Hello! Somehow I decided that I already didn’t have enough things to do during my work-free time and am venturing into photography. My husband considers himself decent at photography (but he is rusty) and offered to let me use his camera and coach me. Don’t ask me what camera…I know it has a fixed lens for now and that it doesn’t use film.

All of this started because I decorated a small area in our den to place our March Madness brackets (family tradition to have everyone pick a bracket and then we argue over who has the best bracket during Sunday dinner). This area was my lazy attempt to create an area where we hang holiday and birthday cards and now transitioned into the sole holiday/seasonal decor area in our home. It is composed string tied between two large clear command hooks and mini clothespins (I can usually find different colored clothespins or themed ones in the holiday aisle of department or craft stores). The items for the specific design below was brought to you by Michaels, Joann’s, and Party City with a total cost was about $7. I found the cute basketball themed stickers in the scrapbooking area. The basketballs came in a set with soccer balls and footballs which means I am set for other sport themes.
