TOMORROW is it!

Tomorrow ( Tuesday ) is the very last day to order prints for Christmas
and is also the last day that the Cottage Christmas Digital Files will be
available for 75.00 rather that 150.00. If you had a session in 2009 other than
a Cottage Christmas Session and want your files, they are 100.00
THIS ENDS TOMORROW.

GET PRINT ORDERS IN NOW! AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT DIGITAL
FILES FROM YOUR SESSION. LAST CHANCE!!

Monday Monday

Today I was working from home. Yea right.
All was good until my dentist :( I hate taking the time out to go to the Dentist.
More than the actually procedure, I hate taking the time to go. Anyway, so I
get there AND it's xray time. Fabo. I am in a hurry + another $95.00 Score!
Go Monday. THEN... They are talking in Dental talk... and I have a cavity.
Lovely. One more trip and no telling how much that will cost. So I leave with a
hurting mouth. Then my blinker goes out. Great. One more thing. Tomorrow
my car is going to be in the shop anyway, I have a gazillion orders coming daily to pkg
up, last minute orders to place, MY Christmas cards to get out.... AND wanna
hear the good one? I have not done ANY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
Get a call today for a last minute maternity tomorrow, sure I can do that. :)
Tonight I have a Christmas party. Tomorrow @ the studio all day for 2 sessions
and all that other stuff that is behind the scenes. So after all that, running errends,
dropping some stuff off @ the school, emails, ect... I feel like I have done nothing
today. My house is still a birthday mess, but who cares... It will all get done. Right?!

This picture makes me happy :) I hope that your Monday was full of excitement!
"Bring it" Tuesday!

Can you imagine me + 4 moms + 7 kids... AND trying to get their attention? I hope
great grandma loves these :)

To My Daughter

Laykin~
I can not believe that you are 7 today. It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing
you home. You were such a good baby and are still an easy child. You listen when it is really important, you always take my advice, you make me so proud. You are sweet, kind and thoughful. You are beautiful, silly and fun. Although I am sad that you are growing up, I am also excited to see you grow and discover the person that you will become. I love you baby girl.
You are my world.

Random Wednesday

1) Last Day to order prints is DEC 15th!

2) Check this out! I am SO doing this with Laykin this year.
I will post it when we do~
If you have any great holiday crafty ideas, I would love to hear.

3) my tree: just a snapshot



I have one up @ the studio too. I need to snap a pic of it. I love it. Silvers and Blacks. ohhlala

4) You are all gonna think i am CA-Razy but Valentine Kid Sessions are going to be taking place
the week of Jan 18th Complete with Vday cards :) One week and just a couple sessions
a day. Let me know if you would like to book one of those sessions. I will be working on that
and getting pics up over Christmas.


5) I am so excited about some new products that I am expecting in today!!! I will share them
asap. And really excited about all the things up my sleeves for 2010.
Just wait :)


6) Valentine Boudoirs: Just a few open spots. I decided to do 2 packages to that it
better fits your needs.



7) This morning as we were driving to school and Laykin is reading a book about frogs
and tadpoles, it goes something like this.... " the tadpoles and the frogs ect... (don't know
how the book goes).... and she is reading.... and then in a high pitched little girlie voice it
goes from "tadpole to TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY." It was so cute and funny.
She was either way over excited at that very moment OR had just realized that tomorrow
was her bday. So cute! We laughed :)

8) The other night I was laying in bed with Laykin, we just lay there and talk sometimes...
and she says "I just can't love you enough" OH MY GOSH. I didn't know whether to cry
or hug her or be proud of how thoughtful she always is. So I did all of those things.
oh how I love this girl~

9) Kevin's Band (Friday Eve) is playing @ the Royal 66 this weekend. Both Friday AND
Saturday night... so being the awesome wife that I am ;) ... Thought I would spread the
word. PLUS I have been talked into taking photos of them while preforming... Man, I am nice.

10) SENIORS : it is time to start booking Spring Sessions. PLEASE don't wait until
the end of April to book!! Please.... :)

I think that is it guys! Off to package a gazillion prints.

One Last Call...
