So fun to just find random pictures that I forgot I even took.

I was able to have a friend drive me to the photo store to pick up this film I had developed last week.

Been itching to get over there since I got hurt.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

pretty random

the sun is playing peek a boo with the clouds today.

I never made it to the grocery store yesterday...

so my baking festivities will resume today...

maybe...

because well, applesauce and handful of chocolate chips,

not only do they not go well when eaten together,

don't fill you up much either.

since "my" camera is MIA, 

the photo above is three shots from our trip back in September while driving near Mt. St. Helens, 

superimposed into one super photo.

if your eyes are screaming, stop the madness, I can't focus on this garbled mess....

here are the photos broken down into their more simple forms.

Happy Friday Pretties!!!

"Heavens! I can't get over the jaw-dropping color or the heart-warming aroma of pumpkin spice!

I also love that the cool weather brings everyone in together." 

Congratulations and Happy Fall!!

heart + waterfalls

close your eyes.

imagine for one moment.

you are sitting at the base of a waterfall.

the sound.

pounding water against the rocks below.

the feeling.

ice cold glacier mist against your skin.

the smell.

fresh and earthy.

the sight.

breathtaking.

we hiked to each of these waterfalls while on our trip.

some were in Oregon, some Washington.

oh and that cupcake traveled from Portland just have it's debut 

next to our first waterfall of the trip.

leaving on a jet plane...

So I'm sure you've noticed I've slacked a little on posts this week.

Well, the reason is because I'm heading to the Pacific Northwest on Saturday.

AND... I've officially started vacation mode already...

With all the rain and grey skies,

it has been SO easy just to sleep....

So I just wanted to wish you all farewell.

I'll be back on the twentieth with many photos from the trip.

Until then, enjoy your dose of Friday Pretties!!
