I had such a productive weekend.  I’m about tired of this weather but we’re not even officially in the season of Winter yet.  Blah!  But having to stay indoors has had its advantages.  I’ve been able to get some business stuff taken care of.  Just today I got my website tweaked a little bit and you may notice navigating has just gotten a little bit easier.  I can’t take the credit though…if you are in need of a blog/website head on over to Lilac Creativeand Genevieve will take care of everything!   And don’t forget to tell her I sent ya!   Give me some time as over the next few weeks I’ll be adding product images and moving things around a bit.  I’m finalizing my pricing right now for 2011 so that comes first as well….the 1st of January is nearly here!!!  Whoah!  Bye, Bye 2010-where did you go?

I mentioned in a previous blog that I’ve been on this DIY kick lately and this weekend I knocked out some really cute headbands and flower clips {in pink & purple with pearl} for my girls-that actually stay in their super-fine hair!  Woohoo!  They were pretty excited and had fun modeling my new creations for me.  I also got some leggings sewn and well…you can see for yourself just how dog-gone cute these are, with or without the pettiskirt.  If your little girl wants to wear a skirt-no problem, just slip these on and voila-probably just as warm if she were to wear pants.  Super-cute for fall photos but your little ones legs won’t get cold!  These can also be worn under a short-sleeve shirt to cover the arms.  I would have had an image of Alexandra also modeling my flowers;  however, she was in just a too goofy of a mood and I didn’t get a good photo of them.  Jozlyn would actually sit still and as you can see from the images, turn her head with the flower toward me in order for me to get a good shot.  I coached her a little but was such a good little model.  I’m excited to make more of these.  Now I just have to learn to crochet so I can make some newborn boy props.  Learning to crochet is on my Winter to-do list before Spring comes around.  I actually want to learn before February so that if my client has a boy I’m prepared!

Also, I managed to paint one wall in my office this evening.  It’s a relatively small room so the rest won’t take me long.  I need the hubby to put up some shelves for me and then I can move all my items back and then move his side of the office to paint the rest.  It’s a very light gray {Fairfax Gray to be exact};  however, in an office where there is pretty much zero natural light, it appears to be more like a taupe color.  I like it all the same and is better than boring white walls! 

So I must say….a pretty productive weekend…..oh and I was able to spend some time with family, took the kids swimming at a hotel and they sure had fun.  I did too…it was nice to do something different.  All of our kiddos love the water too and are already excited for swimming lessons this summer.

Well that’s about all I got for today.  In the next two weeks I’ll will be working on the details of the Session Giveaway I had mentioned on Facebook a while back.  It will not be on Facebook because they’ve just tightened up all the rules and it would be a bigger headache if my page were to be taken down because of it, sooooooo….look for the details to come in early January. 

Until next time, Live, Laugh, and Love the one you’re with-for each person in your life is a blessing this Christmas and always.  Merry Christmas everyone!!
