A Magical {Tea} Party …

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

I groggily woke up this morning to discover that my three year old Tarzan Jane had drawn all over her sister’s white dresser, the white closet door, and the white counters and walls in the bathroom with a purple, somewhat staining marker. 

 

SERIOUSLY?  

 

Does anyone have some great cleaning tips because I have tried scrubbing and it is NOT coming off …. it HAS to come off though. Mr. Clean magic erasers? I hope. 

Okay, onto a happy note …

I had a fabulously fun session with little Grace & her mom and dad- Grace has such spunk and is quite the little person already! Soon, she will be sharing her mom and dad with another wee baby … can’t wait to find out if you are having a sister or brother! 

 

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this image of Gracie – ohhh, what a cutie!

Mom specifically asked for purple flowers – so we found some! Not a problem – even if it was in a ditch off a highway (yikes!) …

Soooo sweet …. (sigh) …

What’s more magical that a tea party in a field of clover, dressed in your finest tutu? Nothing, I tell you. Nothing. I just LOVE this image … a true girlie childhood moment …

And a new adventure awaits them with the expectation of baby #2 – my guess? Girl. What do you think?

Tara, I sooo loved our session together! Can’t wait to unveil your full gallery!

Amber – I adore the new photos!!! Your work just blows me away every time! On a side not…Gillian, it looks like your daughter has that same naughty streak in her that my daughter has these days. This morning she empty the contents of a brand new tube of tooth paste all over the ottoman while I was getting my baby dressed…{sigh}. Magic eraser works wonders 🙂

Jenn – Great shots! What you need for that marker is a Melaleuca product called Sol-u-mel. I have GALLONS of it under my sink if you want some (seriously, you just need a cap-full, it’s all natural, and let me know if you want some!)

Mich – Great photos Gillian, I love the close up of Grace and the tea party pic is so cute!! I wish I had done the tea party with my girls that would have been so precious. Did you get my message? Try a product called Goof Off – it works wonders but just test on an area you can’t see first for each piece of furniture so it does not strip the wood. Ally did this with a silver marker on my hardwood stairs & it came off great & then I just washed it with water right away!!!
