???????

Sometimes, as I visit my Typepad stats page, and realize that 1,318 people have looked at my blog today...it makes me curious. Curious of WHO you are...how you found me...but most of all, I wonder about YOU! I have visited some of your blogs (gals who have me on their blog roll), and I have loved what I've seen. In fact, today, I came across this super cute blog (my blog link is in their sidebar, so it showed up on my sitemeter) and found tons of fun ideas. I am curious...it sometimes feels like blogging is so one-sided...I post...you look, but I never get to "meet" most of you. So...if you have a free second, let me know who you are, how you found my blog, and share a link to your blog if you have one. I'm sure that many of my readers would like to visit your blogs as well (so leave a comment even if you are a common commentor on my blog)!

Likewise, a lot of creatives are going freelance because agencies don't want to pay account handlers / planners / project managers. Speaking to the person who does the work is appealing, hence the increasing number of tiny, new creative shops.

Hi Sherelle,
I just found your blog tonight through the Melissa Frances blog! I know your name as a SB designer but I had no idea that you have such a beautiful blog!
What a wonderful life you have...and yes, looks totally crazy and wonderful at the same time. Your kids are gorgeous and I'm amazed at the farm life. I'm not too familiar with that field so I'm looking forward to learning more!
And your pictures are gorgeous!!! I'll be visiting again :)

Hi,
I found your blog a few years ago, I think through a friend (christine) but I could be wrong. Anyways, I feel like I get heat from my friends and family for loving to do so many things and when I found your blog I melted. I felt so relieved and grateful to find others who find so much joy in photographing special sacred moments of their babies and taking the time to prepare and cook wonderful meals that bring the family closer, to experience and encourage talents, to push ourselves to learning and growing more and more because as mothers we learn, we really have no limits. I admire you not just because of your talents but because of your passion and your heart. From one busy mother.... who loves to spend her days in the kitchen and also stalking my babies childhoods away with my camera to another... thank you for taking the time to share your joy with all of us. I hope you may also find joy and inspiration from your fans as well.
and your darling gorgeous family does help! :)

Hi, Sherelle! I love to visit your blog. I can't believe the level of amazingness of your photography! What beautiful subjects you have, too. Each and every one. Your daily life is chronicled better than any magazine today. One of these days your blog will be too big for us small time visitors. You should publish a book of some sort. The energy abounds from your part of the world. Thanks for sharing! - Angela

[MNScrapbookmom - Kyra]

Hello Sherelle and family from the Minneapolis area. I have been reading your blog for a few years now. I found it by surfing - and I am not sure how someone could visit and not return as your blog is stuffed full of amazing things.
I come to your blog for inspiration, for the love of children, for photography and all the wonderful photos you take, for the love of vintage things (WHOA... I am in love with your new pink lamp that you bought), for the love of family and animals, and that you completely inspire me to do more each and everyday. It is such a privilege to see inside your world, and to know your family without you really knowing me at all.
Happy summer to you - and thank you for sharing your life.

[Kimi]

Hi, Sherelle. I loved your work when you were at the Scrap Coop and still love to see what you are up to--you are so amazing! Your kids are growing so fast! Thanks for sharing your talent.

[Julie Trout]

Hi Sherelle...

I honeslty don't remember how I found your blog....but now it is right at the top in my favorites list!

Your skills constantly amaze me on a weekly basis with all that you do with the kids, the farm, your photography, etc.....sometimes I feel guilty for complaining that I had too much to do for the day until I see all that you accomplished!

Have to say that your recipes are the greatest and thanks so much for sharing them! A lot of them have made their home permanently into our "keep" file of recipes we try out!

