Finally got Easter Photos...

Of Olivia.. This is one of my favorite outfits of Olivia's. Her Easter outfit. (another one of my obsessions; clothes for Olivia) Mostly made possible by Olivia's personal fashion designer...LOL. Keri Burkett. 99.99% of the custom clothes Olivia wears are made by Keri. So here is a plug for her. She is AWESOME! Her designs are incredible and you can custom order any design, any size. She is great to work with and super nice!! Keri's number is 573-785-8392 and her email address is allamericankids@sbcglobal.net . She'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

I hope she never outgrows...

Posing for me...She still loves to

and now she comes up with her

own ideas.

Photo Gifts

Make a great gift for any occasion. I have many styles of purses to choose from. Gina Alexander Photo purses are always on the cutting edge. I think I'm addicted to them. REMEMBER: THEY TAKE 6-8 WEEKS to come in. Please order in time for that special occasion.

I also LOVE my new ring of Olivia. I believe you can put a photo on just about anything...Isn't that wonderful!! I have plenty of jewelry to choose from also. Money clips for Father's day are a big hit this year. Please email me if you are interested. I'll get everything listed on my site eventually.

As you can see Olivia had been painting then helping me plant flowers....She's such a good helper...

Time goes on.

I know it has been more difficult than usual getting a hold of me lately.

Many of you already know that on April 15Th, my grandmother passed away. She was 89 years old and still sharp as a tack. She was a very wise and strong woman who lived through many eras and saw many things many of us have just heard about. I remember her telling me about going to the theatre to see the "Wizard of Oz" when it came out in the 30's and when it went from black and white to color you could hear the whole theatre gasp.

She was still the one I went to for advice and she had plenty of it and was usually always right. She was more than a grandmother to me, she was one of my BEST FRIENDS. I am SO blessed to have had her in my life. She was a very classy, old fashioned lady who believed God is the only One who can carry us through, when we can't carry ourselves.

Grandma loved to go go go ....I definitely get this from her. She always said, "If you say "Let's", "I'll say "Go". I have received so much wisdom and love from her over the years and could NEVER thank her enough. I could go on and on.

I know this is such a cliche, but she WILL live forever with me and my sister.

It has been difficult "getting on with life" and I appreciate all of you that have been patient and have sent your condolences. I'm slowing but surely getting caught up.

In the first photo I believe grandma was about 15 years old and the others were taken last September by Joe Craig. He did an AWESOME job of capturing us. I just LOVED the photos and am so grateful I had them taken. My grandma is such a beautiful woman inside and out and will be missed by so many!
