Didee said:

Such a gorgeous page using the collection! I love the m
irrors in your family room too!! Thank you for the chance to win this amazing collection! xo

Congrats Didee! 

Email me your info and we will get the Home Front collection sent out to you! I know you will love it!

Thanks to everyone for all of the really sweet comments about our family room and the mirrors! Who knew that you all would love those mirrors so much! 🙂 To answer your questions — The mirrors are from Ikea and I believe they still have them. And they weren't too hard to hang actually… lots of measuring and checking all of my marks with the level before I actually hung them to make sure they would be straight and even. And if you can believe it I hung them by myself! It was a little scary up there on the ladder but you see I have this flaw in my personality where once I decide I want to do something I have no patience and I want it done NOW because I get too excited, which usually means that I don't even wait for my husband to get home to help me…. and you think I would learn my lesson but I keep doing it — like when I hung the cabinets in my scrapbook room by myself and when I put up the tile backsplash in our kitchen…. I must be a glutton for punishment or maybe I just need to learn a little patience! 🙂 Silly me!

I am super busy editing photos trying to catch up and get everyone's proofs done… I will try to post sneak peeks as I go! Here are a few from a newborn shoot I did last week…. 2 adorable little girls!

(All four photos edited with my Urban Action at different opacities from the Color Mix Set.)

Oh and one more thing…. Have you seen the sneak peeks for December's kits over at Studio Calico? I just finished up my project using the Woodwinds project kit…. If you like the Making Memories Vintage Findings products then you will love this kit! At first I wasn't sure what I would do but I love how it turned out! Can't wait to share the whole thing with you! Here is a little peek….

Project kit sneak

Oops, I know I said one more thing but there is actually something else I just thought of…. I am working on some upcoming tutorials for Studio Calico and would love your input. Is there anything that you would like to see a tutorial on? It can be something you have seen me do on a layout or a project or something photography related or even something that you haven't seen me do. What techniques are you dying to try or would like more info about? Let me know by posting your comment here and your ideas may just turn into a tutorial! Thanks in advance! Can't wait to hear from you! Have a great day!!

    Mrs. Maggie Holmes you are one talented lady! Mirror hanging and all. Would love to see those self-hung scrapbook cabinets…;). As for your tute question you are a phenomenal photographer. I don’t even know where to begin. My skills amount to a) Point and b) Shoot. Any knowledge you could partake for us newbies or scaredies would be great. Also what is this thing called p h o t o s h o p. Never heard of it (kidding – it scares me).
    I know those are probably very broad and general questions (are they even questions – HA). I am mostly interested in different effects you can get with a simple point and shoot and changing the tone of a photo. For example many of pics of my son are during bright light times of day, the pictures look almost too bright I am interested in toning them down a bit. Reverse for darker photos.
    When I think of more questions I will post. Oh wait one more…can you share a little bit of how you started in photography. Equiptment, kinds of sessions, classes or books, online etc. Sorry just curious.
    Thanks muchly.
    You are a rock star!

    Hi Maggie!
    I love your work and look forward to taking your class in Jan. Question for you and I hope you can help me out. I have all of your actions and i love them. But Im afraid that Im not using them right. When you have time can you make a tutorial about them? I read what you had posted on the Studio Calico blog but is it just as simple as clicking play? Can you use it on just certain parts of the picture? Like the background use vintage then a chair use the color pop?
    Your baby photo above can you give me some tips on how you achieved those effects? Did you changes the color of the chair to the bright baby blue? How did you make the pink head band pop out too? Your background looks like you used your urban actions.
    I would love to learn how you editted your picture above.
    Thank you so much!!!

    Thanks for the ideas you write about through this web site. In addition, several young women exactly who become pregnant usually do not even aim to get medical care insurance because they worry they probably would not qualify. Although a lot of states right now require that insurers produce coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Fees on most of these guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when thinking about the high cost of medical care it may be some sort of a safer way to go to protect the financial potential.

One other thing I would like to say is newer computer operating systems are likely to allow much more memory to be used, but they furthermore demand more memory space simply to operate. If one’s computer can not handle more memory plus the newest software program requires that memory increase, it can be the time to buy a new Laptop. Thanks

    Thanks for helping me to obtain new concepts about computer systems. I also hold the belief that one of the best ways to help keep your notebook in perfect condition is to use a hard plastic-type material case, or shell, that will fit over the top of your computer. These types of protective gear are model distinct since they are manufactured to fit perfectly across the natural casing. You can buy them directly from owner, or from third party sources if they are available for your notebook computer, however not every laptop may have a shell on the market. Just as before, thanks for your tips.

To do that you have got to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit history. That should really not be difficult, considering that the government necessitates that you are allowed to get one free of charge copy of your own credit report on a yearly basis. You just have to check with the right persons. You can either browse the website for the Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the major credit agencies straight.

    Thanks for the advice on credit repair on this site. A few things i would offer as advice to people is to give up the mentality they will buy at this moment and pay out later. As a society many of us tend to do that for many issues. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we want. However, you must separate your wants from the needs. When you are working to raise your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you may shop online to economize or you can turn to second hand retailers instead of costly department stores to get clothing.

One can install two RAM memory boards with 1GB each, by way of example, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should look for the company’s documentation for the PC to ensure what type of memory space is required.

    I have observed that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate exchange, a commission rate is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the commission payment. Rather, they try to earn the commission by simply doing an agent’s work. In accomplishing this, they commit their money along with time to perform, as best they could, the duties of an real estate agent. Those jobs include displaying the home through marketing, delivering the home to buyers, developing a sense of buyer emergency in order to prompt an offer, organizing home inspections, dealing with qualification assessments with the loan company, supervising fixes, and assisting the closing of the deal.

    One thing I’d like to discuss is that fat burning plan fast can be carried out by the suitable diet and exercise. Your size not just affects the look, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, and physical skills are damaged in extra weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a medical problem may be the reason. While an excessive amount food and not enough exercising are usually accountable, common health concerns and popular prescriptions might greatly increase size. Thx for your post right here.
