A big thanks to The Verve Pipe!

I am so glad to have my site up! I have been working on it for at least a month and it is a weight off of my shoulders to have it done. A little back story...

I decided I wanted music on my new site. My husband wasn't sold on this. But he humored me as I talked about it. I could NOT find the right song. I must have listened to hundreds of songs that I could get permission to use or royalty free music. But nothing was right. In my mind I kept thinking of this song on a kids album that my three and I started listening to online at the end of last year. There was this one song that was right. The problem was it was a song by The Verve Pipe. I mean seriously, how would I even get in touch with them? But... as time went on I just couldn't find anything that was as perfect as that one song. I couldn't even find anything that came close. So, I asked my husband how I would get in touch with a band to ask to use their music (he knows WAY more about music than I do). He gave me some suggestions. I found an e-mail address for The Verve Pipe and decided to go for it. I e-mailed and asked if I could use it for my new site. I called my husband and told him I had sent the e-mail and I hoped that I would hear back. At this point he asked who the band was. When I told him he chuckled and asked if I had a back up plan... they were kind of a major band and might not even own the rights to the song.

But I kept my hopes up and I worked on my site. And last Friday I got an e-mail from The Verve Pipe's manager. And we worked it out. I got permission to use the ONE song I wanted for my site!

So check it out here. If you like the song, check out the album. You can listen to it and buy it here:

My kids love all of the songs and I enjoy them too! Even my husband had to admit that if I'm going to have music on my site that this is a good song for it.

It's up!

Whew! It's up. Check out my new site here. I'm sure I will be tweaking it over the next few weeks; but YAY, it is up! Let me know what you think. :-) Oh, and now I will start working on changing my blog... I'll hold off on setting a deadline for now though. ;-)

I missed my deadline...

Obviously, I missed my deadline. The weather here on Sunday was sunny and warm - almost 70! So... I decided that since I am my own boss I could extend my deadline if I needed to and I took the kids to the zoo. It was a fabulous day and the kids had a blast. I still thought I would have enough time on Monday to get it finished; but then I had car trouble and that ate up too much time.

My new deadline is by tomorrow night (2/24) and I'm on schedule to be done! I can't wait for everyone to see it, sorry for the delay.

It's coming, my new site that is.

I know I've been talking about it for a while now; but it really is coming. My goal is to have my new site up by MONDAY! By putting it out here I now have a deadline to be held to. I am very excited about the new look! Remember, along with the site will come my new pricing. If you book before I roll all of it out you will get my current pricing until your gallery expires (30 days after it is posted), so call or e-mail me now to book a date!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope that you all have a great day and get to spend it with your loved ones!
