A Capture Life Necklace from Cinnamon Sticks ($42 value)

Wow, Canela is a true inspiration.  She is a mom of six who creates classy, elegant jewelry.  Please, take a moment and visit her Cinnamon Sticks on Etsy.

A spot in an Online Workshop for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements from Mom Tried It ($75 value)

I can’t say enough good things about Kim and her desire to generate more funds through her workshops, so she can capture photos and provide prints for foster children.  Kim is not only a mom to 3 biological children, but she is a foster mom and photographer.  She has combined her two loves and is bringing you an online workshop as a result.

If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but are still struggling to use it to it’s fullest potential take a moment to check out what Kim offers through her workshop.

 There will be three different winners chosen. That means there will be 5 different winners!

I love how you can see all of his freckles and his cute little smile.

Love this sweet photo of Carsyn from his Pirate Party.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷
