Gingerbread House....
This year for our Christmas Program at church, the decorating committee (ya'll rocked! :)) wanted each family to make a gingerbread house so they could be displayed on the tables in the fellowship hall after the program (we have to eat afterwards, of course!) So Kade, Konnor and Kensley were to make one together....well, it started off good - they were all in to it, but after about an hour, they were done. So me and Melissa and Kylee just HAD to finish it for them. :) Me and Kylee and Kade make one every year just for us normally - so I had a little experience. And a gingerbread house is the perfect thing to unleash my boxed up, dying to get out, over the top, Christmastime creativity. It's something about Christmas - my creativity levels get a boost. I constantly buy craft supplies around this time of the year! Anywhoo.....we finished it for them, and I even went and added some to it just before the program. LOVED it!! Here's the pics:

Christmas Trees in the middle of remodeling....
I moved. Maybe, 3 weeks ago. House is under construction at this time, AND we live there. But it's Christmas!! So up go the trees! Five of them at this time. And I REALLY want to add just one more - okay, I'm contemplating 2 or 3 more but it's probably not going to happen...
I guess during all of the chaos that is my life right now, my brain got overwhelmed and went into shutdown. So a big thanks goes to my friend Lindsey! Poor thing - I called her (more than once), and text her numerous times. She even had to text me pictures of how she did part of her tree. I knew WHAT I wanted - just couldn't seem to get it there!
But I perservered! Is that spelled correctly? Doesn't look right - anyway, I did it! And BEFORE December 1st!! YAY!! Here's pics! (And sorry for the quality - I was being lazy and didn't want to get my flash out.)
Living room tree:
Master bedroom tree:
Kylee's tree in her den in her apartment:
Den tree:
Kade's bedroom tree: I think it's going to be reworked....he up and changed themes on me and now it don't jive.... :)

HURRY!!! Christmas Sessions now booking!!
Here is the email that went out to our photography clients this morning, wanted those blog followers to have an appointment also!!!..........................
And I am not joking when I say you really need to hurry! :)
As you all probably already know, we shot our Fall sessions this past weekend and I have had three people email me to tell me that saw some of them and were soooo sorry they didn't book! They were super duper cute!!!! I am telling you this because not only did all of the folks from Saturday get a $5.00 discount (if they bought the $35.00 package, which most did!) on the Christmas session, they also got the chance to book their Christmas session appointment before we announced it!! And even more important: THEY ALSO ALL GOT HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES FROM THE CAKE LADY THAT LIVES NEXT TO THE WAREHOUSE WE SHOT AT! They were SOOOOO worth whatever money was spent! lol.
And because we LOVE our repeat clients.....IF you buy Package C at the Christmas session, you get $5.00 off of the Valentine session PLUS you get to register for a FREE 11x14 at our Valentine session!!!
We will be offering the 10x20 storyboard that we had at our sessions Saturday (people fell in LOVE!) and we are planning to add Christmas frames to the frame line this time!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!
Just to verify - if you want to book - you need to do so soon! I only have ONE, I repeat ONE, morning appointment still available!! They are first come first serve! Fastest one wins!! :)
We are still finalizing details but here is where we are:
They will be shot in the same spot as the Fall and Easter pictures. The warehouse on Walter Bird Drive in Owens Cross Roads.
They will be shot on Saturday, November 6th, 2010.
The set will be suitable for children, pre-teen, teens, adults, couples and families (up to a certain number).
We WILL be offering Christmas cards!
We do have the set in mind - however, we are making some last minute decisions on it this week and will let you know when we are 100% sure what we are doing!! Will also have the prices on the next email - still VERY affordable!!
Email me at mkrogers3081@hotmail.com or call or text me at 256-656-9580 to book! I don't always get to answer during business hours (8:30 - 5:00) but feel free to leave me a message and I will call you back!!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
AND THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY BOOKED YOUR APPOINTMENT!!

