Monday Carter Edition #45~Wildwood Farm

We interrupt the 12 Day's of Christmas to bring you Monday Carter...

...who had a pretty fabulous weekend. We found out from some friends that there were farm tours going on all over the island. One of them was a local Horse Farm called Wildwood and it was beautiful...

We knew this would be right up Carter's alley because she is really into horses right now....

It was the perfect day to walk around a beautiful place and just say "hi" to lots of amazing animals...

I am really touched that Carter has already fallen in love with horses. Maybe it is a phase every kid goes through, but when we were little we actually had a jar that we would save money in so that one day we could buy a horse. There is something just a little bit magical about them...

They definitely bring a smile to this little munchkin's face...

And these two cuties bring a smile to mine...

I think I'll keep them...

And, the horses weren't the only thing vying for Carter's attention, she made another friend as well...

There were plenty of places to snap a cool photo...

And of course the icing on the cake was a ride on this little pony named Giant...

You couldn't have wiped the smile off her face if you tried...

I can't think of a better way to spend a crisp fall day...

surrounded by nature...

striking a signature pose...

as the Autumn leaves change color around us...

hanging with the one's I love most...

Practically Perfect in every way...

The End.

Christmas is Coming!

I hate that aisle at the supermarket. You know, the one that is always just a little too early when it comes to celebrating the next holiday? Well, at the risk of being "that aisle", I'm excited to announce a new line of Christmas Cards on my design site Scoop!

It's a fun little collection I've put together called "The 12 Designs of Christmas". Over the next 12 days I will be debuting a new design here and at Scoop until they are all revealed! I will then hold a contest and the winner will receive the card of their choice.

In the past I have done individualized custom cards but, in the interest of simplifying the process for everyone involved, I will be doing things a bit differently this year. It will be as easy as choosing the design you like, emailing me your photo, and any family information you would like to include. I will then personalize the card and send it to you in JPEG format for you to have printed however you like (there will be printing tips on Scoop for anyone who may need them). For a flat fee of $30 you will have a custom design that you can send to as many people as you like. You could even attach it to a "Merry Christmas" email if you're running short on time! Sounds easy right? Who says Christmas has to be stressful!?

So stay tuned for the next couple of weeks and let me know what you think of the new designs. I'm hoping you'll find them Merry & Bright!
