My open house was amazing!  I wasn't sure what to expect.  I knew people were sick and there were ball games in town, but so many people showed up!  I was tickled pink! 

I gave away several cake pans with my logo on them.  These came from Grafted Tree Engraving in O'Neill http://www.graftedtree.com/ and were awesome!  They came with cookie mixes that Oliver and I had made for his preschool classmates and home made soap from local creator Curie Mincer http://www.alabasterboxsoap.net/.  Next was a custom photo bracelet and a free sitting fee!

Here were the winners!
Large cake pan, cookie mix, soap-Phyllis L.
Medium cake pan, cookie mix, soap-Linda H.
Custom Photo Bracelet-Karla S.
Free Sitting Fee-Brenda D. 
Thanks to everyone for entering the drawings!

My best friend from high school, Jenny, she is amazing, she came on Wednesday and became my nanny/cook/egg picker/lunch room enforcer.  She was everything I didn't know I needed!  Barb & Amelia helped watch the boys.  Mom made curtains.  Dad hung backdrops and pictures.  Perry & Kirk moved snow, several times!  I had other friends drive 4 hours just to visit for the evening! 

Thanks everyone for a wonderful evening!

Let me know what your favorite picture or product was!

About me

*I have had a camera in my hand since I can remember, but didn't get serious about it until I had my babies!

*I have 3 boys-Oliver, Ian & Case

*I love to hunt and read and don't get to do either enough

*I was very blessed to marry into a wonderful and loving family.  They care for me like I didn't know in-laws could.  They are amazing supporters of my work and help me in someway everyday!  I couldn't do it with out them.

*I like to shoot (in the studio) in my socks.  Some days you may see some crazy ones!

*I love antiques and things found at flea markets!

*I love old fashioned peppermint sticks, chocolate covered coffee beans and mocha moolattes from Dairy Queen.  Oh, and I LOVE Taco John's.  I even made a commercial while working at a local Taco John's in High School!
*I think I have a wierd sense of humor.  I am slow to catch onto jokes and I can't tell a joke to save my life.  Well, except for this one.  "One guy walked into a bar.  The other one ducked!"

*In high school I was super involved in FFA.  I was an officer, a parlimentary procedure team member, I gave speeches on Piping Plovers and my favorite of all...my team placed second at State in WELDING!  I am awesome at MIG and OA welding.
*Also in college, I worked as a Soil Survey Tech at the USDA, basically I ground up dirt from all over the world.  It was a "dirty job".

*My college degreees are in Agriculture.  Crops, Diversified Ag, AgEconomics and AgBusiness.

*I met my husband at SCC in Beatrice.  He tried to pick me up while eating Welch's fruit snacks and bragging about going mudding.  I love Welch's fruit snacks, mudding and Perry!

*I am a tomboy, plain & simple.  If I could wear a hat everyday, I would!

*I love trapshooting!
