Absolutely love the paintings that your mom did. I think they are my most favorite.
And number 9 is adorable to. I love how she is posing in that picture. People have such great ideas when it comes to posing. I wish there was a spot in my brain that could think up those poses on the spot....so there for I must say thank you to flikr all the way for all those amazing inspirations....because I normally have to study flickr shots before a photo shoot. Cool shots do come randomly for me though if I have a client who isn't afraid of the lens. That's always awesome.
Ok ... I'm rambling now. Great 10 picks Elsie!!!! Happy Valentines Day!!!

Can you find Pamela's baking mix at any local grocery store ? I love the heart shape pancakes. Is the receipe on the box ?
Posted by: Earsie | February 15, 2010 at 06:24 AM
cute post :) great art.
but one thing i will never understand, why would anyone use a mix to do pancakes of their own?
flour,eggs,milk,sugar,a bit of baking powder-there you go.

Hi Elsie,
I love Pamela's mix too, I use it for most of my baking. If you ever get the chance try Udi's gluten free bread, it's amazing. Not everywhere carries it though, but its online.

#2 kind of creeped me out...

This has been very helpful understanding a lot of things. I'm sure a lot of
other people will agree with me.

Interesting post on your blog. However, I would appreciate if you will give credit to photographers. Or at least if you asked my permission before using my picture (the roses, by the way, in case you don't remember).
