“Hello? I’m awake now and I wish someone would come and get me.”
Relatively calm.

“What? Didn’t you hear what I said? I didn’t say ‘Take my picture’ -
I said, ‘PICK ME UP, NOW!’ ”
And who says boys are not good at communicating.

Added just so you guys can see a “cute” picture too -

YES! I am too! So – I have had a brilliant idea. I’m attending a digital Done-in-Four class via live or recorded webinar series. Oh my gosh – this is so awesome.

I’m hosting a class VIRTUALLY so instead of coming to my house and bugging you with catalogs and such, you can just watch online one of the live, or recorded, series.

The first class has been the most informative one to me. I have memory cards, external hard drives and disks FULL of photos but had not been able to organize them in one, convenient system to have a way to actually DO anything with them.

Even if you are not really a “scrapbooker” you need to check out this class series. Basically – if you take digital photos, and need help getting them straightened out and organized – this is for you.

Want to help me out and come to a class with me? I’m learning too – but I think together we can get at least one thing organized this year! *laughing*

Email me at ang.england at yahoo if you are interested in taking this exciting photo-organization journey with me.

Need a last-minute present that still has special value and doesn’t feel like a “throw-away” gift. My Creative Memories consultant just informed me about the new specials CM is offering!

From December 5th-20th you can save 20% off of Last-Minute memory-keeping gifts. I have to say, on a personal note, the album I made my husband for Father’s Day is the single most frequently read book on our bookshelf. He loves it.

Yesterday he hinted to me, “Sure would be nice to have this update some day.” *laughing* Hint, much? Still, it is heart-warming to see him so appreciative of the album I put together. I used Memory Manager to put it together and it was so easy to organize the album I wanted. (Memory Manager is the digital photo organization and editing program – surpasses all others and costs less!)

If you are looking for a way to increase the personal value of a gift, without breaking your budget, or resorting to a generic gift-pack from the big box store, consider checking out what this stay-at-home-mother has to offer.

Added a picture to my profile by popular request.

This is one of my favorites taken just three days after the birth of my daughter, Brianna. My mother delivered her as she arrived into our home 15 minutes before the midwife did! *laughing* Such a blessing.

Brianna arrived Thursday afternoon and this is us on our way to Baby Dedication that Sunday morning.

Yesterday – The kids visited Santa Clause at Gloria’s work. She works at the Choctaw Headstart Program and it was their Christmas party.

Naked Baby in the Holly. This was her seven month birthday.

Hiding behind the Pointsettas

You want me to do WHAT with the pointsettas!?

Evan really liked the lights.

*laughing*

Well, I saw a similar montage of photos at the last CM Crop I went to that had been done by a professional photographer so I decided to try it myself. My digital camara is a good one so Evan and I had a lot of fun playing around this evening….however, I had to size and crop all pictures by hand with the most basic of photo editors. Thankfully it was able to at least make them black and white.

The results? You decide!

OK, so it’s a weird feeling I’m experiencing right now. I’m all dressed up as though I were getting married….right down to the veil and slippers. But I’m not…yet….49 more days to go.

I’m on my way to a Bridal Shoot with my photographer. Sidney is MAD that he can’t see the pictures yet! *teasing grin* Poor guy. *fake pout*

Seriously though, It’s weird to see myself in the mirror and know that in a little over a month I’ll be doing this all again….but this time, to commit myself forever to the one person who is God’s perfect completion for my life.

I can’t wait!

I’m so brain-dead at the moment. Newsletter time for mom which means (as I told Clif earlier) nose-to-the-grind, lots of numbers, lots of typing, double checking stuff, etc. Work!

Real, honest WORK! *grin*

Plus Year-to-date recognition stuff in preparation for this year’s Showcase (National Convention for Creative Memories) plus winding down from an awesome jump-start on the incentive trip period….May was the first month and mom had over 80 people join her team….80 in ONE MONTH! Wow!

Of course, the demand for this business is SO great…I mean….EVERYONE takes pictures. And honestly, I think if I ever do a home-based business again it will definately be Creative Memories.

Anyway, back to the grind.
