Step in Time, Step in Time!

March 3rd, 2011

So much is going on behind-the-scenes right now (including some new Mary Poppins fans! too bad we have yet to see the whole thing … Apple actually ended up refunding our purchase because the download never completed – isn’t that strange?! I didn’t even know that could happen!). I had to giggle when I came [...]

 

So much is going on behind-the-scenes right now (including some new Mary Poppins fans! ;) too bad we have yet to see the whole thing … Apple actually ended up refunding our purchase because the download never completed – isn’t that strange?! I didn’t even know that could happen!).

I had to giggle when I came across this today – so funny! Totally makes me think of making my own baby sister (& my own kids) laugh at the funniest things or sometimes the not-really-funny-things that make them laugh hysterically ;) ha!

Cute huh :)

Love hearing your thoughts over on Facebook! It’s fun to hear where you guys like to decorate with photos.

I’ve been so busy that the Facebook chatter reminded me of my guest post over on My Crazy Adoption from back in February.

Nothing will give you greater joy and fill your room with instant love than hanging photographs of those you love in the space you spend your time.

You know how much I love seeing the “final shot” of what you guys end up doing in your home! If you have a snapshot you want to share or you want me to stop by & photograph your MachC Walls, let me know!

In other news, my mentoring schedule and shooting schedule is filling up! Let me know if you need in!

Floored by My Walls.

October 28th, 2010

Way back in June, it all began. Well, truthfully, probably before that it was swirling around in my head, but I only have time to work on so many things at once, so we’ll give it June as the ‘birth’date, mm’kay, mm’kay haha. The initial ‘call-out’ to get my clients thinking and moving in the [...]

 

Way back in June, it all began. Well, truthfully, probably before that it was swirling around in my head, but I only have time to work on so many things at once, so we’ll give it June as the ‘birth’date, mm’kay, mm’kay ;) haha. The initial ‘call-out’ to get my clients thinking and moving in the direction of sharing their wall space. Or as a few have said to me when sending emails & images: “Here are my MachC Walls!” :D I LOVE it.

I’ve been collecting snapshots from you all like crazy! (And maybe even visited one of you recently to get the goods ;) what can I say, I am pretty enthusiastic about this project ;) .) So while the project may have started here and here … there is plenty more to see!

Here is a share from Heidi and her family – a summer session of their family of 6.

She framed two 8×12 Matted Gift Prints, flanked on each side with a total of four Matted 5x7s. The finished look is fantastic! Heidi told me how much love & happiness it’s brought to their space – I’m sure at this point she can’t imagine otherwise!

The pull back shot: a 16×24 (and two 8x10s, if I’m remembering right) *all print wraps* center of attention in the family’s dining room.

Here’s another quick snapshot from Kari. This is a pull back of all of her Fine Art Canvas gallery wraps from last year’s session with her crew. She designed it (yes, she did this herself!) off of some sample designs I shared with her. (Which, of course, is completely why I have sample designs to share with you all! There’s no better way to get the juices flowing.)

Okay, let’s see if I have my memory cap on & can rattle these off! ;) (*all fine art canvas) (6) 10x10s, (3) 10x20s and (1) family size 16×20 = pure perfection! :)

And I don’t know who this crazy family is, just thought I’d share one more wall!

I have a few more on deck … but I would love to share yours too! Send in the spaces that you love! I’d love to see & share your MachC Walls.

ETA: everyone’s been asking! These are Fine Art Acrylics, 5 of them on one main wall. I love the almost glass-like look of acrylics, amazing with color & detail. The photographs were done by the amazing Heather Starr of Heather Starr Photography & San Diego photographer fame ;)
