Going home!

I am soooo excited! Yesterday I purchased airline tickets for Mike & I to head back to the East coast for Thanksgiving. It is going to be sooo much fun to see my Mom & Ashley! Not too mention the family photo ops. They best get their smiles on as I am coming to town ladies! You need some updated snaps & I am the girl to take them! Now just to find someone to care for the pooches. Especially our high maintenance diabetic pup! Photo shoot today of a newborn! Can't wait it will be sooo much fun! I have also been making some fall cards & altered coaster frames! I feel creative! I also have some photo sessions to proof as well. So it should be a pretty busy weekend. I might add that it will be very nice to see my friend Christy & take her & Bre's pic together. Remember ladies model releases! Here is one of my favorites of Christy D.

Sometimes Life Can Be Tutu Much

Yep here is our dog Heidi in a Tutu. See doesn't she look happy! You know she is smiling. Of course she's not looking at the treat in my hand but at my camera. Hey whatever it takes to get the shot! If I have to hold a chocolate bar above my husbands head I will do that too. LOL! So lately we have been checking out housing in Alamogordo, NM because as of July 2007 that is where we will be living. I think we may look for a couple of acres with a house. It would be nice to not hear the neighbor yelling at their kids or be concerned our dogs are barking too much or too loud. I guess we will just have to worry about them being bitten by snakes & such. Yikes! I don't care for snakes & I know I must have gotten that from my Grannie. She is deathly afraid of them. I can remember an instance as a child when one got in the house & she cleared the coffee table in the living room to the top of the sofa back, scooping me up on the way. I remember I patted her hand and said "Don't worry Nana, Papa & Mommy will kill the snake" How funny a little kid comforting an adult! They lived in an orange grove in Florida at the time. There were all kinds of critters in and around that place. I used to walk barefoot all around during the summertime when I would visit them from Virginia. They definitely lived off the dirt road! I had the best of both worlds, country girl in the summer & city girl in the winter. Hey how many girls do you know that can bait their own hook yet find a great deal on a sassy pair of strappy sandals? exactly! Ahh those were the days!

Wow what a day & now I am posting a 2nd time in one day!

Write it down folks! Twice in one day! That is right it is still 11:32 pm pacific time & still today. Had a fun shoot with a gal that wants to get into modeling. I hope that she likes the shots I took of her. Her serious face was very cool & her eyes were amazing. She is so thin too! She is getting ready to move to GA for her first duty station in the Army. So let me know what you think! ;)

Wow almost a week has passed since I blogged!

I am a bad blogger. I should really work on this I know. I am currently taking this Graphic Design class that is pretty cool & I am learning quite a bit more about photoshop than my previous knowledge. I have been pretty busy lately doing on location stuff for families & seniors. I wish I didn't have to work & could play all day! That would be the best. I guess I don't really have to work...It just helps fund my photo addiction! I really need to get cracking on my website & deciding on pricing for my page as well. So yesterday I found out that I delivered some Close to my Heart stuff to a customer at the wrong address a month ago! So, today I went & knocked on the door of the house that I left it on & noone answered...So I left a note. "Hey I left a bag at this address with CTMH stuff in it but it was supposed to go to 1317 E College, not 1317 W College, Please call me so I can stop by to pick it up" Think they will call??? They were probably stamping till their heart was content while I was knocking away at the front door. Ugh! They probably threw it in the trash thinking "who left this crap on my door" or "Oh, what a wonderful surprise! I should make a card!" I have to give a shout out to my friend Ginger as she is the bestest & her husband is in the hospital having some surgery. Also to my friend Liz...she may be gone but not forgotten, Mitzi in Vegas woo hoo! I still cannot believe next year in July I will be moving to New Mexico...Who is gonna wanna come visit me in New Mexico. I can't even get people to come out to California, let alone New Mexico. Oh well. Last but not least a shout out to my friend Christy D. She always makes me laugh! Even when we have gaps of connecting it only takes me 2 seconds to realize why I miss her on a daily basis. ;)
