About the Extraordinary Adventures

About Me

My name is Riley, and I am an amateur designer, writer, baker, and crafter. I am currently a resident of the United States, and a co-owner of a Yorkie-something mix named Tucker.

I enjoy creating things, reading fairytales, wearing church dresses, bicycling, and food.



About my Blog

This blog is dedicated to chronicling the not-so-average things that happen in the course of my life, which may or may not include:
  • books I'm reading
  • trips to places I do not live
  • foods I ate
  • things I bought/ found/ ordered off the internet
  • things I wish I'd bought/ found/ ordered off the internet
  • things I've made (baked or otherwise)

About the Photography

I use a (now fairly outdated) standard point-and-shoot for most of the photographs I post on this blog. I never use flash and always use macro mode. When I'm not using the "little camera," I also use a Canon Rebel T3i with a polarizing lens.

All photographs shared on this blog are mine unless otherwise stated or linked to the owner (normally marked by "c/o" at the bottom of the post). If you wish to share one, please source it back to this blog.

About the Design


My Header: 

My header was designed by me in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4, using "Carrington" and "Claudia Jean" fonts, thanks to Fonts for Peas. 

My Background:

I designed my background (entitled "Red") by myself, using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4. The widget dividers were derived from this design, but edited using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.
