Aimee Ray's Free Art!

I received free art from Aimee Ray this week and I LOVE it!!!! I have shown other work by Aimee before (see my post on the tote bag).   Seriously, if you haven't taken time yet to check out Aimee's work, PLEASE do so!  If you just want to get a feel of her style first, you can request your own FREE art by going to: http://www.littledeartracks.blogspot.com/p/free-art.html!  There is also a link to donate to her free art project to help cover the cost of postage.  

Or if you are already in love with everything she does (like I am!) then you can buy her work at: www.littledear.etsy.com or buy her books on Amazon. You can follow her on instagram at: https://instagram.com/aimee0ray/.  You can also follow her blog at: www.littledeartracks.blogspot.com and see more work on her website: aimeeray.com.  That is a lot of links, and I really hope that you click on at least one of them to see what Aimee creates!  :)

Tarcil likes Aimee's work that now resides on my desk.  :)

Tarcil and Penny

I think a friendship between Tarcil and Penny is possible.  Unfortunately, Penny is still usually quite jumpy and scared around Tarcil.  But the are pretty dang adorable together!!  :)

Model

Tarcil was modeling for me!  He was showing off all the different ways he looks cute, which let me tell you, is a whole lot!   :)

Rock Garden

There are big rocks in our "garden" and I thought with this beautiful weather, Tarcil should explore something new.  He really enjoyed this rock.  :)

No Thanks!

Tarcil and Penny are starting to get along much better, but Penny always seems confused as to what Tarcil is.  So, like most cats, she sniffed Tarcil's rear end.  He was a little surprised by this.  Haha  :)

Pansies

My mom loves buying me flowers.  :)  She bought these pansies for me too.  :)  Tarcil loves seeing and sniffing anything that is found in nature.  :)

Daisy

My mommy bought me this cute little flower pot full of daises.  :)

Post #200

I can't believe that I had this blog long enough already to have 200 posts!  I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to share my love of pictures and my love of animals with you all!  I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed every single post on here!  And maybe you could take the time to catch up on any that you may have missed!  :)

Thanks for the kind words and the support!  :)

Mailbox

There appears to be something in our mailbox!  Hahaha  :)

Outside Window Ledge

As we are getting closer to summer weather here, I have let Tarcil see more of the outdoors.  He was a little timid.  But he is still so cute!   :)

National Photograph Month

May is National Photograph Month!  As a photographer, I am sure you all know that I have LOTS of photographs!  These are some of the most recent prints I got of pictures I have taken.  I am loaning the set of flower photographs to my sister to decorate her house with, since I don't currently have wall space in my own house.  :)

If you are interested in purchasing any prints of these photographs for your own walls, you can find them on my website: www.rachelwilhelmphotography.com.  :)

Prize Basket

I am in charge of games and prizes for my friend's bridal shower tomorrow so I made up a basket of chocolates, candles, and lotions.  Tarcil thought he could sneak in as well.  Silly hamster.  :)

National Chocolate Chip Day

So I have no idea if National Chocolate Chip Day is a real thing or not, but I saw it online somewhere.  Tarcil wanted you all to see how many bags of chocolate chips I keep available in my house at any given moment.  If you can't tell, it's a lot...  Haha.  What can I say?  I love baking.  :)

Rock Wall

We have a wall made of rocks in our livingroom.  I finally decided that maybe Tarcil would want to see what rock wall climbing is all about.  I am pretty sure he hated it.  Poor little guy.  :(  But hey, he never fell, so I suppose it could have been a worse experience for him.  Hahaha!  :)

Instagram

Tarcil has discovered Instagram!  He decided to post a selfie.  :)

You can follow Tarcil and I on IG at rachel.wilhelm.photography  :)

Snuggle Buddy!

I love snuggling with this little fur ball!! :)

Bowl

Sometimes I just can't resist stuffing Tarcil in a bowl and taking pictures.  He didn't seem to mind at all .  :)

Happy Mother's Day!

I know that today isn't actually Mother's Day yet, but I won't be posting tomorrow, and I wanted to show some love to my mommy today!  My mom LOVES anything that is Thomas Kinkade so I always do what I can to give her something that has some of his beautiful artwork on it.  :)

I love you Mommy!!  :)

Bunny

So... we have SO MANY little bunnies in our yard.  Haha!  They are adorable!!  Obviously I can't introduce Tarcil to them (for so many reasons... hahaha), but I can show him this cute little figurine.  :)

National Day of Prayer

Today is National Day of Prayer!  I hope that you all know the meaning and importance of prayer, and that your lives are truly blessed from the relationship you have through prayer with Jesus.  :)  

I have been going through this 40 day devotional on prayer written by John Devries.  This is a wonderful book that I highly recommend!  :)

National Teacher's Day

Happy National Teacher's Day to all of the teachers out there!  I don't think any of you ever get as much thanks and appreciation as you deserve, but I hope that at least today, you all feel loved. 

Tarcil and I specifically want to thank my wonderful husband for his hard work and dedication to his students!  We love you!  :)

Yoda

I know that yesterday is considered Star Wars Day, but some people refer to today as Revenge of the Fifth.  And we could all use Yoda on our side to vanquish foes.  :)

R2D2

Today is Star Wars Day!!  Tarcil decided to join the rebels in his R2D2 disguise.  :)

May the Fourth be with you!  :)

Yes??!?!

Tarcil popped out of his home this morning to say Happy Birthday to my brother!  :)

Actually that is the look he gave me when he caught me spying on him.  Hahahaha  :)

May Day

May is here already!  I can't believe how quickly this year is going by!  May 1st is traditionally called May Day.  I don't think that this is day is really celebrated much in the United States.  But if I am wrong, let me know how you celebrate it!  :)
