I Heart Faces – Hands

by Deanna on February 21, 2010

I had just the picture in mind when I read that the I Heart Faces Challenge this week was “Hands”. This is from a photo session I did for this mom and daughter near our local library – I think this was one of my favorite images from that session…

BlissDom – the Swag!!

by Deanna on February 19, 2010

One of the best parts of BlissDom is the swag friendships you make. It would be an amazing experience even without the goodies – no really!!

This year the goodies started before we even left for the airport – Blissdom’s main sponsor, ConAgra, sent us a package with fun items for those we left at home – coupons for lots of free food (including Blue Bunny Ice Cream – YUM!), popcorn with a big bowl to serve it in, and one of Hallmark’s fun musical cards – mine played the chicken dance…over and over and over…

Once again, our  bags at BlissDom came from Land’s End – thes have to be the most durable, handy bags on the planet – I use mine for everything!! Inside was a treasure trove of treats – a beautiful necklace from Lisa Leonard and The Vintage Pearl, dogtags and labels from Mabel’s Labels, makeup from covergirl, candy, yummy new socks, chips, gift certificates, a Harry Connick CD…we were definitely spoiled.

I do have a few goodies for you too – courtesy of my friends at The Hip Hostess and Lee Jeans – Lee has provided me with several of their “Curvy” (read:plus size) jeans to try and I love them! They are the best fitting jeans I have tried in a long time. Debbie at The Hip Hostess is as gracious (and Hip!) as the name of her Aprons implies – I own at least 4 of her gorgeous aprons, and it’s easy to see why -

This one is  called “Melon Splash” – perfect for spring- and it’s even cuter in person!

So, my lucky chickies, Lee is offering you 20% off any order til February 28th at Lee.com by using the code BLISS20 – make sure you try the fit finder too to determine the right style and fit for your shape!

And The Hip Hostess is offering 15% off by using the promo code GETHIP at checkout – make sure you check out the Cherries print - it looks fabulous over jeans and a cute tee!!

BlissDom 2010

by Deanna on February 16, 2010

I don’t even know where to begin – how can you put into words all the many squeezes my heart felt in such a short period of time? How could I know that one of my dearest online friends would introduce me to the sister I never knew I had and my hair twin (and owner of the BEST blog name ever!)?

 

Or that a man with a red rubber ball could make me rethink so much about parenting, life and even blogging?

…that I would get to hang out for a bit with one of the most amazing writers/photographers/moms I know?

Or that I could feel like a 15 year old giggling girl just by being within 2 (TWO!!!) feet of this guy:

It was a joy to see faces I knew from last year, and to see new faces too – there never seemed to be enough time to sit and talk, even though that’s all we did!

I also lucked out in the roommate department again this year – I had the hysterical, smart, and truly lovely Stiletto Mom as my roomie -

Can you stand the fabulousness??? In case you live under a rock, that is Miss Alli kissing my roomie, and is the fabulous behind the BlissDom Conference along with Barbara and Paula. They gave us an inspiring, wonderful weekend, and I am insanely grateful they chose to include me again this year.

NEXT UP – Shwag, the photography workshop, love for ConAgra and who the heck is George Duran?
