some sneak peaks soon.

Peace, Love, & Happy Creating,
April
