This... just made my day.

This is a comment left on one of the sneak peek photos I posted from a shoot.  I love Facebook because I can stalk and see what others think about my photos... people I don't know so they don't feel the need to be nice ;)The comment was left by the "daddy's" sister:I LOVE THIS PICTURE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PICTURE IN THE HISTORY OF PICTURES EVER...

I always wonder... what did I do!?

So most of you know the departmental "smack down" we had before the end of the school year and you know how we found out that someone was being ignored and mistreated for no reason at all.  I consider this person my friend and mentor-- I've shared many things with her.  So, after that meeting I knew she was upset and I told her to meet with...

Hermanito is here!!!

Hermanito came in a box today and the only thing keeping me from spending quality time with him is that I didn't get a chance to buy thread and fabric just yet.   It's good I didn't have all that on hand so I could do my niece's photo edits... but, there's always tomorr...
