the ideas keep coming...

IT'S SUNDAY NIGHT AND WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND IT WAS AT MY HOUSE.  EVEN THOUGH I LOVE MY JOB, THIS TIME OF YEAR THERE IS SO MUCH EXTRA TO DO THAT EVERY DAY OFF JUST FLYS BY DOESN'T IT? THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREE TWINKLING FROM THE CORNER OF MY LIVING ROOM TONIGHT AND I'VE GOTTA TELL YOU THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. MOST OF THE REST OF MY DECORATING GOT DONE TODAY TOO AND TOMORROW MY HUBBIE AND DAUGHTER HAVE DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO BAKE SOME COOKIES.

YESTERDAY I HAD THE PLEASURE OF TAKING WEDDING PICTURES AS "THE OFFICIAL"  PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. IT WAS A SECOND MARRIAGE FOR THIS SWEET COUPLE AND IF I GET PERMISSION I WILL SHARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES WHEN I GET DONE RETOUCHING.

FOR NOW THOUGH HERE'S SOME FUN IDEAS TO SHARE:
