So I realized once I came to my blog for this Friday’s fix, that I haven’t blogged in a WEEK!! Wow, I knew it was bad, but didn’t know it was that bad. I do have a blog-post a’brewin’ but it’ll have to wait. I’m really terribly busy *snerk* or something. Actually I do have a photo-shoot this afternoon with two adorable...

The boys had never experienced a lake like this before and were thrilled with...

The little gal in this week’s “fix-it” picture reminded me of the Bobby Darin song about “Little Annie” making artificial flowers. Don’t know why, that’s just what came to mind. She’s a cutie for sure!! This is the original picture. Because of the above mentioned song, I was going for more of the vintage-y look...
