i havn't had my camera out for ages now. sure, it's been used around the house … lots in fact. but i havn't taken my camera outside for photos in about 2 months now. and these happened so randomly. i was putting up the girls hair for soccer practice (yes, you read right … indoor…

i was going to print these out and cut them up and stick them in a bowl and have my girls draw 2 names … but then so many of you left comments … and that seemed like a lot of work. and i'm sure you all know how lazy i can be when it comes…

thought i would share the card i designed for the make and take event this weekend at picture me perfect. it was a fun and crazy night. 9 make and take tables … and 3 hours to get them done. i have to admit i was a little nervous … as this was really my first time doing anything…