Can't wait to hear about your camera, lens, and any tips you can share.....I am slowly trying to learn to take better photos that capture every day life around here in our family of 8!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
Julie

Hi Sherelle,
I found your blog through my daughter, Sarah (Doodleblog). I enjoy all of the pictures of your kids and farm life. I used to live on a ranch in Eastern Oregon, as a girl. Now I live on 6 acres in the Willamette valley in Oregon. Love the vintage pix you and Shelby have been taking. What editing program do you use? I just started a blog in May, and have made reference to you a few times in it. Two of our grandchildren are living with us now, and the oldest is near Grace in age.She likes looking at the pictures of your kids and pets. She once asked me if when I posted a picture of her to my blog, if it would say "Sherelle Christensen" across it! :)
My blog is:http://onceuponadandelion.blogspot.com/

[jill]

I can't remember either... but I lived in northern Wyoming when I found it and your pics could have been taken from our town of 304! You captured the beauty I wish I could have! I've since moved to the big city of Mesa, Az but I still love looking at your amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing!

[Kelsy Propp]

He Sherelle,

[Jessica]

HI!!
I connect to you through Alicia King and/or Chris Russell! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your pictures! Those last vintage ones of you and your girl are AMAZING!!! What a beautiful family!
Just thought I would drop a hello too!

[Mary Leeson]

Bless you, Sherelle! Don't know how I found your blog but I remember you were posting about your potato fields and I loved it! The pictures of your rural surroundings are such a blessing to me...I love them. I grew up in the "country" and they bring such good memories. I love your photography and would LOVE to do the same kind of work but oh well. Your family is wonderful....beautiful kids! I can see how God continues to bless your family with such abundance...how wonderful! Thanks for blessing my life!!

[Melinda]

I found your blog from my sister. We are both huge fans. I love seeing pictures of the fun things you come up with to do with your kids. My husband loves your tinfoil dinner and cheesey potatoes recipes. They are our favorites! And I love how inspired I get everytime I check your blog!

[Margee" (Grandmom)]

Hi! I'm from Eastern WA and live in the rural county. One of my daughters showed me your blog over a year ago.
Your blog is so inspiring and I wish I could blog as well as you do!
Totally love your photos!Your Vintage photos were beautiful!Your recipes are awesome!
I comment sometimes, but mainly just read your blog!

[Connie Baird]

Hi Sherelle!
I always enjoy checking in to see what the family is up to. When I can't stand it any more I have to come down to visit. I loved your pictures of Mom before she passed away and we weren't in the country to be with her and our family. It meant so much to me! I love the pictures and recipes and a taste of home!
Love you all! Aunt Connie (from Montana)

[Lori]

I found you maybe on two peas in a bucket; just love your style; melissa francis shabby chic; and always take a peek every so often at what u are up too...

[Christy]

Hi Sherelle,
I found your blog recently while I was on the Melissa Frances blog. I LOVE your blog. Your photography is so amazing. I love all your tips on gardening and cooking. You inspire me to get my camera out and play. =)

[Chris]

Hi Sherelle,
I can't remember how I found your blog, but it was probably through a scrapbooking connection. I love your blog. I always wanted to live on a farm and be a stay-at-home mom, so I live vicariously through your blog:) You are so talented at everything you do, I get excited each time you post. You have given me so many great ideas. Thank you for keeping it up! I have a 3-year-old adopted daughter named Grace and blog about her here: www.gnightgracie.blogspot.com

[kiki]

I just recently found your blog, but can't seem to remember how! It's great and I LOVE your photography and the "feel" of your site. I've also just started blogging (about three months now) from my home in Northwestern Minnesota. Looking at taking the plunge and buying a new digital SLR. I'll explore some more to see if you've talked about your camera, but if not, what are you shooting with?

[Gina]

I have been following your blog since I found out you were blogging. I'm sure I found out through Two Peas or possibly Creating Keepsakes. You have always been one of my favorite scrapbookers. Even though I don't scrapbook much anymore I keep coming back for your beautiful pictures, your love for your family and your simple life. It is very appealing!! The vintage photos have been fabulous. Some of the ones of Shelby are to die for. She definately knows how to work the camera.

