"Twas the Night of Thanksgiving"

Hey all! I was helping my Mother sort through some papers today and found a e-mail that my Mother had printed off years ago of a Thanksgiving Poem, by whom I do not have a clue. Thought I would share it as we head into November.

Twas the Night of Thanksgiving

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and bettered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,
With mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees...
Happy eating to all - Pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, may our pies take the prize,
May your thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
May your thanksgiving be blessed!!

Hope you enjoy! Talk to yall soon!

What's playing in my car.

Hey all! For most of this year I have not had anything playing in my car as I drove around. I had the odd craving for music and would put something in once in a while for specific songs, but for the most part the radio and stereo has been off. Today, however, I had the craving for some Josh Turner. For those of you who are not familiar with Josh, Josh is a Country Music Artist originally from South Carolina. So we both are Carolina boys, granted I'm from North Carolina but close enough. So here is my shout out to Josh Turner, keep on with your great music and thank you for also promoting your Christian faith. Huge inspiration man!

Violin Teacher Logos

Hey all! I have taken violin lessons on and off since high school. I love the violin. Out of appreciation for my teacher, I decided to design a logo for her. After I was done with that one, I text messaged a friend of mine who teaches and asked her if she wanted one as well. I believe very strongly in the power of branding to increase your client (or student) listings. Here are the two logos.

Fun Bridal Portraits

Hey all! Wow it has been several weeks since I posted anything. I have been busy with some projects and also finishing up my internship at McKee Foods Inc. I have been applying and interviewing places and I know there is something out there for me. But here are a few of my favorite pictures from a fun photoshoot.

Last spring, I was talking with a couple of my friends and was complaining that it had been a while since I had actually planned a photoshoot and executed it. They told me to go ahead and plan one for them to help with. I agreed and then promptly forgot about it, what a good friend am I right (laughing). Anyway, at the beginning August my friends, with minds like elephants, reminded me that I had promised them a shoot. I immediately got online and started planning this photoshoot at one of my favorite places. I bought two wedding dress, had one given to me, bought three engagement rings and made three bouquets. I roped my beautiful cousin, my gorgeous sister and my stunning friend into modeling for us.
