Blogroll Breakdown: My Tiny Plot

I’m still making the transition to my Erin Condren life planner.

{If you are male and reading this…hold please…I promise there is a point.}

And here’s the point:

Never underestimate the power of a sticker.

And if you are male and reading this and right now thinking wha??? please know that I used to teach high school, to girls AND boys and those boys would march right up to my desk faster than anything if I forgot to put a sticker on their “A” test paper. And sometimes they would do it if they thought their neighbor’s sticker was better than theirs, but there are weirdos everywhere…

Seriously getting to the point now:

In parenting, in teaching, in personal life goals: Never underestimate the power of a sticker.

Enter another one of my favorite blogs: My Tiny Plot.

It’s a gardening blog, but for me it’s a gardening photography blog. It represents my garden photography goals: beautiful composition, dreamy lighting, perfect styling.

{Hey Gillian, style my life?}

I’ve worked with this camera since just before bitty E was born, and I like it a lot. But it is complicated. And I’ve had more photography classes than I care to own up to. So, yes, in some ways photography = that Organic Chemistry class in college that my bff breezed through {but C’MON her dad DISCOVERED AN ELEMENT} while I limp wholeheartedly toward a C- that I am oddly proud of.

Back to the stickers.

I think I’m going to give myself one, in my fancy new planner, every time I learn a new camera trick. For there are buttons, oh there are buttons, that I have no idea how to operate. {Buttons that probably secretly wish they were self-destruct buttons because they are so tired of the idiot operating them.}

I have this new-to-me-garage-sale-find shelf on the patio. It has often found itself the focus of my pictures since I started blogging as the bitties love to play on it.

 

I know I want to spray paint it black and that I want it styled in a cool way. And I know that Gillian would know how to do it. HELP ME, GILLIAN!

So, in conclusion, {how’s that for a transition??}  thank you Gillian, for the inspiration! You don’t just want things to grow—you want them to grow pretty. In beautiful combinations with the right accessory.

Right now I’m just stuck on grow, please, just a little… but there’s always next season.
