Sincerely,
Vanessa & Joe (Wedding)
I'm excited to post some photos from Vanessa & Joe's wedding! I had a great day photographing their wedding & I'm really happy with the results- it was hard to narrow down the photos to share here! I've put together several storyboards from the day to show you:
Dad's Rootbeer
Another Father's Day post in July... (but this is the last one for 2010 ;)
This was my take on Amber's Rootbeer Tour... I used some of her labels for fun, but really I used all Dad's Rootbeer, because that's what Ken likes :)

Review & Giveaway - Ari's Bow-tique
A while ago I came across Ari's Bow-tique on Etsy & I loved the look of her products. She sent the girls & I some products to try out & I was not disappointed! I was so impressed!
The thing I love most about her hair products is the no-slip feature! It REALLY WORKS! And I'm telling you, Katrina's hair is NOT good for holding clips- it's whispy and fine and there's not a ton of it ;) Talia's hair IS thick and there is a lot of it, and we loved the products for her as well!
Lorena pays such attention to detail- the bows on the clips were perfect! She does a very nice job- they're beautiful!
She has some other products in her shop as well, so you'll definitely want to check it out!
Oh, and just another reason why Lorena is so great? She's going to send one of you this amazing back to school set of clippies, worth $67.50!
Here's Lorena's description of this package she has put together for you:
There are 13 solid tuxedo bow clippies and 13 theme clippies for various occasions throughout the year. There is one for someone in the U.S. and a little bow clippie for a Canadian winner. This would be a great set for "first timers" going to school or any little one going "back to school".
Sooo... You want to win??

Tie for Dad
We made this tie for Ken for Father's Day (a wee bit late in sharing this, I know- I've got a lot to catch up on! We've been busy around here!!)
What We Did:
1. Traced one of his regular ties to get the size & shape right (onto 2 pieces of cardstock, which we cut out & taped together).
2. Used blue streamers to wrap around & around the tie (taping at the back, as necessary)
3. Decorated with markers
4. Hole- punched 2 holes at the top, sides
5. Added string
And Voila! A beautiful tie for Dad to wear to church on Father's Day! :)
Note: You might try reinforcing the streamers by laminating it- this tie needed a few touch ups throughout the day as the tissue paper rubbed on things.
