These just cracked me up!!! I’m a little worried some of you may be too young to know the songs, though.

Here are a few springtime images that will surely brighten your day – Tessa is so adorable that she makes me smile every time I look at these images!

Made this last evening – so easy and FAST! Great for ballgames, or munching on the patio with an ice cold drink.

Cinnamon Pretzel Nuggets

2/3 c vegetable oil

1/3 c. sugar (or splenda)

2 tsp cinnamon

16 oz bag of pretzel nuggets (the cheaper the better!)

Spread out pretzels in a baking dish. Mix oil, sugar, & cinnamon  & pour over pretzels; toss to coat. Microwave for 2 minutes, stir, then another 2 minutes. Let cool & store in airtight container.

The economic situation in this country right now is, shall we say,  full of uncertainty.  I am so appreciative of all of my great clients who continue to make whatever adjustments they need to,  in order to make Casual Moments Photography images of their growing families a priority.  It makes me even more determined to provide the kind of value that makes them feel good about their investment!

My lab now offers these ADORABLE little mini-accordion albums with a large choice of cover colors.  They are so cute (Ilove mini-anythings!) and sized just right at 3×3 inches – perfect to tuck in a purse.  Best of all they come in sets of 3,  so you can also give one to the Grandmas!

I know, I know…I’m a little late posting pics of the new house….but it was WAY more work getting moved in and unpacked than I thought it would be. Seriously, I was under the mistaken impression that I had pared down our possesions when we moved to SC from PA a year and a half ago – NOT!!! Plus it has rained like crazy the last month, making our move & last minute work on the house difficult at best and delaying a lot of what we wanted to get accomplished. I still don’t have any pics of the pool, which just got the concrete done on Friday and still needs to be cleaned but I will add those soon I promise. And we are still a few weeks away from finishing the lower level, so that will be a seperate post too.  All in all, I am thrilled with how it turned out and I can’t wait until y’all visit!

Still need the decorative hardware on the garage doors and some shrubs on the front:

The back, or lake-facing side:

Standing in the foyer, the staircase:

The great room:

The Wall Words I had made for the bridge:

Going to put huge pictures of the family up on that transom ledge – has uplighting for that purpose:

View of the breakfast area and the built-in windowseat -

Looking into the kitchen from the breakfast area:

Pendants over the counter:

My office:

Screened porch – the bottom is tempered glass, so as not to obstruct the view:

One of the guest rooms:

Another guest room, with the headboard that my neighbor Cheryl embroidered for me & I built:

Closer look at the foyer light fixture from the bridge, which I love – more photos will go in those dormers:

We are all moved into our new house! Well, put it this way – all of our stuff has been moved into it and we are officially living here. Many thanks to our daughter Nicole and son in law Steve, our friends Sharon & Mike as well as Tony who worked like demons and got everything done in the pouring rain! We are unpacking this week and doing some last minute jobs, but it is getting pretty livable already. Internet, phone, and cable won’t be connected until Monday (grr…and that was a fight!) so anyone who is waiting for orders, etc rest assured that I will be back at it as soon as I can! I’ll post pics when the computer is up and running. Thankfully my Blackberry has served me well, as well as Facebook!

PS. I’m posing from my neighbor’s computer
