And their off! Gone! Outa here!

Okay, Okay, I know I said I would talk more about our cruise, so here we go...It was great! I highly recommend one! Now on to other things...
Every year one of my favorite things to do are my Christmas cards. It's my gift to myself. I pick out my cards with great care, think and think and think about what the kids will wear,(not that the color ended up mattering THIS year because I ended up liking the black & white photo the best)where I will take it, and what type of note to put inside the card. I start thinking about this in July. It can be a newsy letter, a crazy poem or a special story. I put a lot of ME in those cards and if you receive one of these cards, you are getting a part of me... kind of like my left pinky severed and laying on your dining room table... I take A LOT of pictures because kids act a little nuts when you dress them up, fix their hair, and ask them to smile for a straight hour. They do things like in the photo above. THIS IS NOT THE PHOTO I HAVE IN THE CHRISTMAS CARDS! You will not see it until you open YOURS! Your very own piece of me...
