Hot Mamas!

 Let me introduce you to my dear friend Cate. 

This is Cate BEFORE.

 This is Cate AFTER.

Hello Beautiful!

For Father's Day... I thought it would be fun to take the every day

mommy and make her HOT!!! for her hubby.

What guy doesn't want a beautiful photo of their woman at their office,

in there wallet, or even in their house...

So here is how it works...

I do your hair and make-up in 40-45 min... Oh yes I am that good!

FYI-  I have done hair and make-up for 15 years and I have every color for all skin tones.

I have never disappointed EVER!  

Then you get to go out with me to a great location and photograph for an hour.

After that, you'll get 10 images that you can make any size and as many copies as you want!

There is no better combination, a photographer and a hair and make-up artist all in one!  What gets better than that...!  

I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Think Outside the Frame: Valentine Bunting

Looking for a fun way to say "I love you" this Valentine's Day? Try making this cute Valentine bunting. Here is what you need: 1) cute photos of family or friends, 2) ribbon, 3) mini clothespins (you can find these at Michaels), 4) festive paper (my paper is from Michaels)
5) valentine cherubs (I cut mine out of old Victorian Calenders). You can search online for valentine cherubs too.

I had a lot of fun making these. My boys love to look at them.

Think Outside the Frame: Floating Hearts

Here is a fun whimsical way to display cute photos of your family just in time for Valentine's Day. If you're the ambitious type (like me) you can hang tree branches from your ceiling in your dinning room or, above your kitchen table. FYI- My tree branches are up all year round. You're probably thinking...how? The best way would be drilling ceiling hooks into your ceiling and suspending the branches from fish-wire. If this still freaks you out find some branches and place them in a vase. Even better, simply hang heart photos in your windows and skip the branches all together or, just hang them from your ceiling with fish-wire (for the floating effect) or, use cute ribbon to hang the hearts.

My husband was NOT excited about the idea of me hanging tree branches in our dinning room at first, but after he saw them up, he loves them.

Oh! I've had these branches up for 6 years and they have never fallen.

For the hearts: 1) Find your favorite photos of your loved ones (about 28 photos). You don't have to have that many, that's just how many I used because the hearts have images on the front and back. There are 14 hearts total hanging on the branches. 2) Figure out what size heart you want and make a stencil. Mine were between 7"x 6" and 5" x 4" hearts. I like to have 2 or 3 different sizes so it gives the display more depth. 3) If you don't want to destroy your photos or pay for new prints, make photo copies of them instead. 4) After you stencil and cut your hearts out, you will need spray adhesive to sandwich them and the fish-wire together. If you don't want to deal with a two sided heart you can do one side and write a sweet message on the back. 5) You can tie them or add a little hot glue to the end of your fish-wire and glue it directly to the branch or window. The glue will come off. Do NOT do that on your ceiling. The hot glue will take off the paint.

I love how they twirl around when I walk past them.
