Making the Internet A Better Place
Fact: The internet needs more cute puppy photos.
I live to serve.

Last night Alexis and I attended an ice cream social hosted by Giant Eagle at their headquarters. There were literally dozens and dozens and dozens of different kinds of ice cream to try as well as tables filled with various pies, but what was my kid's favorite food that she got to try while there? POTATO CHIPS.
The hell?
I swear she's an alien.
When I die, I hope heaven is filled with that much ice cream and pie.

There is a Getting Started with Your DSLR workshop coming up on July 21st starting at 9:00am. This will be the last workshop until at least October, so if you've been putting off attending, GET ON IT. It's the perfect workshop for anyone who has invested in a DSLR but hasn't quite figured out how to use it beyond auto mode. More information and the registration link are available over here.

Perhaps you are super observant and already noticed, but I feel like I should point out that I finally had enough sidewalk chalk drawings to build out a photo gallery for them all. You can see it here.
A whole bunch of you have suggested I make a book out of the images, but I don't feel like there are nearly enough for that level of shenanigans. If I were to ask YOU to create your own sidewalk chalk photos that would be compiled into a book with proceeds benefiting Christmas Crazy, would you play along? It's a purely hypothetical question at this point, but I figured I would ask.

My new favorite photo of people who didn't spend nine months kicking me in the bladder:
I would just like to state for the record that the photo has not been edited AT ALL. No Photoshop, no Lightroom, NOTHING. I'm crazy proud of that because I am a giant dork who hates editing photos.
More amazing and fantastic and smile-worthy photos from that session are here.
By the way, the offer still stands.

I'm headed out of town for a few days. You'll hear all about the why soon enough (You will NEVER guess why. NEVER EVER.). In the meantime, I have scheduled some posts just in case I don't have time or internet access while I'm gone. Here's to hoping you don't end up seeing those scheduled posts, though!

PUPPY!
Yup. The stupid sparkly pink bow is still funny.

You should make a calendar out of the sidewalk chalks that people submit! That way, you could do it every year for Christmas Crazy.
I like the calendar idea too, I think it would be cute. I picked up our dog Millie from the groomer for the first time yesterday, and I was ridiculously excited because she was going to have bows in her hair! I live in a house full of boys this is as close as I can get to something girly. She had bright pink bows, and I adore them.
I am not at all creative, but I would buy a calendar with your chalk photos in it. I love dogs but don't have one, so you are definitely making MY internet a better place.
Sidenote: I hope this doesn't irk you, but Alexis' forehead looks like it no longer draws attention. Does she notice?
I'd totally be in for chalk book/christmas crazyness. I have a deck above my driveway, so it would probably be easy to do! Plus my dad has mad art skillz. and my grandma used to be a publisher. We should chat...
I love the puppy pictures and the bow makes them a little better.
I guess me and my son are aliens as well, because if we were at the ice cream place we would have chosen the potato chips as best food too.
i would totally play along...assuming you would photograph me in your driveway. ha!
but yes, i would buy a book of your chalk drawings.
and i love that muppet dog. puppy pictures are a good thing.
