Cari’s photography challenge Theme Thursday is all about piles this week. Wow, if that word does not describe my house, I don’t know what does. Piles of laundry. Piles of mail. Piles of dirty dishes. Piles of messy toys, the bane of my existence. However, Theme Thursday is supposed to be fun and those photos would be a little depressing to photograph without a cool “after” photo to go with it. Instead, I looked for piles of things in each room that weren’t necessarily messy. (I also tried to add red to most of them.) Here’s what I found.
In the Kitchen
I had fresh baked cookies so I piled them up with a cup of coffee.

(UPDATE: Please see the P.S. photo below for clarification about the neat house I keep.)

On the dresser is a pile of my Lenten aids.

In the Bathroom
On the bathroom counter is a pile of my paper bead bracelets from Uganda.
(I think this was my favorite shot. I love the colors. :-))
A big thanks to Cari for hosting another fun theme!
UPDATE: PS – I had to laugh when I read the comment from Christie @ Everything to Someone. She said, ” Your piles are so straight and pretty, and I don’t detect any clutter in the peripherals! I am duly impressed (I can’t say the same for myself!)” Well, it’s all how you position the camera…not to mention using your arm or your foot to make a clean sweep on the junk before you take the photo. Need proof? Here is the same counter from the first photo with the cookies. If I moved the camera over a little you would have seen all this too!
So there you go. The unairbrushed version. 😉
