Give Me Your Best Shot-BEST Summertime Photo CONTEST

It's time for Give Me Your Best Shot over at Better In Bulk.

This week's photo is just one of my FAVORITE Summertime Shots. It's my oldest daughter, Alyson Paige, at the State Park/Lake near our house for the first time. It was taken way back in 2007 when she wasn't even walking yet! She's just over a year old here.

The lake has a "beach" with real sand and everything. I just love her shadow and the waves of the sand. It was hard to choose this one over a picture of her daddy holding her, looking down at the "shoreline". That's HIS favorite.

Come join the fun and put up your favorite summer shot or your best shot from this week!

Oh the disappointment....

I'm heartbroken.....

My oldest daughter (a whole 3 years old) will NOT wear the hair bows I make for her. Nor will she wear the headbands I make for her.

She will ONLY wear the hair clips......

Oh, and the worst part is that she tells me I cannot play with her hair.....
the curls I've dreamed of all my life and I can't play with them.
*SIGH*

An Alyson Design!

So on my last clippie creating kick, Alyson asked to "make" one. So I let her design one and I put it together for her. She wanted one with pink buttons and she wanted white ribbon on the clippie.
Cute, huh?
