A happy {full} heart.

Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.

Wow, what a fun past few days I’ve had! From the mini sessions at the Lina Lounge (ohhhh, so fun! If you missed out this time around, make sure you sign up for next time because it was a blast! I had a great time and the kids were AMAZINGLY cute!) to the Easter services at our church to family time and togetherness to Easter egg hunts with the Ls. 🙂 Super, duper great weekend.


Oh, and we also got some official dates on the {Project} La Tienda trip! Tamara and I will be leaving on June 4 and will stay there until June 11. I am SO excited!!! Beyond excited!  And I hope you have marked your calendars for our fab-awesomely-fun-La Tienda party we’re hosting on April 29th. You have to be there! It’s a great way to support La Tienda, see their jewelry, BUY their jewelry and … drum roll, please!, also MEET RACHEL STICKLEE! Yes, the girl behind it all. Rachel is the gal who came up with La Tienda, the girl that runs everything, the woman that helps the ladies of La Tienda in her daily life, the woman who LIVES in the D.R. with the ladies and oversees the entire La Tienda operations. Rachel is AWESOME. And I cannot WAIT to have her at our party!! I hope she will feel blessed and loved and supported because that’s what we’re all about!

Okay, but on to some sneak peeks for my dear, dear friends and clients, Catherine & Greg. We’ve been working together for a long time now and I really do look forward to more sessions together. It’s just been WAY too much fun working with them so far!

This session was to celebrate their twins’ first birthday. I know we all say this, but wow – can time fly any faster?! I think not. 
Aren’t they too cute for words?

Their momma brought them some special birthday cupcakes … mmmm-mmmm-stuff-your-face-goodness.

and I absolutely love this family image … we were talking about how crazy life is with three kids in the house – especially such young chidren – and how challenging and yet how REWARDING life is in having children. We all agreed we wouldn’t change it for the world!

I think you can read such details in their faces …

I may have to do a sneak peek #2 … so stay tuned! 😉


Also, it is TIME to announce the winner of this past week’s giveaway, hosted by Perfect Details!!!! I think you all proved by your wonderful comments that you love Angela’s handmade bags just as much as I do! (In fact, I have to admit that I have already ordered FOUR items from her and I’m tempted to order more!!!). Don’t forget that 10% of all sale proceeds will be donated to La Tienda, so there you go. Another excuse (beyond the fact that the bags and purses are GORGEOUS!) to purchase something from her store!

Okay, using a random number generator …… the winner is 


#5 – Tiffany Stewart – who wrote: “I have to say my favourite is the one on GIGI’s blog cream bag with blue flowers. would love to have it over my shoulder at the beach this summer!!”


Congratulations,, Tiffany! Shoot me an e-mail and  I will hook up up with your winnings!!!! And a big thank you to Angela, my super duper amazing sister, of Perfect Details for hosting such a FAB giveaway! 


P.S. Stay tuned for another {Project} La Tienda auction coming to a blog near you!!! Um, yeah, I mean, THIS blog. Right. Okay, you got that? Okay. Cool. So check back soon!
