Hello Friends!

My name is Sandy! I'm a happily married mom of 3! Brian (22 years old), Jacey -(who is 6 years old)...and Jadyn (3.5 years old!)

My hubby is Jace- my best friend & soul mate! I adore my family and LOVE being able to stay at home. I feel so blessed and lucky! :D

We live in North Dakota as of February 2007, and love it here. It's a great (and beautiful) place to live!

I have lots of hobbies, which include web-design, graphics & blogging, but my #1 passion is photography, as I ALWAYS have my camera on hand!

I also enjoy baking, thrift shopping, blogging and being outside!

If you are interested in using any of my photos, PLEASE ask first. Only my nature photography, and pictures that are not private and/or of my family will be considered. (A LOT of my pics are F&F only!) Please do not use ANY of my photos without my permission. Thank you!

ON A SIDE NOTE:
Please do NOT add me as a contact if you have NO photos available for me to see. What is the point? You can see my photos, but I can't see yours? I DON'T think so! Also, please don't add me as a contact just for the heck of it. If you have no intention of EVER commenting on my photos, then please just don't add me. I don't add contacts just to have contacts.

The same goes with adding my photos as favorites. If you have no profile, and no photos, don't favorite mine. Especially if you're a member of some tasteless, questionable, perverted groups!!

Thanks! ;-)

This is (funny enough) probably my most popular photo, with the most views, seen in EXPLORE!

This is my cat, Frostbite, who is a real CHEESE addict. Where there is cheese, there is Frostbite! lol

"Sandy and I have never met. At least not in person. As a matter a fact we live states away from each other. We met a few years back because we both love journaling (blogging) and I have admired her ever since.

Throughout the years Sandy has shared many of her photographs with me. Mostly those of her beautiful daughter, and I am left in awe at her talent at capturing her daughter in just the right light, and at just the right moment. She has inspired me to learn a bit more about photography and give a shot at it myself. I now have a daughter of my own who is 4 months old, and I would love to have the wonderful memories of her that only photographs can provide.
Sandy has also shared other photos with me but my favorites remain her black and whites, the photographs of herself, and those of her little girl.

Darlin', you are one of thos people I know I would be wonderful friends with and we would have a great time hanging out if we only lived closer, but since we don't, I will continue to enjoy your company online and through the art of your photography and your kind heart.

Many hugs to you my friend!
Adriana"

"Thank you for sharing your photos.
They remind me of the good old days when I went to St. John University (Collegeville, Minnesota). Near Dakota.
I visited your state few times during the '60.
Keep up the good work."
