So I have a few questions for you….

Well, before I get to my questions…a few pictures to share….

I got to have some girlfriends over for a bit of crafting. I believe latte bowls are better for holding hot glue & mini chocolate bars than actual food. If this party were at my sister’s house, they would have been full of yummy things to eat. Speaking of my sister…here are more pictures I took of her family (including a RAD surprise pic)!

Our craft was not headbands, but there was a lot of fabric involved…and my friend Jamie. I convinced her to walk me through Cakies headband tutorial. I made one for me and one for FireCracker.

The photos of my girl & I were taking with my Android phone. I know…. a Mac addict…with an Android and not an iPhone. Let’s just say it has something to do with a great phone plan that doesn’t support iPhones. Such a shame. I seldom take pictures with my phone, but that will change soon. I had no idea there were apps for Androids! Anyway, cell phone pictures are a great example of how Photoshop actions come in handy. I processed the ones above using free actions from Pioneer Woman. She has lots of great freebies…among the other billion things she does seemingly perfectly!

A simple google search for “free photoshop actions” will bring up more resources for actions than you could probably ever use.

Okay, so now on to the question portion of this post. I need your help…

1. Chris and I are going to Chicago….neither of us have ever been there! I will be getting a Chicago dog, but what else is a must? What neighborhoods should we visit? Restaurants? Keep in mind, we are fans of local dives, ethnic food and hole in the wall spots….not fancy stuff. Shopping is not a priority for me.

2. I need a cute camera bag. For the first time in 7 years I am not carrying around diapers…that means I can’t wrap my camera in a diaper and throw it in my bag (yes, totally do that). So…what cute & functional camera bags are you guys using that you love?

3. I conned Shannon into doing a couple session with Chris and I….however, I am the worst at fashion stuff. Hello…jeans, tanktop & flip flops…I  love you. Any fashionable outfit or shop suggestions?
