Super Hero Invitation

In stock in the etsy shop (click on the link to the right). This Super Hero invitation features a photo of your little hero edited to look like a comic book. Most of the photos I receive are of children in costumes, but they don't have to be. This invitation is perfect for any Spiderman, Superman, or Captain America party.

There is also a Batman inspired version :)

Coordinating Thank You Cards:






Cupcake Toppers:
Print at home using your ink jet printer and cardstock. Cut out with a 2" round or scallop punch from the craft store :)

Super Hero Poster:
Print at photo lab and frame or just hang at the party!

To purchase the cupcake toppers, poster, or thank you cards, just purchase the "Add On Party Item" listing in the shop and note in the comments section which item you would like.

Valentine's Day

It's been a LONG while since I've blogged, but just wanted to share what we were up to the past few days a free Valentine printable.

When my little guy announced that he was going to hand make each and every one of the Valentine's for his 18 friends at preschool, I was a less than thrilled. Normally I would be all about this, but since I have a newborn here, I don't have much time for arts and crafts each day :) He was so sweet about wanting to make them himself, I couldn't discourage him.

He planned early and started making them two weeks ago, and worked on them a little each day. He was very serious about writing each of his friend's names himself. There aren't many five year olds like him. He is such a little man. I love him so much!




Love his sweet little handwriting on the finished products :)

I guess his enthusiasm inspired me, because I decided to make up some little treats to go with them. At his preschool, a lot of the other kids are always bringing little candy and gifts for the holidays, and I am usually kind of a slacker when it comes to that. A friend of mine who had brought us dinner after the baby was born included this delicious s'mores snack mix as the dessert, so I decided that would be a good treat for the kids. Here are the treats we made up:




I made up the bag toppers in Photoshop and they are available for download here.


The S'mores Snack Mix:
1 box of Golden Grahams Cereal
1 Package of Miniature Marshmallows
1 Package of Milk Chocolate Chips (We used Hershey's)

Mix together.

We added some cute Heart Shaped Marshmallows we found just for fun.

Just scoop some S'Mores snack mix into sandwich size zipper baggies, print the toppers on cardstock, cut out and fold in half, and staple to the top of each bag. Super simple and super cute :)

Christmas Card Photos

Have your cards picked out, but still don't have a family photo? I still have a few openings for family and children's sessions in November. Weekends are very limited at this point, but there are some time slots available. I can do weekdays as well. Contact me at 615-364-3807 or mel7064@comcast.net.

You also may be wondering what happened to all the portraits on the blog. I have moved them to a separate photography blog, where they can be viewed in a larger format. All the latest sessions are there. Look to the right of the screen for a link to the photography blog.
