MailPix Photo Englargement

February 22, 2016March 26, 2013

I have been trying to put up my wedding photos since they came back from the photographer in August, 2012, but have not found time to do so. Finally, as I have made time to put them together, we are probably going to be moving in April. Before I found out about the move, I ordered photo enlargements of a few of favorite wedding pictures. I want to put the largest pictures in the middle and put smaller pictures of the wedding around it in a collage type fashion. The photo sizes will range from 20×30 photos, 12×18 pictures, to 5 x 7.

How to Wear Yellow to Work!

My sister, Bobbie wore this outfit to work, minus the sunglasses, of course. She got a ton of compliments on how cheerful she seemed that day.

House Hunting!

February 22, 2016March 18, 2013

Now that my hubby and I are with child, we have been on the hunt for a new house. We stopped looking for a while as everything we looked at that was in our price range needed a lot of work. They were all livable, but extremely outdated. It is hard to imagine maxing out our budget to buy the home and then needing to come up with a ton more money to redo bathrooms, the kitchen, and in some cases add hurricane shutters. We would have to either compromise our choice of neighborhood or our tastes. Neither option was ever going to happen so we stopped looking for a while.

Wynwood Murals

December 21, 2017March 8, 2013

Miami’s Wynwood is an outdoor art gallery for street artists. The Wynwood Murals were conceived by Tony Goldman in 2009 and brought to life in 2010. Since the Wynwood neighborhood is stock full of large of warehouse buildings mostly without windows those building were destined to used as giant street art canvases. Instead of arresting street artist, Graffiti is now considered a form of art and Miami is celebrating these artist by giving them canvas for the world to see.

Artists that can be found in Wynwood that I love are Invader, Retna, Shepard Fairey, and Swoon. While driving around the neighborhood the other day, I found this amazing mural featuring Audrey Hepburn, but have been unable to figure out the artist’s name. If anyone knows who did this street art, please comment below. I found a picture of the mural several places on the internet with the best shot of the Audrey Hepburn mural here.
