Busy Busy!!!

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. It has been busy here at the Wertz house. I have photo work to get out. While we were at WDW, a dance school I shoot every year was performing. DH and I photographed their performance. They did a great job. Those photos had to be edited and loaded onto a private album for them.

I was not thinking about how busy I usually am the weekend before Thanksgiving and after with my photography business.... And I had to go to WDW one of those weekends!!!! Oh well! I have 2 parades to shoot this Saturday (thank God I am not doing Santa this year, I just forgot all about that....) and I am getting calls to shoot family portraits this Saturday as well.

In addition to taking down fall decorations, desiring to decorate for Christmas, clean, organize, shop, cook and feed the family, hand tint photographs for customers ( I still hand tint black and white photographs the old fashion way), clean bird cages, feed birds.... I am getting exausted typing this! LOL!

I did get some of my D56 Dickins Village out of the attic and put it onto the top of the kitchen cabinets before we left for WDW and last Friday, I washed our Christmas china and displayed it in our hutch. I always do that first thing.

Oh, and DD and I are making a beautiful bed for Hayward (the Magic Elf) to sleep in. He has not shown up yet. He usually does not show up until we put up the tree and decorate it. It will be nice for him to have a lovely bed to sleep in. We are photographing it as we go along. It is turning out very lovely! Will post when we are through!

We got back from a week at Walt Disney World last night. And boy were we tired after a day in the saddle! We went straight to bed and slept late today. We had a great time! Thanksgiving was a little different for us though.

Unpacking, laundry, cleaning out the car, etc....

My posts from this past week were all 'scheduled' posts and I did not even check email. Too busy. I did not realize that 'Hayward' was in 'locked' album. I have changed it so y'all can see who/what he is. LOL! Just scroll down to see the older post about Hayward and you will see when he arrived.

Check back later today or in the morning for the resutlts for the drawing! Sorry it has taken so long. We are trying to get unpacked, organized, etc. from being out of town for a week. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
From our Home
To Yours.

We have much to be Thankful for.

Love,