[Carrie]

Hi Sherelle! I have been following your blog for years and can not remember how I found you. Maybe 2peas? You are so inspiring! I love your photography, scrapbooking and envy your homemaking skills. I am a country girl at heart and would love to be able to garden, cook great homemade meals, etc. You are truly inspiring! Thank you!

[Tricia]

I found your blog 2 or more years ago. I think from a 2 peas link? not to sure. I love and look forward to all your posts, your photography, your amazing home and lovely farm life. thanks for sharing with us!

[Michelle M]

Hey there Sherelle,
I found you while surfing the Melissa Frances Blog. I'm a big fan of all things vintage and shabby and your blog fascinated me right from the start (and still does). You are 100% inspirational; you post the most beautiful photos, share wonderful recipes, and I love when you post digital pages. For all the blog hopping I do, NO ONE is quite like you. I look forward to reading your blog weekly. You are amazing! Thank you for being inspiring to me :)

I love the funky way you do your girls hair (I have two daughters a 7 yo and a 5 yo), were you ever a hairdresser? You manage to always make it look so perfect and neat! Love reading about your country life, your house/farm/gardens looks amazing! I wish we had soil like that here!

[Andrea Hamblin]

[Trudy]

Hey Sherelle! I ran across your blog way back when you had the "Coop" or something like that and was looking for inspiration. Needless to say, I'm still coming back because you provide SO MUCH!! I love your creativity, but I also love how you can balance it all (kids, house, husband, garden, etc), and still remain pleasant! :) It's a chore at times.

Thanks! Keep it coming!!

To tell you the truth I am not sure how I found your blog but I have been a fan for the past two years. I love the colors, the pictures, the recipes and everything else about it.

[amanda taylor]

hi! i found you through holly davis...and am absolutely in love with your farm pictures...it would be a dream to see it in real life - it's picturesque!! and i love your vintage photos with your sister...you look like you guys have so much fun, your garden is fabulous, and the slip-n-slide too!

[MaryRuth Francks]

I'm MaryRuth... found your blog through Hilary Shirley's blog... I grew up in Utah and now live in Texas... I want to live the country life soooo bad but don't know that I ever will get to.

Jealous and in awe of your farm/garden/talents.

please please please please sell your digital scrapbook recipes that you did about a year or so ago... I found your blog too late to be able to get one.

my blog is www.thefrancks.typepad.com... its lame right now as I'm on summer hiatus... but during the rest of the year I'm fairly good about updating.

Thanks for sharing your talents!

Love reading!

[Yvonne]

Hi Sherelle, I don't remember how I discovered your blog, but I absolutely love your photography and your recipes, I have linked you on my blog to share the goodness. I only get to stop by about once a week, but I am always amazed by your pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Yvonne in Florida

[Lou]

I've been reading your blog for so long, I can't remember how I came across it in the first place. I think it was linked from a scrapbooking site? Anyway, I just love all your photos and stories. I think my favorites are the retro-photo shoots you've been posting recently (just gorgeous!), and when you do the posts about farming/harvest. My boyfriend and I live in Miami, FL, but he grew up on a farm in Washington State (he moved to FL after college), so he really enjoys your farming related posts also. Thank you for sharing your life with your readers!

[Heather]

Hi, Sherelle! I have been reading your blog since "Scrap Coop". Which was the greatest store ever! My husband is also a farmer near Idaho Falls. I love farm live, however I don't have the grasp on it that you do! You are an inspiration in every way. I would really like to know your daily schedule. I think you must start your day at 4 am to get it all done. Thank you for sharing your life! heatherbarrie.blogspot.com

[Stephanie]

Hey Sherelle~ I'm not sure exactly how I found your blog. I think it may have been from Camille Roskelley's sidebar?? Not sure. Anyways, I've been following for a few months now and am totally in love with your photography! I've lived in PA with my husband and 4 kids for the past 6 years, but moved here from Rexburg.

[Laila]

I think I found you in some ones side bar and since I have visited regularly and love every minute. I am a stay at home mum to two cheeky chimps aged 2 and 4. My husband sometimes looks over my shoulder, sees all your kids and says "if other people can do it, why can't we have more?'. I don't think I could look after four kids as well as you do!

