With the warm weather approaching, and for some us its already here, our little ones are begging to go to parks, the zoo, or just in our backyards to play, play, and play!! Playdates, and other spontaneous fun-filled adventures are a fun way to gain social interaction for our children. But have you ever been to the park, and your child makes friends with the other children… the other moms realize that you all get together more often, and you go to your purses rummaging through old receipts to use as paper to write down your contact information…only to realize that you don’t have a pen either. Business people have business cards, high school seniors have 411 or rep cards….adults have calling cards…well, kids should have “mommy cards” {daddies too!!}…
These fun little cards are totally custom made….the inspiration is to create adorable little mommy cards, with matching cute greeting cards to announce the beginning of spring!!! Contact me for some playdate fun!!

celebrating 75 years

Recently I was asked to put together a 75th birthday party announcement for Lorraine…. To just provide the intended guests with a “plain jane” announcement with party details would have not done this wonderful lady’s justice for all that she has accomplished throughout her 75 years….so, I got together with her daughter, Liz, and we started to rummage through her past and present….finding old photos that needed to scanned and slightly restored…finding memories that were once forgotten. Each historical image was a story to be told and everyone coming to the party NEEDS to hear Lorraine’s wonderful stories!!! So I’ve put together an accordian card announcment providing a wonderful timeline of Lorraine’s 75 years….this is just a peek….more to come later….

Spring is soon…

Happy New Year….

Denise Olson — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:44:11 +0000

Happy New Year everyone….
This year was full of many events….
~Jackson was diagnosed with Autism in Feb ‘09 and has since undergone many therapies and is currently enrolled in a wonderful preschool with children specializing with his similar condition….despite the diagnosis, he is the MOST social animal alive and so full love; soccer camp is next in line…
~Maddie started preschool and has been loving it. She recently started ballet and tap dancing and is learning to become the glorified princess she wants to become…
~Derrick graduated from high school, got a scholarship to play football for West Liberty University and played as a freshman for the team, which ended their season being one of the top 8 teams in the country….quite an accomplishment…going strong, he has already begun training for the next season…
~Keith took on a new opportunity and decided to work for a public profitable company, Life Technologies. Although on the road much of time, he loves what he does because he is one of the best at what he does…he turned 40 this year…
~the loss of both of my grandmothers was sad, yet both sustained a huge life of over 90 years…so proud to say that I’m their granddaughter. They will be dearly missed…
~our families, whether dealing with the loss of loved ones, or fighting battles of illnesses…much was endured and the strength of family helped them through…
~as for me, elected to the board of directors of the PPGBA (www.PPGBA.org), met many new and wonderful friends and reconnected with many, created a brand for my biz and worked diligently on marketing material and a web presence, trying to balance family with work {augh!!!}, and also turned the dreaded 40…

hoping for a prosperous, simplified year….

DVD Slideshow Presentations
I’ve been experimenting with use of video and still photos. As part of my packages, I will customize a slideshow presentation incorporating video clips and photos from your session synchronized to music and special notations. The cost of this package is $250. However, for all clients who purchase session upgrades, you’ll receive a simplified version of a DVD slideshow of only your session’s proofs synchronized to music. Contact me to inquire about about sessions and other products that I provide. In the meantime, enjoy the show of my little blessing…

Dance, dance, dance…

A sneak peek of one of my many album templates. This album will be the creation of Maddie’s first year of dance school. She was so excited just to wear her little outfit, and her “new” tap shoes!!!! Just too cute… Today she learned stance… quite funny considering that at times she looked like a linebacker getting ready to do some Tae Bo. But she does has the flexibility…so I’m so Ms. Malvina will mold her into a elegant princess..

OK, so I’m going to add a few more….love this album!!!! Thanks to Leah Profancik!!!
