About

me,barelyWhat are we about?  I wonder what our purpose is too.  We have art everywhere in our homes.  We’ve seen it all, made it all.  We would like to sell some, if anyone is buying.    We need more room to make more.  That is why we do it,  so we can make more.  We’re  artists.  We have to make, create, glue, glitter, snap pictures etc., or we will dry up into empty shells.  How sad.

This site is for showing my paintings & my photography, maybe tell a tale or two.  I am Amy Begun Saab.  Maggie Begun makes everything (including making Amy) & shoots Photography.  Maggie is MaBeArt.

Please spread us around

One of my favorite things to do is go into shops around Birmingham & find good designer’s & document their work.  I take non-cataloge type photographs.  I ask permission.  I get some amazing art this way & I get to share it with everyone.  This is still a personal blog & these are personal pictures, if the store benefits & I very pleased.  If a store requests me to come in & shoot for them for my site the charge is $175 dollars, that includes an hour or so of shooting, funny stories to share, a full day on cover of Blog & an a CD of every picture to use for advertising or whatever.  But If I ask you, the store,  I don’t charge anything.  Prints are available for a price, the largest I do is 9×12 for $25.

I am combining all my loves together & I hope its fun for everyone!

  1. Your latest posts didn’t come through properly – might be a wordpress problem – just thought I’d let you know.

  2. Amy, because I enjoy and admire your blog so much, I have nominated you for the ABC Award.
http://avian101.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/abc-award/ ‎. In order to accept this award, you must comply with the two rules. Then you may place the Award logo on your site. Please do not feel any pressure to accept this award, I understand if you do not wish to participate. But know your site is appreciated, and your blogging is interesting, your photos are beautiful! I enjoy reading your posts! Have a great day! H.J.

  3. I couldn’t get to the link for the abc award on your note. “item not found”

  4. Good day! If you get the chance, you have been given the VIBA (Very Inspiring Blogger Award). http://giddysap.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/chocolate-ganache-and-the-viba/

  5. Thanks for the follow. Really like your work and look forward to seeing more. — Rob

  6. Hi Amy – thank you for dropping by my blog and the follow…You have some cool work on your blog! :)

  7. Hi, I know you’ve been recognized with multiple awards, but I’m recognizing you again on my blog with the Sunshine Award. You can view the award at http://rcnormanphoto.com/2012/06/07/thanks-for-blogger-awards. No obligation to follow the silly rules — it’s the recognition that’s important. I wish you sweet light and magical moments. — Rob

    • Gosh,you are sweet. I have a billion question, but for now, just one. I posted a big thank you on my blog, am I to ask S. to link what I said as my thank you to your blog? My eyes won’t stay open—amy

  8. Hi Amy, thanks for your very generous post and reference to In My View on your blog. No need to link back. I just wanted to recognize you and let you know how much I enjoy your blog and photos. The rules for some of these awards can be quite taxing, and I’d rather you spend your time blogging or doing something else rather than trying to figure out award protocols :) Have a great day! — Rob

  9. Thank you for taking a look at my photos and I see you are now following me, I will reciprocate the complement and follow you… Like what I have seen already… Thank you…

  10. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for following us :)

  11. Every so often when I visit my Mum she will get a very loved box of old photos down from the attic and we’ll look through them together. Your blog reminds me of a box of loveliness, beautiful photos and cherished memories. Great job!

  12. Hi! Thank you for coming by my blog :) love your work here :)

  13. I’m glad to inform you that I nominated your blog to the Blog of the 2012 Year Award. Look here for details:

  14. Is Dirty Santa’s real name Andrew? I know a photographer friend of my son’s who goes by that name :)

  15. Thank you so much for stopping by Amy! Lovely blog, great art :)
    All the best, Anna

  16. THANKS for visiting my “pun-ny” photoblog and leaving a “like.” I can’t help hearing plants, animals, and objects “talk.”

  17. Hey thanks for the visit and follow, Hope you enjoy my blog, you have a great blog here.

  18. I know you have one already but I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award. Since discovering your blog recently it is the highlight of my day when I receive a new post. Your photographs are amazing. Thank you! (P.S. don’t feel you have to respond to the award, I’m sure you’ve done them all before!)

    • Thank you for the nomination, it means so much. When I have more of the same award, wordpress seem to remove it off after a few days. Unsure as to why they seem to have the right to do that. You compliment means so much. I am off to Vermont this morning, so I will not be posting until I return in a week or so. When I get back, look out I’m going to have a million new pictures! Thank you, amy

  19. what a beautiful wonderful blog you have, i enjoyed my visit. you are very talented.. ; )

  20. Thank you so much for dropping by my blog :)

  21. Just wanted to let you know that furrylittlegnome has linked you in her post for the Super Sweet Blogger Award.

  22. Hey thanks for the follow. “No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.” -Peace

  23. Thanks for dropping by on my meanderings – and your kind follow. It’s much appreciated!

  24. Thank you for visiting my blog and for following me. It made my day! Your blog is beautiful !

  25. The soul of an artist, writer, or creative person is infected with a “superbug!” It can neither be cured nor satisfied. We live with the need…that drive to create, and create again. I understand what you’ve said in this section. I am looking too, trying to create something which I like aa well as a segment of others.

    Thanks for following me. Give me feedback on anything. We are always looking to create…Skip

  26. ^ – ^ I know that you got the award , Amy , but I really want to send it to you – “THE VERY INSPIRING BLOGGER AWARD” can really speak out how I feel about this place of yours , and as my thanks for all of your sharings and care!

    Enjoy a beautiful Caturday, Amy !

    • Hi yinyin- Thank you so much for the award, but I already have the very inspiring blogger award & one time I posted two of the same awards & wordpress took one off!!! I did think I thanked you before & I thought I did take it & answer a few questions (am I going crazy??) Anyway, my daughter is trying to take my awards & make them all tiny so they can sit in a box. I found it distracting to have them so big on the side of all my pictures.
      Your photography is STUNNING! -amy

  27. A very nice site, Amy. Thank you for stopping by and following Rural Rhapsody, and for introducing me to your world here on WordPress. I will be adding you to the list of those I am following.

  32. Thanks for following! What an interesting art blog you have here, I will certainly take more time to explore! xox

  33. Hi and thanks for liking another one of my posts. I must say I always look forward to seeing a new post from you on Reader. Your images and style are instantly recognisable – I just see the image and know its one of yours. That is pretty cool in this generic world. Keep it up

    • Wow. That is an incredible compliment. Thank you so much.
      I photograph sweet compliments on my iPhone, so when I’m blue, I can just pull them up. I have to go find my phone…
      Thank you. -amy

  34. Great blog! I will definitely be sticking around to read more.

      Amy

    Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY !!! ~maria

    • Thank you, I just visited your blog, I’m usually find followers on my reader, but I never see you there. Are you on the reader? ~amy

      • My Pleasure! Yes, I should be in reader … hmmmm

      • Do you follow yourself? Thats how you get there.

      • Lol! No, I don’t follow myself. However, at times, I don’t see blogs on my reader. But I’m usually on my iPad so it’s not as friendly. Maybe you need to click follow a couple of times – almost like turning it on and off. Dunno… As my boys say, I’m turning into my mother (when it comes to technology) :)

      • iPad is not user- friendly with WordPress. I sometimes look at what I did, to check for mistakes are many, but for some odd reason, I’m not interested in checking. I guess I don’t mind looking like an idiot & figured most just hit “like” on my reader & move on. I follow myself so I can see how my stuff looks on my reader…~amy
