cried in class today, twice.

Today was a great day. I had an amazing class this morning where we all shared a moment of tears, lots of hugs, and good art. The pieces were so moving and inspiring that we couldn't help ourselves. After class I did a three hour photo shoot with Savannah trying to emulate the talented Russell James for my master's of photography project. : ) It was perfect.

I have been slacking on the gift guide. I didn't do it yesterday, and now today is really tomorrow, so technically I am due three gifts. Let's get to it:

Verbaleudette's Gift Guide: Day 8 - Boskke Recycled Sky Planter

For those garden, plant, nature, tree hugger, people in your life (Or the ones who think it's cool to be eco friendly) get them something to hang their favorite plants in upside down! But really, it is incredibly artsy and unquie. It would work on a patio, in the yard, or even above a kitchen table. SImple & cute.

Day 9 - Brooklyn Slate Chalkboard Cheese Board

I simply love Brooklyn Slate. Their designs are always classy and chic for everyday household items. The board simply speaks for its self. It is simple & perfect for that newly wed couple, or maybe your daughter just bought a cool flat with brick walls in downtown New York. Or maybe Uncle Jerry who just loves cheese and chalk! (if this doesn't tickle your fancy, seriously just browse around the website. Such fun stuff.)

Day 10 - Lens Mug

It is exactly what the title says - a camera lens converted into a mug. It may seem like an absurd idea, but this screams wonderfully awesome to a photographer like me! No, no, I am not just posting this to hint (but if any of you are lost for idea.. hint hint) It is seriously something like you have never seen before! Imagine the looks your gift receiver will get when they ask to get their soy vanilla latte in that at Starbucks!
