2011 Saint Louis Shot Party

What’s a Shot Party? Well, it’s a day of fun and education for fellow photographers …and it’s much easier to understand if you watch this video. (Ignore the weirdo doing a “model walk” a little over 2 minutes in…. She’s a little kooky.) Photobooth fun with my friendly photog comrades.  This party happened in August...

Last Minute Valentine’s Day Idea

Wanna great last minute Valentine’s day project? Roman recently broke his leg (again) and we were too focused on that to worry about Valentines day. But now, his party at school is happening in just 24 short hours and we needed some Valentines to make! Of course, I found this one on Pinterest.  You can...

Embracing the Spirit

It must be the blessing of small children that make this time of year so much fun for me. Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of frustrating parts of the Christmas season: The obligatory gift giving, trying to meet expectations of in-laws, “out-laws”, and other family members, and the commercialization everywhere you turn (right...

Donna, those are adorable! Makes me wish we’d kept our pumpkins past Thanksgiving. Of course, I probably would have skipped all the hard work, stacked the pumpkins, and told the kids to NEVER TOUCH. :) I’m impressed you guys pulled those off!

Lisa - December 22, 2011 - 1:42 am

Brilliant idea! I felt so bad throwing away my perfectly good pumpkins a few weeks ago. I had them on my porch still with the Christmas decorations :) I will have to try this next year.

Woooo! They turned out cuter than I even imagined! A job well done, Big Idea Person! Love love love them!
