We headed out to the Botanical Gardens yesterday for the infamous family photo. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and the Botanical Gardens were spectacular. I think everyone had the same idea because I have never seen so many photographers in one place at one time. My sweet friend Alyssa actually took our pictures. She is also the one who designed my website. She too is the mother of three boys, so she knew just how to handle mine. You can check out her work and more of our family pictures on her blog.
I recently painted this plate for a wonderful person who deserves being celebrated! These plates are great to have at parties. The guests sign the plate and you have something to always remind you of the special event. You can actually buy these pens at Michaels or let me know and I can get you one too. The directions are on the pen. They are called Pebeo Pens.
