Recently I was called to be the enrichment counselor in my relief society. For one of our enrichment activities we learned how to decorate cakes. I had a lot of fun! I can't believe how hard it is especially after our beautiful teacher Jocelyn Samuelson made it look E-A-S-Y! All growing up my mom made such fun cakes for birthdays and a special occasions. My favorite cake she made when I was in kindergarden and had the chicken pox. She made a cake that had chicken pox (red hots) all over!
Seriously?!?!?!

I have disappeared from the blogging world for the last month or so. I've been feverishly working on my photography blog: www.belindaolsen.com. I love the way that it turned out! I've been working on transferring some images from here to there and I've loved the clients I've worked with. Now that is up and running........
we'll see. :-)
Here are just a few of the projects that I've been working on lately.

I have fallen in love with Anthropologie! I love this store and love it the most when they have S-A-L-E-S! I have fallen in love with these jewelry pieces and am really excited for craft day next Saturday with my cousins to make jewelry and hair accessories. If anyone has any great ideas, tips, places to pick up unique pieces, websites with instructions just leave me a comment with the address.


A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to head to Yellowstone with some friends, the Rodemack's. I have lived in Logan all my life, a few short hours away from Yellowstone and had never been there before. (gasp, I know)
Getting to Yellowstone was a drive that should have only taken 4 short hours but actually took us closer to 10. We had lots and lots of car troubles...well it wasn't our car but the Rodemack's car that we were driving there. The car over heated, the brake pads had to be replaced, ultimately almost the entire engine needed to be replaced. At one of our stops in tiny little town, Idaho with no real gas station, I saw this picture and had to smile. It was complete irony and fitting for our trek.
While the guys were trying to find a store with antifreeze I was wondering and explore through a lot of vacant, dilapidated buildings and stumbled across this...
Portrait photography is by far my main area of focus. It was really different and challenging to focus on landscapes. This is one of my favorite shots of the trip for some reason. It's different than the traditional shots you always see.
Craig and I were invited by my parents to go with them on a drive to see the salmon spawning. There were zero fish to be seen running up stream. As we were walking back to our car I saw this thistle and fell in love with it! I think that so often we pass through life, and its challenges in autopilot. I know I am often guilty of this. I loved the opportunity to leave my cell phone and spend some time with family and just enjoy life. It really is the simple things that bring a smile to my face. =)
