Clique Kits Guest Design Team Work

Hello All!  This month I have been a guest designer for Clique Kits.  I created some layouts that are featured on their blog.  You can see the Clique Kits post here.  Don't forget, that I've started a new blog, and you can subscribe via email for updates.  Here is the link for my new blog incase, you haven't checked it out.

Happy Scrapping!

My New Blog is Live!

Hello All!  I am excited to announce that my blog is now live!  You just have to click that sentence and it will take you to www.mariahhechler.com  There is a subscribe area for you if you wish to receive email updates of new posts. It will send an email when a new post goes live.  It's a little different from Feedburner which is what this blog uses.  You will have to click the link in the email to visit my blog.  I know that's less convenient than Feedburner but I couldn't get access to Feedburner.  Somehow, Wolfgang has become the main user of my Google account.

I will be posting a lot of fun things on there and I will be having guest bloggers.  So, if you have something you would like to blog about you can email me at mariahashbaugh@hotmail.com

I'm pretty excited about this new endeavor.  As always, this blog will stay here.  I hope to see you on my new platform!

Updates Coming Soon

Wow...It has been almost a year since my last post.  I have been taking a ton of photos and learning a lot of things over the past year.  I'm posting this to let you know that I will be moving over to Wordpress and starting a new blog.  I feel like I sort of out grew this blog.  I will keep this original blog here as long as Blogger will allow it.  My new blog will have a link to this one as well.

So, why am I creating a new blog you ask.  I feel Blogger is limited in the format I want.  I also feel like I'm moving more towards photos and storytelling rather than crafting.  Although, who knows I could decide to start that back up again. I feel like the domain name here limits me to well, crafting only.  I want to have a broader reach.  I want to be able to express myself through photography, crafts, stories, books, and cooking.  The other issue was that I was unable to create a blog on my photography website with my provider.  Also, I can't track analytics and things here because the default account somehow went to my son.

I am busy planning fun new things on my new blog as well as trying to figure out blogging.  It's been a few years since I developed my own blog.  I'm sure there have been revolutions in the website/blog industry, but really I don't know.  Apparently, Pinterest is a thing now.  I'm kidding... sort of.

Anyhow, I'm pretty excited.  I will keep you updated on here as to when the new blog goes live.  It should be very soon (August 1...or so).  I will also try and make sure there is an email subscribe thing so you can subscribe to receive posts.

As a reminder, I post to Instagram most often.  My handle is www.instagram.com/mhechler.  Oh and my new blog will be www.mariahhechler.com. Original I know.

Holy Hell

I want to know what actually happened to the time…because it's gone by so fast. These kids are getting big.  I love these photos I took today while the kids were flying kites in the back yard.

This is my favorite because their faces actually match the minion on the kite.  It makes me laugh.  And they actually look like brothers because there have been many years when they didn't look alike at all.  They look so much like Erik.  I love it.

Can someone explain how many ladders we need in this yard?

On top of all of this I have exciting news.  I'm a spotlight artist on this website. Also I have a local farmer wanting some of my photos for their website.  Who would of thought?  It's exciting and all part of my Project 365…who would have thought things like this could happen.  Anyhow, have a great day!

Getting Caught up on Project 365

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all have been well.  I haven't posted in a few weeks, but I've still been taking photos.  I've missed a couple of days but for the most part have been keeping up.  We've been busy around here and the fact that my main computer is a disaster makes it hard to keep up with posts.  Anyhow, here are the photos. They are not in any particular order.  If you want the particular order you can follow on Instagram. Ha

I've sort of become obsessed with the flowers in my yard.  I'm working on a series this week with them.  I hope to share them with you next Sunday.  I wish you all a great week.  

Weeks 11 and 12 of Project 365

Hello everyone!  I'm way behind on posts.  We went out of town for Spring Break so I wasn't able to upload photos while we were gone.  Since we were camping, I didn't necessarily follow the prompts either.  So, here are the photos for weeks 11 and 12.  I did miss some prompts or took extra photos for some of the days.  Also, they are out of order because my computer is a pain in the butt.

Have a great week!

Week 10 of Project 365

This post is a bit late because my computer is running slower than molasses.  I think it's time to replace it.  There are two problems: one the amount of money to buy the Mac I want, and two (most important) the huge pain in the ass it is going to be to move 50k photos, actions, programs, etc. to a new computer.  I put off editing the photos because it takes five hours to edit one photo.  Obviously, that's an exaggeration.  I shouldn't have put it off.  So without further ado, here are this last week's photos.

Have a good week!
