Look close to see some of the changes I have made....like the little girls face was replaced with another photo of her, her hair and make up were given a little lift, husbands teeth were whitened, and more....

If you are interested in having a photo or photos edited please email your picture you what you would like done. I will send you an invoice via email and you will receive a proof of your photo in 24-48 hours.

I make small enhancements to most photos on my Christmas cards but if you would like a photo detail edited it will be an additional 5$ for each picture. Changing photos to black and white and sepia is free. Thanks you all so much for all of your orders! It sure keeps me busy but happy! Thanks!

Christmas is in the air...

Will work for babies!

I love design so much. It has been my passion for along time but I always thought I would just graduate with a degree in Advertising and hand my diploma on the wall and be done with that. Maybe make a few Christmas cards for our family and play with my blog. I didn't think I would open my own little business even though I wanted to because I was going to have a billion kids. A couple months after I got married we got pregnant with my son! I was so excited! When he turned one we started trying for another baby...6 months went by and I started to wonder why I was not prego yet. Then a year went by.....still no baby. Now it has been 25 months. We started going to our Dr. and he assisted us for a year then we started going to a specialist in August. I have PCOS. We are doing all the clomid, shots, IUI's etc. and it is expensive! Our insurance pays for some things which helps but it is still expensive. I had no idea how we were going to afford all the treatments and tests so one night I got on my knees and prayed my heart out asking if we were supposed to pursue fertility treatments and if we were, to provide a means to do it. That same month I decided to open my own shop. I really didn't think it would help much financially but it has paid for all of our treatments and tests and then some. I know that my Heavenly Father is aware of me and all of us and loves us all more than we can even imagine! I feel so blessed to see His hand in my life. So I wanted to THANK YOU all for your orders and support of my little shop. Its going towards a good cause.......
