Welcome Home Shelby

Yes I have been absent for a while, but for good reason!  We traveled to adopt our second daughter from China this past October and although she and big sister have been keeping me busy, they sure have given me the opportunity to get some fabulous photographs.  Okay, I know I'm biased, however considering the fact Miss Kira does not like her photograph being taken and little babe does, it's almost like "monkey see, monkey do"; they each follow one another and I'm so enjoying this ride.

 Taken in Lanzhou, PRC  Wu Ke Xiu became our forever daughter!  

Captured in NJ "Forever Sisters"

I am so in love with these girls!  Each of them now tug at my heart, with unique personalities and giggles that warm you up on the coldest days.  

Now after being home with Shelby for 3 months we are getting ready for her big surgery in Baltimore the end of this month.  It's great to see that she loves American food and has gained weight, so here's hoping she heals just as quick.  

Thanks for peeking in.  For information regarding Bladder Exstrophy (pre-op care, etc) please do not hesitate to inquire.

Pretty Cards made by Me!

Photo #1 Textured Tulip using Chasing Dreams Textures

Photo #2 Purple and Orange ya happy set

Photo #3 Pastel roses on scalloped edging (courtesy of Coffee Shop's Free Downloads)

Photo #4 Same as first photo slightly muted with linen texture

These are perhaps my all time favorite textured flowers I have photographed.  The pastel roses were hidden in another hard drive and I'm so happy I found them.

I have been wanting to make something with them and not just hang them on the wall. So my sweet friend Colleen, from Chasing Dreams Photography gave me this idea.

Why not make cards out of them, so that's exactly what I did and I hope you like them.

The winner will have their choice of one of the four watermarked photos you see.   They will be printed without the watermark of course into a double sided open 5x7 card

THE SET COMES 25 CARDS WITH ENVELOPES

STARTING BID $18.00

AUCTION WILL CLOSE JULY 9TH @ 6PM EST

THANK YOU.