[Sha]

My name is Sha, I found your blog through Holly Davis's blog. I love looking at your photography and your great ideas. I am an Idaho girl myself, but I am living in Vernal, Utah right now. Love your blog and all your neat ideas. Thanks!!

[Heather Crawford]

Hey Sherelle..I found your blog through scrapbooking way back..maybe from a link from another blog? But I had seen your stuff in some of the mags, so I knew your name..Love all your photos and your beautiful kids!!

[Allison Drockelman]

Hi there! I think I stumbled upon you looking for scrapbooking stuff. Love to look at your blog, and I really love your recipes and homemaking ideas! You do so many neat things and really seem to have good values and morals - some things that are lacking these days ;o) I promise I am not looney tunes - just enjoy reading about you and your beautiful family!

[Jennifer Holmes]

Hello, and what a great idea to share! My name is Jennifer and I live in Washington State. I don't recall how I came across your blog, but I do enjoy visiting. Your photos are amazing! I think it's so fun to see how other people live and what makes them happy. My love is paper, as you can see on my blog at www.simpleflourishes.com. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

[Jessie]

Could you please share your peach raspberry pie recipe??? I've got peaches and strawberries ready to go... Oh and your broccolli cauliflower soup sounds so yummy it would be great if you'd share it too!!! Thanks Jessie

[heather shumway freestone]

Hi Sherelle. I went to High School with you. I am completely addicted to your blog. I miss the country life, and your blogs brings back memories of my childhood.

[Kim]

Hi there! Kim from Orange County, CA. Love this blog!

[Kristine]

Hi Sherelle!
Hmmm, how did I find your blog? Hard question to answer. I think it maybe was on the Melissa Frances blog. I linked immediately to your blog on my blog, because I FELL IN LOVE with your storytelling, photos, scrapbooking etc.
I visit you almost every day , but doesn't always leave a comment.
I'm amazed by your photos and how you edit them. You've inspired me to explore Photoshop even more, and I really adore the "old style" editing you do to your photos. And I loved it even more after you started wearing vintage clothes;)

So, who am I?! I'm Kristine, a 28 year old girl from Norway, living on a farm with my fiancee and our cat.
I do some freelance photography at my spare time, I love photoshop and I love to cardmake.
You can see my photos here and my blog with cards, photos etc can be seen here!

Thanks for inspiring me so much!
I wish you and your family a HAPPY WEEKEND!
Big hugs from Kristine in Norway

[TammyR]

Hi Sherelle-

I don't know how I found your blog! I must have seen it linked on someone's elses. But, I saved it to my favorites and check it regularly. I love your photographs and your kids are beyond adorable! I guess I like the happiness that I see in your blog. I love reading about the farm and looking at your scrapbooking posts. I live in Alabama, in a suburb, and long to live out on a large piece of land!

Thanks for sharing!

[Tami F.]

I can't remember how I stumbled upon your blog, but I've been a HUGE fan ever since!!! Your photography AMAZES me especially those beautiful children, all those cute animals, and that gorgeous farm. Born a city girl I seriously don't know how you do it all, but I realize it's your way of life and a passion. Thanks for always inspiring us and a BIG thanks for sharing the "Not Your Mama's Banana Pudding". It's been a family/party favorite since I first made it!!!

[Dianne]

Hi Sherelle-I've been following your blog for about a year now and finally started one of my own. I love looking at photos of your beautiful garden and those darling little kids of yours. Your vintage photos inspired me to do the same with my girls. Thanks-

[Michelle]

Hi Sherelle! I live in Kuna,Idaho.. Grew up in Moreland..... I believe I found your blog a couple of years ago possibly through Designer Digitals? I read it regularly. I love your Scrapping ideas, have tried several of your recipes and I love your photography! I love your recent vintage photo's! It makes me want to take my girls out and find some vintage clothes and take a bunch of pictures. I miss the rural life. I love keeping up with the farming, gardening, pets... etc through your blog.

