Please please please

Ideas needed!  STAT!

Dec. 6 marks 10 years that I have been with C and I want to do something special... just no idea what.  Keep in mind I have limited time (grad class kicking my butt), a 3 year old and would like to not spend a ton of $$ before Xmas.  You gals are all so creative-- I know you can come up with something grand ;)

Count Your Blessings Tuesday: Wednesday Edition

Today I am grateful for:

• holiday decor.  I absolutely love how my house looks around the holidays :)
• Christmas shopping almost done!
• rave reviews of my photography. 
• time off from work to enjoy my time with family.
• not having to cook a Thanksgiving feast.
• being where I am in my life... just where I am meant to be.

I'm a part of the problem...

I complained and scoffed at the malls having Christmas decor out and Christmas music a month in advance.  I laughed at people that had blowups on their lawn.  I am now the proud owner of a small santa blowup aaaaaaaaaaand my Christmas decor is up.  I haven't put the lights outside yet or the blowup but inside... it's all Christmas.  I may be hypocrite... I'll own it... but I'm a happy one... and I have a happy kid to go with it.

Rave

This is the nicest rave I've received to date for my photography.  Had to share ;)

I must tell you, first of all, you are awesome! Freakin' awesome. You are just amazing and you have such a talent. I just looked at your website for the first time...and I just said to ___ how incredible you are.

The couple of pictures I saw are amazing. I can't wait to see the rest. You are so talented...what the heck are you doing teaching. Holy mother of heck! Just unbelievable.

Thanks again for coming by today and let me say this...worth every penny.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOTS

I've been meaning to buy myself boots for a long long time.  These called my name today.  I think we go well together ;)  

Now I need to go out and buy me a sweater dress to look all cute with these boots.  What do you think?
