Cover your assets

Every once in a while I see a product that I just love. This is one that solves an on going issue with the low-cut jeans for the ladies! It's a called a hip-T, which is a hip band that goes around the top of your jeans (or dress pants) so when you bend over, you're not exposing the world your personal space. All the while looking great as a layered look with your shirt. I saw it quickly on the Today's Show fashion as a preview for 2009 and then couldn't find where to buy. So after much research I found this site that explains it well and offers a variety of styles and colors. www.myhip-t.com Go hip-T!
MY CURRENT PROJECT: finishing the Drysdale Wedding, waiting on album prints.
SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD: listening to the movie music that Jim is watching
CRAVING: to not work
NEEDED A MOMENT: can't believe we slept in that long!
BEST MOMENT: snuggling & watching Friday Night Lights with my hubby

Hibernating Trends: Mini Albums

The newest trend! Mini purse size 2x3 inch wedding albums - I'm so on it. We'll be offering them shortly. $75 for 10 mini-albums. Holds 25 photos. Available for any occasion or package.

I know, I'm slacking on the blog a little. I've been working extreme hours trying to get all the weddings on file done. Extreme hours as in until 3am and getting anywhere from 4-6 hours sleep. But it's all worth it. It feels really good to have some steady time to work on the weddings.
I've haven't been leaving the house much either, who wants to with this chilling weather anyway? Even skiing places are closed. Yikes. That's when you know it's too cold. So I've been hibernating.

MY CURRENT PROJECT: Drysdale photos and album selections. And mini-album research.
SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD: If you're not in it for love by Shania Twain
CRAVING: warm toes!
NEEDED A MOMENT: overwhelming experience; and Dunkin Donuts - please understand that some people out there are allergic to eggs and don't take it so personal when I ask for no egg. Geesh! Maybe someday they'll get my sandwich right.
BEST MOMENT: Realizing I'm pretty good competition

Mouse Hand Warmer

If you suffer from cold hands when on the computer for a very long time like I do, I found something really cool to help and I ordered one to try. So far, it really does work, very warm, almost too warm! The downside: obviously you have to take it in and out in order to type and if you use shortcuts on the keyboard as much as I do, your hand is out a lot anyway. And now my other hand freezes, lol. But over all, I give a warm thumbs up! http://igmproducts.com/index.php

Also, after a recent post, I found a new water bag for cameras. Not sure how I feel about it yet. But who knows for the future. If you or anyone you know has this, let me know your thoughts on how good it works.

PicPals

Inspired by the idea which was made into a book named: A Year of Mornings

I would like to start PicPals. It's kind of like a pen pal only you share photos not letters. For women only and their artistic photography views of the world. Once a week you must take a photo of something you saw, it can be as creative as you want and I will also share one back. Whether through email or through your own blog is up to you. If I get more than one response then we can either start another pair that can share or I can post them all. I haven't come up with any specific rules yet but I do think it should be taken on a specific day of the week around the same time. Maybe you can help me with ideas, I'd love to hear. I know we are all busy, including myself but it's good to stop for a moment and re-energize your creative being.

MY CURRENT PROJECT: Minqucci Wedding.
SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD: When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back by Confederate Railroad
CRAVING: to focus
NEEDED A MOMENT: Last night our fan blew up and smoked up the whole house! - eg
BEST MOMENT: I love new ideas even if they may not pan out

Best photo of 2008

Well I didn't have time to do a 2008 year in review of my wedding favorites like I usually do. But I do believe I have the best photo taken EVER in 2008 and it happens to be of my sister Bee taken by her daughter, Bryona. This was after her close call with cancer and many other medical problems. Thanks for everyone's support, thoughts and prayers!
Happy New Year 2009 everyone! Cheers!

MY CURRENT PROJECT: Minqucci Wedding
