another photo obsession

about a month ago, I discovered the Instagram app for my phone. Things will never be the same.

Monday marked 3 months until my birthday. The dreaming has begun. Among my many thoughts is the desire to visit a photobooth. I'm becoming increasingly more obsessed with photobooths and having never experienced the joy of one in person, I feel that my 26th is a great time to do so. (and mark it off the list too!) I'm fairly positive this obsession increased because of one of my new favorite movie, Amelie and thanks to people like hulaseventy and her photobooth Fridays. So, perhaps a photobooth experience will be a festivity for my birthday and maybe I'll even ask for this book with this great cover:

And I feel my life is much enhanced by discovering photobooth images like this:

and especially this:

(via that American Photobooth book)

That one just kills me.

I can't help but wish that I had discovered these gems earlier in marriage. A photobooth image every anniversary would be such a great idea. Not too late to start right?

#14 marked off the list.

Blueberry pie made from scratch. I'm especially proud of the lattice crust.

Oh, it was delicious. Especially with French vanilla ice cream.

This is a great crust recipe. And I was fairly happy with this blueberry pie recipe although I did adhere to some commentors' suggestions about increasing the cornstarch.

ironically not made of apples

For some reason, I think this is really cool. There is something just so wonderful about fruit. The colors, the textures and patterns. Pure yumminess!
