Valentine Editing

Standard

I spent the afternoon yesterday editing some pictures I took of Little Robert during his Valentine Mini Session.  I’ll be posting his pics all week on my photography blog . . .  check them out: https://citygirlfarms.photography/blog/

Robert’s Bonus Pic!

Standard

This is the original pic I took behind my barn. He was loving the tractor! LOL

 

This is the pic – cropped & barn touched up.

 

Now I’ve added all the lights on the Christmas tree (very long process, lol), lights on the cart and the light in the lantern.

 

Andddddd here’s the money shot – snow overlay!  LOL  He’s just so happy, I love this pic.

This is Robert . . .

Standard

This is little Robert & he belongs to Cassi & John.  Cassi is a friend and co-worker of Amie’s.  They came up Sunday for a photo shoot.

As you can see – he’s a cutie patootie!  I’m obsessed with his p.j.’s!  Cassi got them at Target if you interested.

I’m also obsessed with jammies without feet – I asked all my moms to bring jammies with no feet, little toes are at the best.  Love this kid!

I picked up this vintage suitcase over the weekend at Vintage Market Days.

Sweet boy!

This Merry Christmas sign belongs to Amie.  Love it – she bought it through her friend Laura @ https://www.facebook.com/pg/signlanguagebylaura

Merry Christmas!

 

Crazy Story . . . and not so crazy!

Standard

So, I’m in the Springs this past weekend and I’m shopping with my daughter, her husband and his mom.  We all went to “Vintage Market Days” and then did some Christmas Shopping.  I saw this cutie cow picture in Kirkland’s and they only had ONE, but passed on it cause I should be buying gifts for other people! LOL . . .  We left Kirkland’s and went into Sam’s Club (in the same shopping center).  We’re leaving Sam’s Club and Amie says, “I have to run back into Kirkland’s”.  The rest of us wait in the car.  She comes out of Kirkland’s, hands me the bag and says, “here mom, Merry Christmas from Robin”!!  I’m like – what????? Robin live in Texas!

Robin had texted Amie while we were in Kirkland’s.  Amie texted her a couple pics and Robin responded with, “that cow picture is the one I wanted to get her!”.  OK, soooo while Robin (who lives in Texas) was in South Carolina for  Thanksgiving had been out shopping and saw the cow pic in a Kirkland’s in South Carolina.  She didn’t want to carry it home on the plane so thought she’d buy it online and ship it to me.  However,  it was not available online!  Sooooooooooooo what are the odds that Robin would text Amie at the exact same time that we are shopping at Kirkland’s in Colorado Springs . . . . then Amie sends her a pic of the VERY cow pic that I wanted that Robin wanted to buy me (3 weeks ago) . . . and it was the ONLY ONE left!!!

TOTAL GOD THING!  HE does stuff like that for me & Robin – crazy story, but crazy cool!!!  Thank you Texas Bestie!! I love him!!!! His name is Nickers!! For you know, St. Nickers! LOL  Yes I’m really laughing out loud at myself! LOL

 

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks ladies for placing an order . . . . Amie Bayless, Judith Lloyd, Sherry Amos, Robin Shearer, Betty Boulet, Pat Miller, Donna Nei & Laura Snead.  

This color is called London Calling . . . love it!  I did these on Saturday.

REMEMBER to re-seal your un-used nail strips.  I just used this lighter and ran it across the edge to re-seal.  If you forget to re-seal, it’s like leaving your nail polish bottle open and they will dry up.  Thanks again ladies!          mycolorstreet.com/julienolte

 

 

 

Little Miss Clara

Standard

This little angel face just turned 1 year old at Thanksgiving!  Her mommy is great friends with Amie and they all came up a couple weeks ago.  I could take pictures of this girl all day long! LOL

Too cute! These are LED lights and the light covers are actually plastic – so if you’re taking pics of little kids these are great.  Bought them at Michaels.

This is the same Teepee I used for Jacob’s pictures.  I just changed out the brown fur for some white fur.

I love this pic . . . more on the Santa hand tomorrow!

Just precious!  Thanks Heidi for coming up & letting me practice with your little cutie patootie!

ColorStreet – French Manicure

Standard

This is my own wrinkley hand . . . Julie came over yesterday and put the french manicure on me. I could have done it myself but she volunteered!! So duh

This is what the set comes with: All sets come with 2 alcohol swaps and a file – the French Sets come with 2 sets of tips & 2 sets of clear strips.

Ok, first notice Julie’s pretty nails!  Love them! In this pic she already put the french tip on and filed, now she’s layering the clear coat.

One done – 9 more to go!

Ta daaaaaa!!!!! LOVE!!!!!

If you’re interested in these for yourself, I’m hosting a party where Julie will give a demonstration & tips on how to apply them.  She’ll  also have samples for you to try. Just let me know!  If you can’t come or can’t wait (because they’re so fabulous) – my party is already open online – you can place an order and they’ll ship directly to your house – $3 shipping whether you purchase one set or twenty.  Here is the link – when you check out just click on City Girl Farms/Ronda’s Nail Bar . . . http://www.mycolorstreet.com/julienolte
