Grand Opening Extravaganza

You have all waited so patiently! Here are the Grand Opening details:

Sneak Peek

While I was in the studio today I finished hanging all of my backdrops. I decided to snap a few pictures of some of them so that I could give you all a little sneak peek.


This is a really pretty pink and yellow. It's perfect for girls and spring portraits!
This is also perfect for Spring.



This is my favorite scenic backdrop.

It works really well with these props. See the bench? My sweet hubby made that for me. It is by far the heaviest prop that I have. This will make a one of a kind portrait.

I really like the black and white. What about you?





I have many more backdrops and tons of props. I'll be taking more pictures soon.

My Studio

So, you guys have heard a lot of chatter here and there from Myspace to Facebook and Twitter about my new studio. I haven't been holding out on you purposely, honestly. I've just been so busy trying to figure out what to do with my space that I haven't had time to give great details.

I am so excited to share with all of you, all of the details. I have an awesome friend that I love dearly. Her name is Jennifer and she is the owner of Little Achievers Preschool. We opened our businesses at about the same time and thankfully we have been thriving despite the current economic status of most Americans. Together we decided that it would be neat for me to set up in one of her empty rooms. To tell you the truth, I love being there surrounded by little people. A huge perk for my clients is that it is in a very central location. It's located in the SR54 and US19 area. My Northern and Southern clients should be able to access it easily.

I am still getting everything ready. Keep your eyes peeled for an awesome Grand Opening Special. I have all of the details but I am holding onto those. Never fear, they will be posted this weekend!

It's once again time to be brutally honest, to get everything off of my chest, so that I can start all over again this week. Hop over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ to see what all of the fuss is about. It's truly quite entertaining to read everyone's Not Me Monday confessions. It's nice to know that I'm not alone!

• I did receive an email from a family member that bothered me for most of the week, keeping me up at night. I am not at all the type of person that follows God's will and then worries about the people stuck in the middle. I am NOT at all a sensitive person... Not Me!


• I did not send my children off to the museum with their grandmother and great aunt and then wish that I had gone along. I am not a big kid myself. I did not at all wish that I could have witnessed my daughter's head on a platter and my son crawling across the maze on the floor. I was not the slight bit upset that I missed these photo ops. Not me!


• I did not send my eldest son off to the woods to celebrate the New Year with his very best friend. I would never be able to relax knowing that he was camping and shooting fire arms with someone else. I do not trust his best friends parents with my son's life. What kind of Mother would send her son away for half of winter break? Not me!


• I did not miss above mentioned son at all. He didn't cross my mind every few minutes throughout the day while he was gone. I did jump three feet off of the bed when the phone rang just after midnight on New Year's Eve, fearing that he had been hurt and that he was hours away. I do not have anxiety. Not me!


• I did not practically jump for joy on New Year's Day when E-ahh's Mommy called to ask if I could watch her the next day. I do not love my babies and I certainly do not beg to spend time with them. I also do not love their parents for allowing me to be a part of their lives. Not me, never!


• I am not at all excited to be loving my baby CC for a few hours on Tuesday. It has not been weeks since I was able to do so. I have not missed her terribly and during this time I have not missed out on her first giggles. Not me. I'm not the absent auntie.


• I am not looking forward to Tuesday for another reason altogether. I would not be looking forward to sending my children back to school. My children did not at all drive me the least bit nutty while they were home during this break. Nope! I love it when they are all wound up in anticipation of Christmas and I also love the crash that they have after Christmas. I would never be planning Summer camp already. Not me! No way!


• I did not fall asleep before my husband last night. He was not awake until 2am while I snored and talked in my sleep. He did not leave the TV on so that I would toss and turn all night. We always sleep in sync. Always.


• And, I would certainly NEVER twitt from my cell phone during my beloved church service. I did not jump for joy to see 33Miles in concert. I also did not fight tears as they sang One Life to Love. I was not at all touched by the service.

Martha strikes again!

I have been knitting using the Knifty Knitter for the past few months. I've made hats and cocoons for all of the babies that have been born and I've even made a hat for my daughter.

My baby boy decided that he wanted one. So, as I sat teaching E-ahh's Mommy how to use the Knifty Knitter that she purchased so that she could get in on the fun, my second son started knitting this blue hat for his baby brother.

We weren't quite sure what he would do with the hat but rest assured knowing that he found a good use for it. My hubby told me to go in and check him out last night and this is what I saw:
Apparently PJ's are for the boring people. This child only needs a hat and a blanket.

E-ahh Bird

My friend has two cute little kids. "N" just turned two and "E-ahh" is two months old. She likes to escape every now and then and when she does, she allows me to take one of her cute little ones. I have been blessed to have E-ahh the last two times.

E-ahh is a precious little cutie bootie. She opens her eyes wide and smiles so cute when she sees you. If you haven't guessed, she has stolen a piece of my heart.

Here she is praising Jesus as she sleeps.

See the hair bow? Her Mommy refers to me as Martha because I tend to make new things all of the time. When she told me that she couldn't get barettes to stay in her hair, I knew just what to do. Velcro! So, here is her first velcro bow made by her Auntie Martha.

Baby hands are just so cute. I love their little piggies too but hers were covered by tights.

I'm off to get some more baby love before it vanishes before my very eyes. "C" and I are spoiling her very well.