[Sandy]

Hi there Sherelle! I'm a SAHM, military wife, and live in a small town in Oklahoma. I came across your blog through a link on a scrapbooking blog. Once I clicked on it--I was hooked. I could tell you had a heart of gold--so amazingly talented--yet so humble. It's fun to read your blog---there's always beautiful pictures and little tips--but mainly because you inspire---you inspire others to be a better mother and wife and at the same time..to enjoy the little things that bring you joy....like photography...baking...gardening. It's all about enjoying the journey, afterall! Wow...you must lose a lot of sleep eye with all that you accomplish in one day! LOL
Anyway, thanks so much for sharing pieces of you...you're awesome :)
Sandy

[Tami]

Hi Sherelle - I really can't remember how I came across your blog. It must of had to been from another scrapbook blog. I fell in love with the photos and kept coming back to see what you came up with next. I love photography myself and just opened up a portrait business this year. (Thank you for the inspiration!)
Here are my blogs

Hi Sherelle, no idea how I came across your blog- probably linked from another scrapbooking blog. Your girls were babies when I started readingand it's wonderful watching them grow. My 3 boys are 7,4,1. We live in suburban Philadelphia and I love to read about your lifestyle which is so different then mine but alike in some ways too. Thanks for sharing your family and your photos with us!

[Lindsey Martins]

Hi! I'm Lindsey from Topeka, KS. I came across your blog from Dawn McVey's. I always head to her blog for card making inspiration and now yours is on my list too. ;) Nice "meeting" you.

[Monica]

Hi Sherelle! I love reading your blog and love your photography! I live in California and feel like a country girl at heart though, so I really love seeing all the fun things you and your family are doing on your farm!! I found your blog on my friend Michelle Lanning's blog. I have a blog that I try to update but with a little one I have been lacking in new posts! Stop by sometime if you like! http://scrappy77.blogspot.com/

[Mindy Vail]

Hi Sherelle -- I have enjoyed the photos you post on your blog. I love photography, and I live in southern Idaho. My husbands family lives in Blackfoot up to Rexburg, so we come up that way ever now and then. I first remember seeing some of your work at the Scrap Coop. I found your blog through Christy Tomlinson's blog -- I took a class from her in Boise. I really love to see your pictures and get ideas. Your kids are beautiful.... You do a fabulous job with them.
my blog is http://mindyvail.blogspot.com/
and http://mvailphotography.blogspot.com/

I enjoy scrapbooking as well, and love your work. Love to read your blog!!

[SabrinaS]

Hi Sherelle! I have left comments here and there, but I don't comment regularly...sorry! I live in a rural town in eastern WA state. I have two little girls, Grace and Claire, and I'm expecting baby #3! I can't remember when I found your blog, but it was through scrapbooking I believe...later I found a link to my cousin Heidi's(Nielsen-from Shelley, ID)blog, so I think you might know her!
I have to tell you that you are someone I really wish I was more like! I can tell you work very hard to provide such a loving and fun place for your children to grow up. I grew up on a farm, and we live in a farming community, but right now we don't have any land, just a small yard! So, if you hear of any real estate for sale in your neck of the woods...let me know and I'll make my husband find a job in eastern ID instead of WA! hee hee We have lots of family in IF and Rexburg, so we visit there frequently.
I've been trying to teach myself photography, so I enjoy looking to your work for inspiration, as well as your recipes, hairstyles, scrapbooking,etc etc etc. Thanks for taking the time to share your life with so many. You really do inspire me to be a better mother.

Hi Sherelle,
I've been following you for about 4 yrs. I was home at the time with my 3rd lil' one and was blog surfing...came across your site through google I think via scrapbooking. We live in NYC so its refreshing to see farm life. My kids love the animal pics and the garden pics. WE love to plant our veggie garden every yr but are quite limited. Love your pictures and inspiration it brings! THANKS for Sharing!

