One week to go…

What can I say, I’ve got some great fans and followers…it’s one week before March ends and I’m just 7 fans short of my goal…that’s just one fan a day! You guys ROCK!!! As promised, anyone who had a session booked this month will get a free set of wallets (you just have to book during March, it can be next month or even later). And, as promised, if I go over my goal, there will be more “extras” for those who have sessions booked. And, another little challenge, if we can add an extra 25 over my goal, that would be 185 fans…I have something that I’ll give away to one lucky fan…so stay tuned, tell your friends to join in and let’s see what we can do in the next week!!

Vegas….baby!

It’s been a week since we’ve been home from Vegas where we attended the WPPI…a large photography convention. This was my first time attending and WOW…it was amazing. The talented photographers, incredible information they shared and SO inspiring… Classes were offered by a variety of experts in various fields related to photography, a very large trade show was amazing and overwhelming and the energy of it all added up to a wonderful experience. With all the great new products and ideas I learned about…I’m eager to get busy and photograph, photograph and photograph!
Back home and guess what…we have SUNSHINE! YEAH…it’s not quite spring, but it sure looks like it around here…this is something I can handle…spring is my favorite season…so bring it on!
Here are a few photos from the trip to Vegas…how could I resist some shots of the strip…LOVE the lights there, especially at night! ENJOY!
My husband and I, enjoyed a walk around the waters in front of the Bellagio.
Couldn’t resist a photo of this building…it’s still under construction, but is just wild! It’s for a new brain health center…I can’t help but think that many patients might need more help after arriving at this facility…and I can only imagine what it’s like inside…interesting to look at, but what was the architect thinking?!??

Happy Valentine’s Day…

I hope that everyone has had a great Valentine’s Day…and was able to spend it with those you love and enjoy spending time with…because that is what the day is all about! My day has been great…my wonderful husband, Rick, and I enjoyed breakfast at our favorite little cafe (Auntie B’s on Meridian in Puyallup) in town – and picked up coffee on the way…FORZA (http://www.forzacoffeecompany.com/) in downtown Puyallup – the BEST.  Normally Rick is our Sunday morning cook, but yesterday he had breakfast duties as our 4 year old granddaughter, Jayden, had spent the night and she wanted to fix pancakes with “papa” so they fixed a great breakfast that morning. That made it easy for this morning to decide to go out! After breakfast…we were back at home and while Rick watched the Daytona 500, I caught up on email and read a few blogs…and later we were able to deliver Valentine cards to both our kids (and spouses) as well as Jayden.  Dinner at home was AWESOME…if I don’t say so myself…and way better than fighting the crowds at the restaurants, let alone the expense! Here are a few pics from our great dinner…how can I not take a photo or two, of our great meal!

Pretty nice presentation, huh, not bad for for someone who really doesn’t do this sort of thing normally!
Chocolate Martini’s…a perfect drink on this day of love and chocolate!!
Our dessert…Molten Mocha Cake…yummy and very easy to make!
As I think about Valentine’s Day…it reminds me of those I love and care about…and just what they mean to me. Family and good friends, that is what life is all about! Hopefully, you have been able to celebrate today with those you love and enjoy spending time with…and maybe even enjoy a bite (or two!!!) of some good chocolate…because what would Valentine’s Day be without some great chocolate!?!
It’s now time to head to bed…but I hope you all have had a nice weekend and if you happen to have a long weekend with President’s Day tomorrow…I hope that you are able to take some time to relax and do some things you enjoy and to appreciate all that you have!

AND… a photo I took yesterday morning of three of my favorite people…my husband, granddaughter and our dog….a photo I love of some special people in my life!!
