You know your a blogger when:
1. You start eyeing things like this up, wondering how they'd look in white, black or rust. Because they've taken up full time residency in your living room after all.
2. You start taking pics of things at their very worst and actually feel pretty darn good about it!
3. You mentally AND physically cringe when you show a finished room that isn't done in your funky eclectic style. Even if it IS just the travel trailer for crying out loud.
4. You take self portraits of yourself.
4a) All your self portraits either have your camera in view, or
b) you take nonsense videos of yourself doing nonsense things because it blends with a nonsense theme or...
4c) You just let your iMac do all the work for you.
(sorry, I couldn't find a picture of myself with that ARM OUTSTRETCHED thing but it's on my to do list)
5. Your garden gets watered before you take a photo shoot of it so your soil looks ultra healthy and organic and everything else it's probably not.
6. Anything, and by that I mean ANYTHING appears to be a good photo opportunity.
7. A simple getaway is never ever a simple getaway event ever ever again. 90% of that 'vacation time' is spent doing a photo shoot for.. you know...
8. Your rust photos make you all giggly because you know you'll get your viewers to get all giggly over your rust photo shoot. Reality check... have we forgotten how this giggly induced gunk is formed?!?
9. a) Just setting up the pool is not enough. No no no. Spend at LEAST a WEEK on this. Do it up right! Your project deserves....
9b) ... ANOTHER 5 projects attached... (with photo shoots)
9c) ... why.. even give it a NAME and have others do the same stint right along with you so you aren't alone in your... whatever you call what we do.
9d) And painfully colour coordinate the whole deal to the last petal falling on the sidewalk. Nice natural touch, eh?
9e) ... and prop stuff to and fro as if nature simply graced it's magic spell and dropped these soon to die waterless flowers in their perfect new home for keeps. Bliss! Bet you wish you were there right now don't you?
10. Well, things look different now. The flowers are now a perfect tone of sunburned coffee. BUT don't you dare despair!!!
For now they are the most beautiful shade for that shabby chic environment you've been dying to blog about.
11. And let's not forget, you've done AT LEAST one burlap project by now because everyone else has been using it. And you didn't even know you LIKED burlap.
Let's just mull this over for a moment. It's scratchy, and won't wash worth a hoot because if you do it turns into...
... a dog saddle blanket or...
... a George Washington cat wig.
12. You heckle when you look at some of your first blog posts ever and wonder why on EARTH you didn't realize how dark and fuzzy the photos were. (and remember those nearly 90% angles that made you feel like you were sliding off the planet earth?)
13. You actually FLAUNT that you shop in places like this. And FLAUNT when you land stuff like this for free. (imagine... garbage for free) But now it's a total mission to build stuff for free, out of found free stuff, never to have to cough up a dollar again. Pure sickness.
14. You own a brand new roll of bead board wallpaper, even though you detest wallpaper. And it's still in the wrapper for that very reason. Ah well, at least it's a nice prop for a photo shoot, right?
#15. You take about 80 pictures to get one picture like this amazing stunning perfect shot, but it takes you an entire week to clean up the after shock trail behind the camera. (And barely out of camera range. BARELY.)
Please know, I'm totally taunting myself. But in case I'm wrong, I'd hate to go hogging all the good ideas... got any others? :)
