My laptop is very dear to me. I call it my toolbox. Since it’s from the Toughbook series, it is built to withstand drops, spills, and other toddler mistreatment. It also has a cool handle for easy grabbing. Inside, it holds everything that allows me to work from home. Everything I need to edit photos, design graphics and sites, set up auctions, write, and network with companies. With the current economy, the start of a new year, and me leaving the blog that was our main source of income, things have started to slow down. It is my hope that I can generate some consistent income with my toolbox. Inside it holds a lot of hope.

I’m participating in a weekly concept photography challenge started by my friend, Michelle. Last week’s challenge was HOPE. Next week’s is ALIVE. To learn how you can join us in the Popinjay challenge, visit michellependergrass.com.
