Motley Crue The End – My Final Show (Concert Photography)

Tomorrow is Motley Crue’s cinema debut of their final show!  I’m traveling, with my boyfriend and a group of friends, to Rockford, IL to see the film. SO EXCITED!  Click here to see if there’s a theater near you.

It still feels a bit surreal that they’re done performing as a band.  But it’s okay they left us with a library of music to last a lifetime.

I was lucky enough to see them from the front row of their final tour.  My girlfriend is a master at scoring the best seats in the house!  It was there that I experienced my last Motley Crue show…ever.  And if you know me I was fully prepared to capture every single moment of it.

After sorting through somewhere around 400+ images (I kid you not) here’s 20 of my favorite.  All captured with my cellphone.

National Camera Day 2015

Happy National Camera Day! Truth be told, I’ve never heard of it until a post showed up in the Facebook feed this morning.
What better reason does one need to take some pictures.  Adam peeked inside my closet and came up with an idea for a photoshoot using my personal collection of vintage cameras.
Twenty nine images later…  Ironically, that’s the number of images we ended up with in the end. Read more here about this awesome day.

Quick and Easy DIY Flower Pots Using Crocs

Pull out that old pair of Crocs, from the closet, that you don’t wear anymore because I’m going to show you how to recycle them into flower pots.  An easy DIY that takes less than ten minutes from start to finish.
I scored this pair at a second hand store for $1.  Last week I planted some annuals into cement bricks and had four leftover plants.  This project will use up those four so that there’s no waste.
Supplies needed:
*tarp (easy clean-up)
*annuals
*pair of Crocs
*top soil
*twine or fishing line
Pack a nice amount of top soil in the toe portion of the shoe.  Place the annual inside the shoe and add some additional top soil around the top and sides to hold them in place.  Attach a piece of twine to the strap and tie it into a knot at the end.  Once you hang it up give the plants a good drink of water. Some dirt will seep through the holes of the shoes, but don’t worry about it.
Use the fishing line, in place of the twine, to create a floating effect.
Find a location in your flower garden to hang the new planters.  That’s it!
Mine have had a nice little home on these doors.  I adopted this vintage door display from my Mom and they already had the hooks, so I just needed something unique to hang there.
As you can see from the photo below the doors are definitely due for a fresh coat of paint.  Next year is what I tell myself.  It’s been five years and I keep saying that.  Although I kinda like the distressed look.
