I was playing around awhile ago taking photos for a mock up for a friend’s book cover. Which led me to thinking up other crazy book covers… You know how I love to play with my photos in photoshop.
Anyway, I took some more photos and played around with them and came up with this make-believe book about The Love Nest.
(stalker played by The Impish One)
I did have a good time creating the cover and playing with making it look like midnight…(took the house shot in broad daylight).
No, it’s not a real book. Yes, I should be cleaning the house, doing laundry, and paying bills…why do you ask?
So, what do you do to avoid your chores??

Hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day. We sure did. Had a BBQ here…had to put up the pop up canopy to get some shade in the nasty heat! Do you have one of those? About $99 from Walmart, but we use it all the time. Easy to put up and take down. Use it for shade, rain protection, and when we go to the beach. Facetimed with my youngest, and I’m still not sure my parents knew what was going on with that. Anyway the party started at 1pm…the stragglers left about 6:30pm. Fabulous. Thanks to my oldest for staying and helping us take everything down and put things away. You are my favorite.
And, weirdly…I took not one photo. Not. One. So not like me.
A few updates on construction on our new place. Not much happened the last few weeks. We did get yet more cement poured. Here is our stamped concrete front porch. Isn’t it pretty? I love how it looks like old weathered boards. Will fit in with my farm house/seaside cottage feel that I’m going for.
Then, the other night I talked SuperGuy into going out to the land just at sunset. I saw the clouds forming and said “run, run, we HAVE to go out to the land and grab sunset photos.” To SuperGuy’s credit, he didn’t even roll his eyes. He just got up and grabbed the truck keys…
So worth it. I got this:
and this nice silhouette of SuperGuy
Love him. :heart:
Anyway, if you want to follow along on some of the inspiration I’m getting for our Columbia house, feel free to follow my COMO House board on Pinterest. We have lots of decisions left to make. I’m sure I”ll be asking for opinions, because, you know, I’m like that.

I’m forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.
Fortune’s always hiding,
I’ve searched everywhere,
I’m forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
So, now, if you know the song…you can have it stuck in your mind too, like it’s been stuck in mine since I saw this photo of my oldest blowing bubbles…
I’m not sure why, but we often, still—even though the boys are grown–have bubbles at our get togethers. Almost everyone will grab a bottle of them at some time and start playing.
I love bubbles. There, I said it. I love how they float on the air. I love how they get a rainbow pattern on them. I love how when I photograph them, I can see reflections in them. I confess to even looking for a bubble machine on Amazon…
So there you have it…my confession of the day… I love bubbles. Now I think I’ll go find a bottle of bubbles and go play for awhile. Anyone care to join me?