Fall
I LOVE this time of year! Starting in September, I just get beside myself. Seems like I get more "crafty" and more creative and just excited all around! I love to decorate when it gets Fall - of course, it would help if I actually had a HOUSE right now! So for now, I'm just in planning mode. Eventually the house will close and I will get to move. I may have to decorate for Christmas when I do but that's okay! :) I was looking through some pictures and found these of Harley from last year and decided to use them on my blog today. It's her Halloween/First Birthday pics and she is soooo cute in them. Have a wonderful Fall day today!!!!
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Somehow I missed it....
I scan blogs all day - when I'm on hold on the phone, when I am waiting on something to print, when someone is talking to me and it's boring....lol. I even read Shelby's fall questions - but somehow I skipped right over the part where she tagged me. Sorry Shelby...you'll learn that I'm always late. :)
Fall Questions...
1. Do you like Starbucks? I don't drink coffee, give me a Mountain Dew and I am good to go! HOWEVER, when it gets close to Christmas, I usually WILL go to Starbucks for a peppermint hot chocolate! Mmmmmmmmm......
2. How do you decorate and prepare for Fall? I normally go all out - until this year! :( We sold out house about three months ago and are STILL waiting to close on it! So....I don't want to put anything up until we get to the new house - which looks like I am going to go straight into Christmas decorating! And I LOVE my Fall decorations....I'm totally bummed.
3. Will you participate in your college's homecoming activities? Does Calhoun have a homecoming!?!?
4. What is your favorite Fall clothing item or accessory? Boots. But they have to be the PERFECT boots and I have not found them yet. I will probably wear them with everything. I hate finding shoes. Can't find any that please me. UGH!
5. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid? I have absolutely no clue. I never remember what I dressed as. I know I went. I'm old people. Give me a break!
6. Do you like Halloween/Horror movies? No, No, and NO! I remember going on a date with Lee in high school and he wanted to go see a Steven King movie. I don't remember which one. I sat during THE.WHOLE.THING. with my eyes covered. Lee wasn't happy - he said he wasted his money. Duh?
7. What is your favorite Fall activity? I always like to have a BIG pumpkin carving party with my kids and nieces and nephews. I love to camp - which we are doing next week!! YAY!! PERFECT weather. My #1 favorite thing is to go to Gatlinburg though! I need to try to work that in soon!
8. What is your favorite Fall recipe? Definitely 100%....pumpkin dip with ginger snaps!!
Quick questions...
1. What movie coming out soon are you looking forward to seeing? I have no clue!
2. What will you miss most about Summer? My flip flops...I can actually walk in them.
3. When do you start your holiday shopping? When i come up with some money!
4. Favorite exercise/activity? Shopping....but see #3 above.... :)
5. Best book you've read lately? Anything Debbie Macomber.
6. Do you make your bed every day? wow - Cassie and I are alike! Yes, I make it (or at least "straighten" it - but somedays it's not until I start to bed! Just don't like getting into an unmade bed!
7. If you could choose a personal chef or a personal shopper, which would you choose? definitely the chef!
8. Which TV show are you most excited for this Fall? Alabama Football! lol. Seriously - I don't even know what other shows are coming on. I very very rarely watch regular TV.
And I'm tagging Drea, Melissa (who hasn't filled hers out still), and Dustin, and Melia!

Geek Day!
Okay - Geek Day is made for our kids, or at least Kade and Konnor. Check out these pics. And of course one of the Diva - who told me that Divas do not do Geek. You go girl! :)
ETA: The more I look at the picture of Kensley the more I think it should go in the Enquirer. Kensley informed me that she WAS NOT dressing as a geek - that she was going as a ROCKSTAR today. When you look at the picture, it does look like she is a famous rockstar and Melissa is her bodyguard. lol.
ETAA: It's Homecoming week at school - that would be why our kids are dressing up everyday. Yesterday was camouflage day, didn't even think about taking a picture but I can recreate that in a heartbeat and no one will even know. :)

She waited FOREVER....
but I finally got them done! Tallie cheered for Wallace State for two years and at the end wanted some pictures of her in her cheerleading uniform. I am pretty much ashamed to say - but I took them MONTHS ago. She has either been really really patient or she forgot about them completely, she hasn't ask about them one time. Poor thing. I think they are great - she found the PERFECT location for cheerleading pics!!

Coming soon to computers near you....
Slight problem this week - my laptop - which is where I do ALL of my photo editing, etc.....died. Had to wipe it completely clean. It just hit me that all of my actions for my pictures (photography stuff), are gone. I can get them again - but it's going to take me a lot of time. ugh. I shot two sets of senior pictures last week - really.bad.timing. I hope to have every thing back up and running VERY soon. Until then, here is a glimpse of what I will be working on.

Boys....
they are strange little individuals aren't they? Okay - maybe it's just mine. But that kid has an imagination that never gives up! He always has - I remember when he was just tiny, he started talking when he was WAY TOO YOUNG...and he has talked and talked and talked and talked some more ever since! I remember he used to make up these long, outlandish, unreal stories. I would just worry and worry about it. He could make people believe him - and he was probably 2! My mother used to tell me that meant he was going to be smart, because he has a very over-the-top imagination. Well, I suppose that's true. He does do very very well in reading, language, literature, etc. (enough to get moved in the AP classes at school...YAY Kade!) But sometimes, even today, I just sit and watch him and think, "Where in the world does he get this stuff?! And what was it earlier in life that he DIDN'T get that would improve his math? lol. Don't get me wrong - he does well in math, right now. We just tend to struggle a little more than in the other subjects.
Anyway, I tend to blog around pictures that I take. And I definitely want to keep the one above. He went to a movie with his cousins - bless Kyle and Jennifer for taking them, poor souls. It was a 3-D movie - Kade became attached to his 3-D glasses, which he then took the lenses out of. And he wore them for several days after that. THEN he decided they needed blue masking tape in the middle - so he could be a nerd for a day. THEN he decided the glasses needed blue masking tape ALL OVER them. Don't ask - I have no answers.....

On a Roll!
There were just too many great bargains to pass up this week. I spent 3 times what I did before but I am stocked up on MANY things now! Here's the pics (yes I am actually a photographer, no, the pictures don't show it - but it's just way simpler to take pictures with my phone, I can send them directly to my computer that way!) My husband walked in yesterday while I had coupons spread EVERYWHERE trying to get the new ones organized. I think he is now looking for a treatment center. He says I seriously have an addiction. lol. I guess it didn't help when I got home and started staging all of the groceries just so I could take a picture...... :) (But he LOVED the amount I spent!)
In summary - I bought $309.06 worth of groceries and I paid $142.55. I saved $166.51!
I always want to know EXACTLY what other people bought - it's easier for me to plan my own grocery list that way. I can look at other people's list and it will hit me, "OHHHHH - I have a coupon for that!!" So here's mine. It's long. The actual receipt - about 4 FEET long! No joking!!
