wanna help me choose?

i'd love a little help?!? i'm trying to choose a few photos to frame in my kitchen. all of food. all that i love. trying to decide if i should stick with one artist, or pull from a few different ones. i want the overall feel of the photos to be the same. so i either want all of them to be subdued in color, or vibrant in color... what are your three favorites together? here's a snapshot of my etsy favorites:


of course, i could throw my own photo into the mix? maybe this could be #4? or is it too orange? i could re-stage this shot using lemons or strawberries. that might go better with the other photos?



oh, and what do you think about these egg shots i snapped? should i just take my own photos and save the money. i realize they aren't as good, but maybe worth saving the money?



your opinions, please!!

  2. oh my gosh. this is hard. your egg pics are totally fine to use. they look the same as the others, to me. also, what if you cropped the oranges one in an interesting way, kind of like #7, which is a favorite of mine. i also really love #5 because of the childishness of it. it feels welcoming. for a subdued combo, i like 14, 16 & your eggs. :)

  3. yah i like #5 too.
    wish i could see your kitchen, though.
    i reeeeealllly like the idea of you doing the pictures.
    i think you will like it more.
    couldn't you do your eggs, your oranges and do one of cookies and milk too?
    if i had to choose from the top, i'd choose 5,12, and 13.....but seriously...you should set yourself up a little shoot and challenge yourself!

  4. So fun, I'm always better at this for other people. I think your pictures are definitely good enough to use! If I had to choose from the others...
    7,10,12 for vibrant or 9,13,15 for subdued. Good luck choosing.Can't wait to find out what you did!

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
