This week’s theme is Raise Your Hands. 
I loved this shot the second I took it.

Now I need to get ready to work. Yes, we have school today. I don’t mind it since we are out the whole week of Thanksgiving. I like that trade.
Oh, I’m out of the blogging habit and going to jump back in with an IHeartFaces challenge. A photo that emphasizes white and is not black and white. Hmmm….. This reminds me of when my youngest brother was about 4 and going through an all white phase in clothing. He only wore clothes, shoes, hats, and anything else that was white. It was better than his all nude phase.

I am going to try to get back into the swing of things around here. No better way than an IHeartFaces challenge.
I’m not crazy about props but one that I’ve always loved is a couch. I looked for a long time and then Rod found this one. Bonus: It was pretty much free and is in perfect shape.

We did these pictures in December and I’ve not had a chance to do more. I have a few more families who want some on these and when the weather cools down here, I’m all over it!
Check out the other props in IHeartFaces. You may get some great ideas yourself.
I would have to use a wedding photo this week no matter what the theme is! It was beautiful and amazing. We’ll both write more later, but months of planning dragged by and then in the blink of an eye….she took off down the aisle.
So, I am entering this shot as soft and sweet.
Check out the soft and sweet at IHeartFaces this week.
This week at IHeartFaces, the theme is Pets. That should be a no brainer for us, considering the vast amount we have. Instead, I decided to use one that reminds me of an old pet of ours.
One winter when there was a bad snowstorm, one of Dad’s cows had a calf on the creekbed. He couldn’t save the cow but got the calf and brought it home. In our most creative power we could muster, we named the calf Snowy.
Snowy was bottle fed and lived in the yard like a dog for a while. She grew quickly and thought she was a dog. We fed her treats of cookies and muffins and could recognize our voices before she ever saw us. Mom demanded she be moved after a few episodes of being chased around the yard.
The thing about Snowy is that even many years later, she knew our voices and expected a treat. She had many calves and lived a long life for a cow. When she passed (from cancer), we all cried and weren’t really surprised that we had 2o years worth of funny stories about a cow.
This cow is one of her grandbabies and reminds me of her, minus wanting a treat. She is sweet though because I didn’t use a zoom to get this shot. I was right in her face!