Hi Sherelle - My name is Peg Parsons from Vicksburg, MI. I visit your blog every day, sometimes more than once a day...I am addicted!!!! Your family photos are just remarkable!!! I adore your down to earth lifestyle with all of the modern conveniences...lol I would love it if you could share/teach your photography techniques somehow...I just installed PS Elements 7 today and have soooo much to learn!!!
Thank you sooo much for everything you share with all of us - you are truly an inspiration and to be able to do half of what you do would be remarkable!!!!
If you are on facebook, I will look you up there - I do not have a blog :-(
Thanks & take care,

[Jessie]

Hi, my name is Jessie and I'm from Hyrum, UT. I came across your blog on a friends blog and loved the pictures I was seeing! So I started scrolling down and came across Cherilyn's wedding pictures and was like "hey I know her!" I'm April's cousin, my parents both grew up in Firth and after chatting with reletives I found out Kelli Robbins knows you as well (She's my aunt from my Dad's side) It's such a small world! Thanks for sharing your talents!!!

[Charlotte A.]

Hey! You were the VERY FIRST blog I ever found! It has opened a new world for me :D I love reading about your family and seeing the beautiful photos you take!!

[Laura]

Hi Sherelle,

I can't remember how I found your blog but I've been reading since you were expecting Kate. I love all your cooking, crafting, and homemaking tips and love your stories about your kids - especially since I am now the proud mommy to a 4 month old little girl. I am already dreaming about when I can fix her hair using some of your great styles and ideas! Thanks for sharing your life with all of us!

Blessings,
Laura

Hi Sherelle!

My name is Kim. I'm 28 and live in Gardner, KS. I have no idea how I found your blog. One day (or probably over the course of a few days), I started with one blog and just hopped and hopped until I came up with a list of about 50 blogs on my Google Reader that I subscribed to!

Your blog caught my eye because of your pictures! I love your photography style. I also love your love for your family and the ambition that you have! I mean...you do a lot and it's motivation to me to do a lot more in my life too!

I have 2 blogs: www.rydenkim.blogspot.com and www.therydenfamily.blogspot.com.

Hope you have a great day!

Hi Sherelle

Hi my name is Eileen and I live in Scotland. I found your blog by blog hopping. I just got into scrapbooking around two years ago and I was so pleased when I found your blog.........it's great and you are so talented. Your family are just beautiful and it's great how you all share and get together and do so much. I check your blog everyday and it's the first one I type in......I don't have blog. I told all the girls at our local craft about your blog and they love it to........so cheers and all the very best to you and your family.

I can't remember how I found your blog, but I have been reading it for a long time now. I have family in Idaho and love to see the photos of the farm. I also read most of my blogs through google reader.

Hi Sherelle! I too am a long time lurker here. I love your blog! I can't even remember how I found you, but I was hooked instantly. I love your photography, your crafts, your recipes ( I have made several!) I often dream about a country life - on a ranch - far from the hustle & bustle of suburbia! I live in the beautiful horse country of central Kentucky and I love seeing glimpses of life in your neck of the woods! I too will try to comment more so that our "relationship" isn't so onesided! Off to chauffeur kids - story of my life! Have a great weekend!

Hi Sherelle. Like so many others I never comment and I can't remember how I found your blog. :) But...I am so glad that I did! I am from Oklahoma and live on a ranch. I love that my kids get to grow up in the country. The thing I love the most about your blog is the things we have in common (my son and daughter have been riding on tractors with their daddy since they were babies) and the things that are different (I wish I were a stay at home mom). You just seem like you have a real sweet spirit and a great appreciation for all of your family. That is very refreshing. So, If you don't mind I would love to continue to be a lurker.:) and I'll even try to leave a comment on occasion.

I found your blog through Hilary S. who I believe you know in real life. I love your photography and seeing life on the farm. And I find we have the same taste in kids' clothes!

