Got my photos back from Ritz & I love them!

[they are square because I edited them in Photoshop before I sent them over] 

Now they just need to go up on the wall :)

2012 new year's resolutions: c'mon everybody's doing it...

It's that time of year again...New Year's resolutions. I've never really been one to make resolutions because I don't think I've ever felt like I would follow through with any promise I've made to myself. So what if I promise God? My quiet time with God has been scattered here & there. Of course, I blame it on the fact that my time is spent taking care of our baby. But who blessed me with taking care of this baby? Beckette is His child first. He is her Heavenly Father & James & I are her earthly parents. Do I not owe it to Him to give Him some of my time each day to explore His word & give thanks for all the blessings I have? So that is my #1 New Year's resolution. To have my quiet time every day & read my Bible with my husband every night. And I guess #2 will be to lose the rest of my baby weight [10 more pounds to go, yes I can do this!] So what is everyone else promising to do this new year?

Baby Shower Activity Idea

Baby shower activities can sometimes be a little dull, so why not do something that will

actually go into the baby's scrapbook? [if you ever get around to it!]

This is something I made up for my baby shower

& it has been quite popular lately in my Etsy Shop!

It is something for everyone to fill out for the little one.

photo printing secret!

I am very excited to be able to start working on my mini-studio [of course not until after this crazy week is over]. No office space would be complete without a buttload of Beckette photos. So for those of you who don't know about this amazing deal from Ritz...you're welcome! [they also do the white borders for free]

 

This is the look I'm going for...

Affordable Gift Idea!

Are you thinking of giving gift cards for yet another year in a row? How about something a little more personal? For the pet lovers in your family, this is the perfect gift! I can take any photo & turn it into a really cool looking painting. This works with any kind of animal [dog, cat, horse, bird, hamster, doesn't matter!] If you like this idea but don't have a picture of your friend's pet, that's okay! Gift certificates are available for the personal painting!
