Giveaway tomorrow

Tomorrow is the BIG day. I am having a giveaway for my 200th post!!

Yay ! Yay!

The giveaway is from the talented Andrea at Knitty Bitties

This is what one lucky person will get

one of these oh snap wallets.

Aren't they great ?

I have one and love it. The ruffle is awesome! They are lined with a contrasting fabric.

and two slots for business cards, license, gift cards, credit cards you name it.

I use mine for a business card holder.

But I think it would be a great little way to give to someone as a present with a gift card inside.

You won't want to leave trust me I want one of everything in there.

Couple shots of our display of photos in the patient waiting room here at work.

I work full time at a Physical Therapy office and the therapist here and I have been discussing photography

for awhile and we decided we would decorate the waiting room with photos for sale.

Not the greatest lighting but we are hoping to improve that.

The response has been great ! Patients have made all sorts of great comments.

 Working on adding some more to the collection.

If your in the area stop by and check it out.

On another note I am close to my 200th post and as promised I am having a giveaway!

Here's a hint of what it is

Stay tuned Friday is the big day.

SUNNY DAYS

I have been crazy busy sorry for the delay in posting.
We've been busy visting the local carnivals & fairs and a steam and gas show.
And recovering from Maddie's first week at the new daycare.

Which she's done great at! Can't wait to see what this week brings.

I have some exciting things coming up, A wedding on Saturday,

and working on a giveaway for my 200th post.

Shots above are from an awesome Sunflower field close to our house, I could have spend all day there.

I would love to take Maddie there. The sunflowers would tower above her thou..

OOh and look at what I got !

A shootsac

I have been wanting needing one of these for awhile.

Been saving up and finally got one.

I can't wait to use it this weekend.

When I shot the 80th birthday party I was running back and forth

 to my camera bag to switch lens or cards.

I got mine from here for a great price little savings from the Shootsac website.

I even got a free shoulder strap too!

The Fourth

Baby Ascher

Sweet baby Ascher

Lil baby toes

Glad this horse is hiding my double chin.. whew..

Check out her USA shirt I made her. Found the tutorial  here on one of my favorite blogs

We had a wonderful fourth jam packed full of good times with family

and many firsts for Maddie.

She had fun at Pops & Mom Mom's house playing in the sprinkler

She got to meet Ascher and tickle his toes..

She went to fourth of july carnival and had a ball riding the carnival rides

but cried when we had to take her off of the rides.

She wasn't impressed with the fireworks, she wasn't scared of them just wasn't into them so we left early.

She was more impressed with the glow ring she got.. ha ha
