My Brown Eyed Girls (365-34)

•December 10, 2009 • 8 Comments

I had many opportunities to take pictures of my girls this summer. My sister got married so they all had beautiful white dresses from being flower girls and come to think of it I actually had lots of matching outfits for them! I have tried to calm down a bit when taking their pictures and have learned to just relax or else I’ll just get mad and get nothing! I don’t often get pictures of them all smiling at the same time, I often get them looking away or silly smiles. And I’ve learned to accept that! It doesn’t have to be perfect, just needs to capture who they are at that time in their lives. And sometimes that’s someone who doesn’t smile nice or makes funny faces, or just doesn’t want to co-operate. I have finally finished a bunch of pictures from the summer and I am now in the midst of picking a favorite to get printed to send with the christmas cards and put up on my wall.

I am having such a hard time picking that I would love some help! Here are the pictures I am trying to decide between, let me know which number you like the best! Thanks!

Jordan is gone on a business trip until Friday so I told him that my project while he’s gone is to clean up my desk. I have been very busy and haven’t had time to take care of this so its a big job for me. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Wish me luck! LOL

Some good friends of ours came to the city to visit us this weekend. They had moved to Brandon this summer and we hadn’t had a chance to get out to Brandon to see them since. Luckily they decided to come to the city and we happened to be free. It was great visiting with them and we had defiantly missed playing games with them! They had asked me if I could take a couple of pictures of their family because they hadn’t had a family picture taken in a couple of years. I was happy to do it for them. We took about 15 minutes as thats all the kids would last and the kids did great!

Hehe, I love outtakes!

Thanks for the visit guys! We had such a good time! We miss having you around!

I have been waiting, not so patiently, for my album to get here for a long time. I was so excited when it came in the mail today! Merry early Christmas to me!

These are my swatch tins. You would be amazed at all the colors and textures available!

Isn’t this gorgeous? Even the packaging is unbelievable!

And…….. drumroll please…….. here it is!

This is a handmade album with real leather. The texture is amazing!

I chose a square spine but they also offer a rounded one.

This is the inside cover!

And here are some of the spreads I created.

If you want to see the real thing please let me know because I would love to show it off!

I have been trying to catch up on pictures of my girls from the summer. Yesterday I did these ones. I love the prairie fields and the blue sky. I’m thinking I want to do the second one as a canvas next year.
