Spiva Family Portraits

Hello all! This weekend I had the privilege taking some family portraits of some old family friends. Over the past few years, we have lost touch. It was really nice to see everyone and catch up and it was an honor to get asked to do this for this family.

St. Patrick's Week

Hello friends! I cannot believe that it has been two months since my last post. I have been keeping myself busy with different clients from design/layout to personal training clients.
My sister and I decided that St. Patrick's Day is somewhat overlooked as a holiday, so we have decided to celebrate it all week long. We are going to be wearing green all week, listening to Celtic music all week, watching Irish themed movies all week and eating green food. Here are the Shamrock cookies I made for this week, Thursday you will see a Shamrock cake.


Talk to you soon! Happy St. Patrick's Week!

Snow Day!

Hey all! So there is nothing like snow to bring the kid out in everyone. It has continued to snow on and off all day, not like it had over night but still. So inspired by today's snow day, I created a snowflake "Thank You" card. I had made one of the snowflakes in a tutorial from another designer's blog, Veerle.


Enjoy the snow if you have it! Talk to y'all later!

Another Christmas Gone, A New Year Is Almost Begun

Hey all! Sorry for not writing for so long, it's been a bit mad here this week. I hope that everyone had a fantastic Christmas. I had a wonderful one, and what made it so special was that I had my first White Christmas. I couldn't believe that the snow/ice lasted in my yard until today (two days shy of being a whole week). I have been listening to one of my Christmas presents all week. My sister bought me the new Josh Groban album. This is a must have in your music collection. Go out and get it.

As I tried to think of what some of my New Year's Resolutions could be, I had to start counting my blessings. Have any of you seen Rodger's and Hammerstein's "White Christmas"? If so, do you remember Bing Crosby's character singing the "Blessings" song to Rosemary Clooney's character? That song has taken on new meaning in my life this year. Those of you who are close to me know why. We have so much to be thankful for, there are always people out in the world worse off than you. As you enter this new year, think of all your blessings and be thankful for all that you are blessed with.

2 More Days Until Christmas

Hey all! I know its been a week since I was last on, sorry about that. Getting ready for Christmas and working on some freelance projects has been keeping me busy the last week. There is a major reason I like getting all my Christmas shopping done before November...Traffic! My sister and I went in town the other night for her to pick up a few last minute items. Traffic was insane. How come one of the most festive and joyous times of the year creates such rudeness and disdain in the hearts and actions of men? I feel sorry for these people, because letting that into their hearts and actions robs Christmas from not only them but others. My Christmas Wish is that these people remember the true meaning of Christmas and the season. To borrow an analogy from a movie I saw on GMC, "Remember, Christmas starts with a 'Capital C.'"

Off to finish baking cookies with my mother. Talk to y'all soon!!!
