"Photography takes an instant out of time altering life by holding it still" ~ Dorothea Lange

It's party time!



Okay I found this thru another blogger(  http://www.becominghomegrown.com )that I follow and it seemed like a great idea to join in the fun. This whole idea was started by http://www.5minutesformom.com several years ago, head over there to check them out. Their blog is full of great information. 

 Lets see if I do this correctly :) 

My name is Carmen, a very happy and grateful stay home mom of two beautiful boys ages 5 and almost 3; married to an amazingly supportive man. One of the words that describes me is dreamer, I always have been and probably always will be. I'm have a creative soul, I love reading, writing and drawing at times. Love my family and friends more than words can describe. I'm a giver, very passionate person. If I could I would take my camera with me everywhere. Is it okay to say that I love my camera because it allows me to freeze little and big moments that pass by way to fast. Gosh don't know what else to say it's hard to talk about me....I rather let you see. 

I just started my blog at the beginning of this year as a way to share my new 365 photography project with others. So far it has been super fun. Sometimes I still can't believe I the one that used to be afraid of computers has a blog, a facebook account and uses her computer on a daily basis. I have meet some many great friends and learned so much thru this bright screen. 

I will confess that I love reading the comments I get. It's hard to describe but it makes me happy. I need to get better at leaving them when I visit other blogs.

I hope you enjoy my blog it's quite simple but I'm learning everyday so you never know when it will change.
