Hi Readers!

I want to enter a photo contest. I need photos for the following categories:

Love, Connection, Fun, Hope, Creativity, Family

With all the free time on your hands (hahahahahahahahaaha) could you help me by picking out one of my photos that represents one of these categories? Heck, if you have more than one you could suggest that would be even more awesomer

Maybe you can think of one right off the bat? Maybe it’s one of YOUR family’s I took – maybe you’ve seen it and thought it was exceptionally good?

You can go through this blog, my website, my first blog, my second blog. Leave where to find the pic and what category it fits into in my comments or email me!

If ya have a minute, I’d appreciate it. Thanks y’all.

I’ve pushed this before, but here is a great example: best friends. These photographers are a-maze-ing. Amazing.

I love and adore Etsy. I’ve started buying entirely too much as much as I can there (of things I would normally buy…hahahahahahahaha)

Behold, my latest arrival. These are little houses made of felt that I am going to hang on the girls’ doorknobs (or maybe at eye level on the outside of their doors). They are spectacularly lovely. Maria made them custom for me. Natalie has a butterfly theme in her room, and Lily has flowers. Each one was $20. They were sooooo worth it. Maria, from the shop Intres, lives in Spain! How cool is that? They came all wrapped in a package too beautiful to open. Anyway, someone you know needs one of these! (these are the front and back of each)

Remember Kelli and Travis and their engagement pictures several posts back? Well, Kelli works on this beautiful horse farm in Magnolia. While I was snapping their engagement session I begged to take pictures of the horses, too. The following pictures are of two baby colts (I hope that’s the right term!). One is named Picasso (he’s the one with the perfectly healthy blue AND brown eyes), and the other guy is Concerto. Arent’ those beautiful names? Horses bring out the child in people I think. I felt all giddy and excited around them. They are so majestic. It’s not unlike photographing people – they are wildly expressive. Y’all know I like my portraits as intimate as possible, so get ready for some whiskers and nostrils!

This was fun. Go to www.wordle.com and make yourself a word cloud all about you (or anything else you fancy!). Soooooo easy!!!

Here’s mine with words from my blog:

Regarding Ike: Hang in there Houstonians – We can do it!

Regarding Matilda Jane: Don’t forget my trunk show is next Saturday the 20th. We are getting the first crack at the brand new West Side line! I am so excited to see it. I’ll mail out those catalogs (because Sack Lunch is sold out practically) as soon as I get them. Please contact me if you want in on the merchandise or to come to the show!! Remember you don’t have to live around here

Here is a pic of a sneak peek of the new stuff, and a blog post announcing the designer’s excitement!

(Not my picture – it’s from another very cool photographer.)

Don’t forget I’m hosting a Matilda Jane Trunk Show on Sept. 20th. They have clothing for girls size 12 months to adults. The whole collection with pricing is on their website. Click on the 2008 Collection tab. The collection is quite small so it is not overwhelming and not overpriced! Plus, the clothes are absolutely divine.

Even if you can’t make it to the show, check out the collection and email me whatever you would like (name of garment and size of garment) and we can arrange payment. You don’t have to live anywhere near me, for those of you who blogstalk from afar!

I just want your girlies to look this cute! (Look at those legwarmers!!!)

 To die for clothes…

I’m swamped, up to my ears in work. A blessing and a curse. It’s my 5 year anniversary this weekend…I’ll report back next week! Thought this picture was a great way to end the week…Triplets!! And Miss Madison (the second from left) TGIF!

with laughter and tears are streaming down my face. GO HERE AT ONCE. Thanks, Sundry!!!! If you all haven’t taken my umpteen million prompts to read Sundry’s blog, please get on the wagon. She will make you pee your pants with laughter and nod your head in empathy with her stories. Oh how I love her. Miss Jen Hunter, I believe it was you who turned me on to her…THANK YOU!
