I was fortunate enough to meet Raychelle and her beautiful family this past summer at her sister's wedding that I shot (Clarissa and Chris Agard).  It was so nice to see them again and be able to spend time with them! The boys were so  darling! LOVE this family!  Hope you guys have a wonderful Holiday season! Julie

It has really been a very long time since I have blogged, but I have been working very hard getting all of my holiday card templates ready for you to see! There are about 40 to choose from here.  I am offering 5x5 flat and folded as well as 5x7 flat or folded cards.  If you see some flat ones that you like but wish they could be folded (or vice-versa) please let me know!  Chances are I can make it work for ya! Please enjoy the slideshow!  After you view it, feel free to hit the "Browse Gallery" icon to view the cards/info in more detail. Enjoy!

If you are anything like me you try to keep up as much as possible with politics especially when it gets this close to one of the biggest Presidential Elections in history.   More than ever I find myself siding with both candidates depending on what the topic is.  Some issues are so skewed and confusing I'm afraid to answer either way thinking I might answer wrong.  I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag yet but let's just say this is the first time I am not voting for the party I am registered for but I'm voting for the candidate I agree with on the important and controversial issues. I've really been trying to study up on the current issues to help me make an educated decision and I stumbled upon one of the coolest sites.  http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html It's actually a really fun tool even if it doesn't help in your decision it's a great conversation starter among friends and family.  There's lots of these calculators out there and I don't want to get into any debates about weather it's biased or not but just take it for what it is.  What I really liked about this site was that if you click on the topic it will give you a good explanation of what it's all about so you can make a justified decision on issues like "Kyoto Protocol".  Sounds like the title of the next James Bond movie..... And to top it off.......I can't go without posting a link to last Saturday's SNL skit with Sarah Palin

During one of my late night editing sessions I stumbled across this hilarious youtube video below. This video totally reminded me of the little bit of Spanish I learned from my first semester in high school!!! Every one of us has "that friend" that tries so hard to speak Spanish on vacation in Mexico......Tim, this video's for you! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngRq82c8Baw
