Meet me in St. Louis!
Ah, off the road at last! Unpacked and getting ready to explore St. Louis. Anyone from here or familiar with the area? The trip was enjoyable, though winter weather is always fun to drive through! Working on custom orders and enjoying being out of the car. :-)

Moving Day!
Well, I am moving once more! Being a freelance photojournalists means that I am incredibly good at fitting my entire life's belongings in the back of my car. Have been based in West Texas for three months and heading back east to Missouri for a bit. Then it's down to North Carolina for a three month stint! I will be on the road this weekend-but no worries, all orders will still be shipped ASAP! Here's to a successful road trip!
Oh! And I reached 100 fans on Facebook! To celebrate, everything in the store is 20% off!!!!! Just enter the code FB100 in the comments at checkout and you will be refunded 20% through Pay Pal.
Also-almost every item in my store has FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE!!! *Happy Dance!* I know, it's exciting. So, free shipping + 20% off=amazing. Enjoy!

An Alternative Valentine's Day
Hello all! Well, it is Valentine's Day once again! Valentine's Day has always been interesting for me-never can get it quite right. I am with a wonderful man right now-soon to be husband- and this is our third Valentine's Day together. As usual, we are actually together for the third year in a row. We are both photojournalists and its amazing how you can forget holidays while working on photo stories. Our first year together he worked past midnight on a shoot, while I burned dinner terribly. We ended up eating bread and butter (the only thing I hadn't burned) and called it a night. Our second year together we were based in different states. Now, we are finally together in the same place-and we both scheduled shoots for Valentines Day!
S0 we celebrated yesterday. We are currently based around the El Paso, TX region and the hiking here is gorgeous! We spent majority of the day hiking in Franklin Mountain Parks. It was fantastic but I think I'm a bit out of shape. While he jogs ahead of me scaling steep trails I stay behind huffing and puffing for breath, clutching the stitch in my side. Don't get me wrong-I love hiking! But apparently my shins feel its been too long for such an ambitious hike. Still sore this morning-haven't felt those muscles in a while! After our hike we curled up and watched a movie with homemade guacamole. My favorite and one of his best dishes (lucky, I know!)
Now I am getting ready to head out on my shoot in a bit. I'm hoping to cross paths with him for lunch, but we shall see. We have found that Valentine's Day is much more successful with us when its celebrated the day before.
Happy Valentine's Day!

GIVE AWAY WINNER!!!
With her winning gift card Lynsi created a wonderful custom 1 year anniversary gift for her and her husband!
She took my original 8x8 Dream Love Create Be Happy and customized it for her and her hubby:
Dream (with her husband) Love (their dogs) Create (their own little castle) Live Happily (ever after). This would make a wonderful wedding gift, mother's day gift, father's day gift-fully customizable for any occasion! It even works for pet lovers too!
All of my items can be made to order. Just let me know what you would like and we will make it happen!
The new line of cards are meeting a wonderful response-thank you! I've added a "create your own" card in case I don't have the design you want up yet. Watch for expanded lines-wedding, birthdays, celebrations, sympathy and more.
Thank you Lynsi, and congratulations! It's been a pleasure working with you! Happy anniversary too!
