I'm back!  After a long hiatus due to my wedding, I'm happy to be back.  Well, I am sort of happy about it.  I don't feel like I have a following whatsoever.  But this is really for me anyways, much like my artwork.  Not very many people enjoy that either.  The wedding day was fantastic!  Only two hiccups really and they're nothing that big at all.  VERY minor gripes.  Here, I'll show you a picture or two to show what it was like...

Not sure who took this for photo credit, but this is the ceremony at the Kinney Bungalow in Narragansett, RI.

Right before the first dance.  Nice shot Chantal, I really love this picture!

Kevin's brother Brian took this picture.  It was right before the reception started.

So that's a taste of our wedding.  It was a beautiful day.  And now things are pretty close to normal.  I mean we still have crazy amounts of plans every week, but this week we actually had some time to do some yard work that we wanted to do.  I've done a lot of thinking these past weeks, and I came up with an idea of what to add to my blog.  Kevin and I got on a fair amount of trips and I'd say we're foodies sometimes.  So I made a profile on Yelp and started doing reviews and taking pictures of things.  So far I made 7 reviews of different attractions, hotels/inns, and restaurants.  It's time consuming, but I find it fun.  I look at Yelp a lot when we're going somewhere new.  So I thought that might be a good place to do my reviews.  Here's one of my reviews I did of a restaurant we ate at on our honeymoon in Nova Scotia. The Grand Banker Bar & Grill review.  I think I'll do my reviews on Yelp and talk about our trip or why we ended up where we did on my blog.  That's the plan.

Another thing I have been thinking about as of late is my artwork.  I'm in a dead holt rut right now.  It really sucks feeling the way I do.  I'm at a point now where I don't trust my skills so I don't do anything.  I'm scared to be honest.  Scared of starting something, again, and not finishing it.  It's something I always do, I should be used to it by now, but I don't like that about my process.  So I thought of doing smaller items for sale.  Small watercolors for instance.  Watercolors I could take wherever if I get a pan set, and keep it small and sell them at a reasonable price.  I thought of doing greeting or note cards as well.  I could make sets and sell those on my store as well.  I really think I might try that.  And I might stay away from oils and acrylics for a while.  I need some distance.  The ink wash drawing of the acorns I did within the past year made me remember why I don't paint in oils or acrylic.  It just doesn't give me the feeling I enjoy in my brush strokes.  So, I am going to give that a try.

So that's all that's new for now in Heather's world.  It's weird having a different last name, but at the same time kind of cool.  I can be a new person, fresh start!  I mean I still feel the same and nothing's changed except my last name, but it's interesting how that makes you feel different.
