A surprise Gift and A BIG thank you

I just want to say thank you to the amazing person who left a special gift for me in a blue envelope and a flower card. You, whoever you are, are amazing. I will have to say that you have me baffled about who you might be because everyone I know knows I moved to a new house, at least I thought so.

I am thankful for our landlord who now lives in our previous home who called me and left this beautiful card full of encouragement and an amazing sacrificial gift to our family!!! Please know that when we come through this time, my husband and I have already agreed that we need to start a God fund account and bless others just the same...

Speaking of my Husband, he is now starting his own freelance company and I am so excited for him. Just pray for new business to miraculously flood in.

Feeling better on Sunday, we went out around town and took some web photos for him and his new business called novo design studio (Latin: 'make anew, refresh, revive, change, invent')

a little tidbit for the day

I want to send out a grand apology to everyone whom I am behind getting work to. With the craziness of my Husband's employer shutting the doors and my own illness, I have been under the weather and a bit scattered and really really not myself the last two weeks.

Even though I haven't been able to attend the last two weeks due to work and illness, And even though I have only been to study once...I am so thankful for my new bible study and knowing I feel a connection with these women and our desire to become more like Christ by studying His word and diving into a relationship with our Father in Heaven and being willing to pray for each others burdens.

We are all learning to trust, ask to forgive and to Give Up Our Prideful hearts... here is a poem that they sent to me, I love it!(also love Beth Moore, she is my hero) It is so good and true... just wanted to share... plus share a picture of my little darling with her best friend... . Enjoy

Pride is a Cheater

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God-given destiny...because
you demand your own way.

I cheat you of contentment...because
you "deserve better than this."

I cheat you of knowledge ...because
you already know it all.

I cheat you of healing...because
you're too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of holiness...because
you refuse to admit when your wrong.

I cheat you of vision...because
you'd rather look in the mirror than out a window.

I cheat you of genuine friendship...because
nobody's going to know the real you.

I cheat you of love...because
real romance demands sacrifice.

I cheat you of greatness in Heaven...because
you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.

I cheat you of God's glory...because
I convince you to seek your own.

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.

Untrue.

I'm looking to make a fool of you.

God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry...
If you stick with me

You'll never know.

SPECIALS!!! Free Digital Picture Frame

Autumn is here and I Love it!!!

I love the weather with the warm sun and cool breeze, the smells of fall and getting ready for the holiday season! Being at the mall so much in September and October, I discovered that William Sinoma has a wonderful mulling spice set that you can get to boil on the stove making your whole house smell amazing. I didn't buy them but it lured me into the store when I was passing by. Spending time at Pottery Barn and Janie and Jack these past two months kept me way too long in a retail environment!!! I did end up buying a wonderful Harvest candle that is burning on my desk as I work! Smells so good.

This is my favorite time of year!

It is also the time of year to get ready for giving gifts! And photographs are what I think is the best personal gift to give any family member.

Take time in December to get an Executive Mini Session so you can give many gifts to all your family.

Book an executive Mini Session by November 15 for the first two weeks in December and receive a cool purse size digital picture frame! Great for a holiday gift or to keep in your purse to brag about your session. additional frames will be available for purchase for $65.00 each, a special price for all my clients.

Remember, with the Executive Mini Session, you get 10 high resolution images.
