PART 1:
I LOVE this collection! I decided to order some 8×10′s and some 5×5′s from the lab last week……they are beautiful! Now I just need to frame the 8×10′s….
I am also using these for Album templates in jlee albums and finao albums….gorgeous!!!!!
so..i asked my incredibly talented and artistic friend, JANA to sketch me a photo of ethan–based on one of his referral pictures. For Gracen’s baby shower, she had given me a beautiful drawing of Gracen’s referral picture….so I commissioned her to do one for little man…
Oh to have a gift like this! I would LOVE to be able to take a pencil and create something like this. She’s amazing! If you are looking for some commissioned art—-contact her! Also–take a peek at her blog—her and her husband JUST got home from Ethiopia with their new baby girl, Ruthie—so beautiful…so precious….and a gift from the Lord. You can contact her through her blog here:
Jana’s blog
And her etsy store here: Jana’s ETSY
thanks sweet friend. it’s already matted, framed and hung! I adore it and it’s a treasure I’ll cherish always.
thank you………….
I wish I could hug and take pictures of sweet little ruthie…..
We put up the tree on friday—can you believe Christmas is in only 19 days? I can’t believe it is already December…..
just a quick snap of g in front of the tree tonight….

g loves the tree! today was a fun advent party with the children in our church. She loved doing all the activities–(me too!)….
now if only sweet ethan was here…..
Please continue to pray for us as we wait for the court hearings.
this was such a fun session with M. We went to a nearby park which made for some gorgeous scenery. Such a privilege to be able to shoot some photos of her.
Here’s some faves from the session….