[Leigh Ann Jones]

Hello there! Cant remember exactly HOW I wandered upon your blog, but I absolutely love your photography! I live in central MS so the landscapes from your area are just SO DIFFERENT from the pine trees and red clay that I see everyday! Not to mention your family is just adorable! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

[Stacey Kingman]

I read your blog! I love the photos and recipes... and I have wondered what you do with your zinnias. Are they just for cut flowers? Do you sell them or the seeds? Are they just for "pretty" in your garden? Zinnias are my favorite flower. :)

Hi Sherelle ! I am from New Hampshire. I don't remember how I found your blog (maybe 2peas or looking for shabby chic ideas), but yours is one of the most interesting I read. I love seeing your photography and scrapbooking. I also find it interesting to read about your life on the farm because it is different than our life in a small city.

Hey Sherelle! I give a shout out from the central Oregon Coast in a tiny oceanside town called Waldport, it means, where the ocean meets the sea and that is the literal truth! I actually posted a comment to you the other day! I have been reading your blog for probably close to 6 months. I found you through the Melissa Francis Website because I had noticed these awesome rubons on the cards and began to look around for them on her website and figured out that they were called Sherelles Rubons and so, went to your site. I was attracted right away to the fact that you reside in Idaho as did I and so love the great state! Anyway, love the photos, you have a lovely family and a beautiful little sister.

[Nichole]

Hi Sherelle,
I found your blog a while back though Camille Roskelley's blog (if I remember correctly?). My main passion is quilting, but I also have a great love of photography, baking, and gardening so your blog is right up my alley! I love seeing your photos and your cute kids. I also love seeing the cute hair styles you come up with for your girls. I live in Iowa and have 4 kids also. I don't have a blog, but just wanted to introduce myself. Thanks for sharing your life here and for some great ideas and inspiration. For me, reading the blog of a like-minded person gives me sparks of creativity, new ideas, and fun things to try.

Hi Sherelle,
I just found your blog last week, but I love your photos so immediately added you to my blog reader. I love scrapbooking and always feel like my photos are lacking so maybe I can learn a little from you.
I live Regina, Sk Canada and my blog (which is nothing much at all) is www.joannslittlethings.blogspot.com

[Missy]

Hello Sherelle,
I've been reading your blog for forever. Sorry I don't comment more often! You are incredibly inspiring to me.
I just moved to Provo lat year, but previously I lived in Rexburg (worked in IF) and would shop at Scrap Coop all the time. I miss that store, I get why you gave it up though. I know we've met a few times, but I don't know if you would remember me.
Thanks for your cute blog! Love it!!!
xo,
Missy

Good Morning Sherelle :)
I found your blog while looking at Melissa Frances' blog and instantly fell in love.
I live outside of Kansas City MO and have 3 children, Roman-3, Mia-5, and Koby-7.
I just started taking photography classes and am in awe of your skills. Your photos just evoke happiness and simple things that more people should go back to. Feel free to stop by my blog anytime!

Hi Sherelle,

I've been reading your blog for about a year now but I can't remember how I found you. I'm not a scrapbooker but I love seeing the things you sew, cook but most of all the beautiful photographs of you and your family on your farm. I live in Louisville, Kentucky and work full time for a commercial real estate developer. I'm married to a wonderful man and we have two sons. My oldest is married and he and his wife are giving me my first grandchild in January. I'm sooo excited!! My youngest is starting his freshman year of college this year at the University of Louisville. I don't have a blog but I'm thinking of maybe starting one. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know! p.s. We don't yet know if we'll be having a grandson or a granddaughter. If it turns out to be a granddaughter, I would love for you to tell me how you made your girls those adorable doll quilts so I can make one too!

Hi Sherelle!
I found your blog about 6 months ago through Dawn McVey's list and have read your posts ever since! I am from Southern Alberta, Canada and although I do not live on a farm, I am surrounded by them since I live in the Prairies and am so inspired by your life! I love "checking in" on your family and your photographs and hope to one day be as talented a photographer as you!

Thanks so much for all your posts!!
