{South Carolina Vacation - Part 1}

Okay,.... I really love blog posts with tons of pictures and I'm even guilty of sometimes skipping over the story and just looking at the pictures. But I don't like it when I can't pick a reasonable number of pictures for my own posts, so I'm also guilty of the occasional picture overload. I'll try to keep the commentary short on this one. ;)

My husband and I met up with my parents at a beach house in South Carolina for a week of relaxation. We spent a bit of time at the beach every day, some time at the house sewing and watching movies, a little time shopping and a lot of time eating.

I love the picture above and that cute little girl in the background.

I was like a kid at the beach. Every so often the waves would bring in these little tiny clam-ish creatures by the hundreds. They would scatter all over the sand and once the water washed away, they would dig themselves into the sand. It was fun to watch them all wiggle their way into the ground. If I were to collect them from the beach and bring them home (which I didn't) they would have opened up like the ones in this picture that I found on the deck of the beach house,... little butterfly clams. Cute.

Of course, we built a sand castle,... well, kind of. It's one of those drippy sand creations. Turned out pretty cool, it even had its own pond. :)

Under Armour, at the beach.

Beautiful sunset from the house porch. So fun, so relaxing, so great to see my parents. Have any of you ever been to South Carolina beaches?? We were near Myrtle Beach. Do any of you have any exciting summer vacation plans???

Like I said, there was some creating going on at the beach house. Sewing, quilting, crocheting and an overload of movies. It. Was. Perfect.

Stay tuned for South Carolina Vacation, Part 2.

{Power In Pink}

That's the slogan. The challenge?? Show your departments support for Breast Cancer Awareness through AS MUCH PINK AS YOU CAN!!! I think we have a lot of support in our department, what do you think???

UPDATE: OUR DEPARTMENT WON THE POWER IN PINK CONTEST!!! How cool! AND the Sales department raised a generous amount of money that the company will match for a donation to the cause. What a fun, friendly and rewarding day!

{On The Water Taxi}

Last Friday me and my co-workers hitched a ride on the water taxi to have lunch across the harbor! It was totally cool, we had an awesome lunch overlooking the water and on the way back Jamie snapped this great shot of our office with her sweet camera phone! Thanks for the picture Jamie!

{Newest BLOG}

So, here I AM! I have been so eager to start a BLOG and have been pondering over a name for weeks! I finally went with my gut and picked! I enjoy so much reading other peoples BLOGs and walk around on a daily basis thinking about wonderful things to share but haven't been able to... until NOW! In preparation for my new journey, I made a trip to the bookstore AND just purchased an awesome, super fancy camera that I hope to learn how to use soon! ;)

My name is Jessie, I am 29 years old and very recently married to Tom :) We live in a sweet little, 100 year-old town home in Baltimore, Maryland. I grew up in Texas but moved up here to be with Tom about 3 years ago. I work a full time job for a growing company called Under Armour and am very proud to be part of such a cool, up-and-coming company with such a great story. I LOVE art and spend most of my free time making jewelry and boxes and finding new projects to inspire me.

Through my BLOG I hope to share projects, photography, life and anything and everything that might inspire me or bring inspiration to others. I can't wait!!!

Happy Monday!!!
