Being Brooke

EDITOR'S NOTE: A little over a year ago, I won an International Inspirational Video Contest for the Mormon church. It was an awesome and growing experience to share Brooke's story with the world, and now I want to share it with you. (Ya know, in case you weren't already impressed enough.)

At the Neighbor's

My sister, Julie, awe-inspiring interior design blogger and DIY enthusiast--invited me to guest post over at "her place" today, while she is out for the week running a girl's camp somewhere in the hills of Utah. Needless to say, I took the opportunity of being featured on her wildly successful blog and ran with it! I knew I had to keep her readers happy and somehow intertwine DoublClik into something relevant for a home how-to blog. At first I thought, I can show them how to test paint colors on walls through Photoshop. *...crickets.* With little time left to get the HTML over to her, I started looking through files I already had. And then it clicked. I saw all the fabulous houses I have had the privilege of shooting in scrolling before my eyes! *sigh* Getting the idea is the hardest part. In 2 hours I had it laid out, and it went live today.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Julie makes lamp shades from dying fabric in her kitchen sink...and does wall-sized chalkboard drawings...and makes light fixtures out of yarn...and knows how to tastefully paint pillows. She will blow your mind. 

Andrea for Fernweh

I found Fernweh Online Magazine about a month ago. I was intrigued by their minty titles, picturesque layouts, and that they wrote about whatever was trendy, sweet, and perfect. Their posts were delicious. The "staff" comprises of 4 go-getter girls who are all between the ages of 17-21. They are travelers, artists, designers, photographers, and writers. It's like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants but so much cooler. I noticed several reader and guest posts on the blog, and inquired about writing for the photography portion of the site. They asked for a sample of writing and a few pictures to be reviewed. I just love being "reviewed." 2 weeks later I was given the green light and I curated a post of my favorite story teller editorials. (Really, did you expect anything else?) It went live last Saturday and I was happy for the opportunity. And the comments. And the exposure. 

Without further ado!
