now for the real story

So I "whipped up" this cute storyboard of some pics I took of Sam and posted on my other blog.


But I just want you all to know that behind those adorable blue eyes and that faint little grin is a true negotiator who refuses to let a good deal slip away. Oh ya... one would think that my house would be crawling with opportunities for me to work on my photography and that I would never be without a subject or model... oh, no!! Let me set the record straight that everytime my camera emerges from its bag, our house is suddenly transformed into some ghost town relic complete with blowing tumbleweeds.  That can't be good??!! 

And so began my bargaining with Sam to see what it would be worth for just 5 minutes of her time to snap some photos.  The bidding started with 1 piece of candy and we finally settled on 3 pieces of candy, but one of the pieces would have to be gum... that was her final offer... I could take it or leave it.  As you can see, I took the offer and she didn't even try to sabotage the photos with her signature frown or ubber goofy smile.  

Thanks Sammy!!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!
