*** I apparently wrote this post sometime last week and then forgot to put it up!  Sometimes I don’t know where my brain is!*** 

This past weekend I was excited to participate in the Virginia Women’s Show!  It meant a lot of preparation in a very short amount of time, but with the help of my wonderful friend Lisa, we pulled it off.  In the rush and chaos, I completely forgot the camera!!!  I am kicking myself!  I wanted to share my booth but also wanted to document the process so I would know what to change or keep the same the next time!  Oh well!  

It was a great day with lots of women and lots of things that interest women!  With around 4,000 women over the course of the day, we were busy!  Lisa and I looked at our watches about 2:30 and were amazed that the day had just flown by! 

I am excited to say that I have a winner for the free album contest!  I mixed up the bowl good and then had my husband draw the name!  I can’t announce it yet as I must get in touch with them first, but when I do, I’ll make another post!  I can’t wait to do the session and then design the album!  I love doing albums!  I need to get some pictures of the albums I have done up here for all to see!  They are really amazing and a very different way to display your pictures! 

 That’s all for now, keep looking back for a wonderful session from just after Christmas with a family that came together over the holidays for the first time in over 10 years!  It was a joy!

Blessings!

I LOVE Christmas music!!!  Really LOVE it!  I have been collecting it for years.  I have somewhere around 48 hours of continuous music with no repeats!  I know, it’s a little crazy, but I just love putting it on in the morning and leaving it playing all day!  It just feels good!  So, every year, Jeryl and I have a hard time figuring out how to play all the music.  At first we just popped the Cd’s in the player one at a time.  That got old after a while, so Jeryl streamed them onto the computer.  Sounds good, right!  Use the jukebox software to scramble the music, no more changing Cd’s!  The only problem with this was the computer was downstairs and I mostly want to hear it upstairs.  Our next step was to put the software and all the music on my little laptop upstairs and hook it up to speakers.  Sounded great in theory, however, my “little” laptop was “little” on memory and couldn’t handle all the music and the software and play the music at the same time!  The next year, Jeryl decides to put a tower next to the couch, hook it up to the laptop and use the screen to control it.  Then we discovered that the tower made so much noise that you could hardly hear the music!  Last year we didn’t have any music   We just couldn’t figure it out.  I was very sad! So the other day a package arrived via FedEx.  I had to sign for it, which was unusual but, tis the season, so I didn’t think anything about it.  When Jeryl came home he opened the package and presented me with this

YAY!!!!!   Now all we have to do is load some music on it, hit shuffle, plug it in to the speakers and we shall have music all day long!!!!  I know we are a little behind the times, but I am still excited about my new toy!  My husband is the best!  My only problem is that I think I have too much music!  I am going to have to only pick my favorites!  We will see how that goes!

Merry Christmas! 

Catherine Adair was born Wed. morning a little before 8:00!!!  7lbs. 2oz and 19 inches long.  Cory had a long, hard labor but I know the reward was worth it.  This little girl is so beautiful!  I can’t wait to see her again! 

I was told she is very alert, but she only had her eyes open for a short time when we were there!  I just want to kiss those little cheeks!

Many congratulations Curtis and Cory!  I am so happy for you!!!!!

Many of you have asked to see all the Christmas Card Samples.  I thought the easiest way to show them to you was in a slideshow!  So sit back, relax, and enjoy the music!  Have a pencil and paper ready to take note of your favorites and then call me to set up your session so you can send your friends and family amazing cards! 

Christmas Cards

God Bless!
