i’ll take hodge podge for $400, alex

December 2, 2008 By Kelle

so…and yes, i like to start posts with “so”…

…my mind is completely bejiggity lately and i’m taking melatonin to sleep at night because, around 4, i wake up and start thinking about the orders i have to finish and my christmas card and wrapping presents and going to the post office to send stuff and laundry and getting organized and, for the love of pete, when will it ever end?

i have a bunch of cute stuff to post later…like making gingerbread houses and game night and her cowboy boot obsession and all the wonderful things floating around in my mind these days in between the stuff that keeps me up at night (p.s. melatonin works like a dream).

i’ll streamline this as best as i can.

one being…
new fabulous album that’d make a great christmas present. black leather custom design accordian album holds 12 “pages.” offering it complete with design and prints (from a session) for $100. it’s a little bigger than a 4 x 6, and i want twenty of them.
check it out:




and two…this fabulous girl i photographed tonight.

this is leslie.

her parents adore her.

…and so did my camera.

i had an absolute blast shooting tonight. leslie…you are beautiful.

oh, and what the heck. i’ll throw in some of my girl’s boots. she wears them day & night. even with her pajamas. think it’s because she can slide them on and off herself. or maybe because she knows what looks good.

…and we’re watching poppa’s dogs while he’s in key west. the little one she can pick up and carry around, no problem.

whew! think i’m done for now.

…enjoying the a.d.d things. ~k

    i don’t believe you …
    i have never seen a picture of it on this here blog.
    and if i haven’t seen a picture … it isn’t true.
    🙂
    and while you are at it, you could probably devote a gorgeous scrapbook page to it … if anyone can – it would be you.
    (and please don’t ask me to suck it up and show you a picture of my laundry downstairs. it isn’t pretty.)

    it is good to be back on your blog. I agree with Jen. I think you definitely have some superwomanishness. Definitely.

    It is strange that I have missed you and Lainey…maybe not strange but, well, I guess a bit strange seeing that I don’t know you and I am very very excited when you have new posts for me to read when I hop online. Thanks for all the photos and words. Kiss to the universe.
