Really, how can you go wrong with flowers? Never, right?
Well as I talked about earlier I left my husband and little ones behind to attend a photography event in Philly, hosted by the fabulous Kristin with Essential Imagery. When I returned on Wed. my oldest son Sammy was so excited he about dragged me to the kitchen to see a surprise and this is what I found waiting for me:



And here’s a pic of my oldest Sammy with the Valentines Day cake he made…. note how all the sprinkles are in one huge clump in the middle..tee..hee..hee… then he didn’t even like the cake part with the sprinkles… go figure!

Some of you may know that I just returned from a few days in Philly where I was meeting up with some kick ass photographers to do a little “secret” sharing and fun. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting my friend Maggie who I had been chatting with online for over a year but just finally got the chance to meet her face to face and boy did we just seem like we’d known each other forever! After we met up at the airport (Maggie is from AZ) we headed out to meetup with our good karmic host Dana! Another photographer described Dana as the embodiment of love and good karma and I have to agree 100%. She is so sweet and nice and I am still in awe that she let two strangers crash her pad when she just got over a bad case of strep throat AND has a 4 month old baby along with two other handsome little boys! I can’t tell you how much fun I had because words are just failing me right now… but I can show you my new friends!

and Dana:

I have lots more photos to post of them when I get a free moment – we had the best time taking some pics of each other just before Maggie and I had to leave for the airport
More to come soon!
I have been super busy trying to figure out some new products this year and I love these little mini easel galleries.
They are 5×7 or 5×5 prints that are mounted to a black, silver or gold bevel mount board, the print is sprayed for protection and then you display them on these little black wooden easels. They look outstanding and I have one client who told me she did this and bought several bevel prints and rotates them out for display – what a great idea!

I’m thinking about including a set of these in an upcoming spring promo… hmmmmm
