Flash Cards

So, I've been playing WAY too much today.  The kids are totally engrossed in Christmas movies.  They've gone from Frosty the Snowman to now Polar Express.  It's always a hit that first time they watch it each year.  So, rather than edit pictures, clean house, sew, or do anything that is way higher on the priority list... I sit here playing.  There are new Luxe cards available in cute circular shapes and with scalloped edges.  I have been dying over them and had to play with them a little.  I will be making and ordering my Christmas cards this week and I'm having a hard time deciding on which to go with... a folded card  (like last year which gives me more picture opportunities) or a flat card (only front and back) like these.  I just love the fun shapes... don't you?

In case you're wondering I will be expanding my photography business to include "Flash Cards" for those of you interested in my designs.  I will keep you posted.  It may not get off the ground this year, but next year you'll have lots of cards to choose from, just you wait!!!   In the meantime, look for my Christmas card.  I will be sending out lots of Christmas Cheer (hint hint).

Wright family

I am sorry, I've gotten behind with my posts.  I have quite a few to catch up on.  I've been sewing my heart out and rather than sitting in front of a computer, I've been sitting in front of my sewing machine.  I have bunk beds coming for my girls next week and so I've been working on making their bedding and dressing up their room a bit.  My poor little three year old is still sleeping in her bothers room cause that's where the broken crib fits (YES, I said broken).  So, I'm trying to make it up to her by making her duvet cover with lots of yellow in it (her favorite color).  So for now, here's something...

Talk about a darling little family.  I adore the mom and happen to think there could not have been a better Kindergarten teacher for my daughter!  She handled her and all her quarks and passion quite well.  I am grateful for sure!
Here are just a few...

 

My new favorite picture!

School Auction {Family Photo Session}

This family was the lucky winner of the Family Photo session auctioned off at my daughters school carnival.  The money raised at the auction all goes towards the school.  The carnival raised over 9K this year, more than any other year.  Something to be proud of I think!  Thank you J for your contribution.  I am thankful as I'm sure our school is as well.  Now onto your pictures...

After a few pictures, brother found a lady bug.  Could she be any cuter?  I love it!

 

My guy is five!

Okay, so it's been over a month since his birthday and I haven't gotten around to doing his pictures just yet.  Knowing I have three shoots this coming week, AND my daughters birthday, I thought I'd try and squeeze it in today.  With the weather overcast, I thought I had my chance.  It would allow me to get them done earlier in the day.  So, after a great work out at the gym I came home with great ideas and ready to go.  I got him dressed and headed out.  I found myself bribing him all the way there!  

UGGGgghhhhh... moments before pulling in, BAM I got hit with a migraine and the lights began to flash and I couldn't see out of one eye.  NOOOOooooo... I wanted to cry.  The longer I waited the worse my sight would get until the symptoms passed completely and who knows how long that would be.  So, I told him "Mommy's getting a migraine and can't see very well so we have to take a couple REALLY fast, okay?"  He began to cry.  He said, "look at me Mommy, can you see me?"  I did my best to hurry the concern away and let him know I'd be fine.  I'm sure my anxiousness was obvious, and all that bribery went out the window.  He was upset and I didn't have the time to waste.  SERIOUSLY?  WHY?  So, here's one of about ten clicks.  I had to post one!  He's my sweet little buddy and I can hardly believe he's FIVE!!!!  So stay tuned for more to come of my guy.  Could he be any cuter???  I LOVE HIM!

It's raining today and so she insisted on a hoodie!

Happy Monday

This makes me smile...  It's my sweet little girl (getting big way too fast might I add) and I adore her!
