The best of 2009

Jillian - Happy New Year Abi!
I’m glad that I found your blog this year, and I can’t wait to see how 2010 treats you.
Hope San Fran is working out great :)

For the love of canvas….

….nothing say’s art like a canvas. Thick, sturdy, beautifully woven. An incredible way to show off your pictures… I love canvases. I just bought two for my study, and upon opening them I wanted to buy 500 more. Never mind they won’t fit on my walls. I’ll change them out every week! I say. Like...

Lydia - I LOVE canvases! I’m having four printed to hang at an office in town. Can’t wait to have them in my hands!

look look!

Last night my wonderful husband man added a new category to the top of my blog, and considering how html illiterate I am, it was about the same as him performing magic. Or teleporting me into the future….. I’ve been wanting to add another category to the top for a while now, and have been...

Lesley - Growing faster than a pregnant lady – that made me giggle! :)

…be my friend…

Today in the midst of editing and sorting pictures, wonder of wonders, I got distracted, {as I always seem to do} and started thinking of other things I needed to get done… ..and to be honest, those things were a tad more fun then sorting through the 12,000 plus photos I need to sort …....

I’m just me - Ohh ohh ohh! A winner will be announced today!! Right?

Lori - I almost feel a little lame for doing this. The only reason I feel like I might be deserving of this, is because I give away lots…I mean lots. Free or discounted photo shoots, lessons, cards, you get the point. I am even going to try to become a photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. I haven’t yet submitted my application, but it is on my list of things to do this week. Along with take a meal to a sick family from are church . Spend time with my sister who is in from out of town. Finsih the final touches on my grandma’s 80th birthday party that I orchestrated, planned, and put together. yikes, as I was just re reading that it almost sounds like I’m making it up. But I’m not I promise. The only reason I’m not nominating some one else is because I don’t know of anyone who lives in your area. However me and husband are coming to California for our 8th wedding anniversary in December. I have been dreaming of doing a photo shoot of just the two of us now that we have three little boys. Honestly, more than anything I want a reason to get dressed up, get my hair and make up done. Feel young, beautiful, and in love again. Maintaing my feminity has become more important to me the older I have gotten. Maybe it’s just that I’m surrounded by boys on all sides. Don’t get me wrong I love them more than anything. Sometimes it would be nice to just be Lori. Thanks for considering me/us.

A uhaul, a winter coat and a pumpkin latte
