2009-04-30T15:58:00.000-07:00

OK so most of you know i have been crazy busy well this is one of the reasons why :)... HARIZING, www.harizing.com this is the product that I do product Photography for.

There are copy cats to this product but nothing can take the place of this genuine product that's quality can't even be compared to. You can't beat their customer service and product guarantee that other knock off company doesn't have a guarantee that should tell you something!!!!

Here is one of the lovely models ..lol.. my daughter who is 3 so anyone can wear this product!!! All ages and hair types , but only Hairzing sells combs for the different hair types because after all we are not one size fits all !!! go visit them today at www.harizing.com they really are the perfect solution to a new hair style , dressing up or casual they have different ones to fit all your needs.

I personally have been wearing them for over a year now and still get compliments when I have them in my hair. I have worn them to weddings, on the job, out to eat, and even to the gym I am telling you they are awesome!!!! Hairzing you ROCK!!!

My awesome new product!!!

2009-01-24T11:45:00.000-08:00

The Finao album
this very classy, just exquisite album is finally here and put together :)

I will admit this album won't be for everyone!! Its not cheap but if you are looking to have a personalized very impressionable album ... this is the one!!! They come in a variety of sizes but i am currently offering it in 5x7 if you interested in other sizes please inquire.

This album comes in a ton of different covers and each one can have its very own look!!
From the cover to the photos no one will have an album like yours!

so here is what my sample looks like...

as you can see that each page can have a different color background or just a frame :

here is a side by side example of the full images with just a frame or images on a page with design:

either way you can't go wrong!! The are awesome!!

In loveing memory of Jacklyn

Today my 22year old cousins will be buried in San Antonio TX. I couldn't imagine how my Uncle Tim, Aunt Sherry and Jon are feeling today as they lay to rest their daughter and sister. I pray God's peace and understanding be with them on this most horrible day of their life. I haven't seen Jacklyn in I think 4 years you never know when the last time you will see someone! Make sure people know you care!

Proclamation Establishing Thanksgiving Day

October 3, 1863

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

A. Lincoln

I hope that everyone stops to give thanks today unto God for where we are and what we have and the family that is with us! ... I would give anything to hear a President of the United States of America speak like that again! How can we take credit for the great things we have ... we have because God has given to us! Wise man that Abe :)...
