Hey, howdy hey!
Apparently, I’m quite the wordy girl on camera. I taped five different vlogs yesterday attempting to introduce new products, but every stinkin’ one was too big. So, I tried it again this morning with zero make-up and crazy woman hair and it says it will take about three hours to upload. Yikes.
Maybe I’ll post them later. Or not.
I’m not entirely sure I want y’all to see me with no make-up and crazy woman hair. ::snort::
Ok. There are three new products in the shop starting today. I’m so super-duper excited about these. They’re my babies.

i dream in pictures
Ooooh, snap!

I’m not working with any fancy machinery over here, so each letter and shape is traced and cut out by hand. Then, sewn on.
Each slip cover will be slightly different. I kinda love that about this line. Ok. I really love that.
I’m hoping to come out with some more sayings in this line soon.
Also, there are three products marked on sale this week. They’ll be on sale through Friday.
Have a great Monday, y’all! xoxo

One of the videos finally finished uploading. Against my better judgment, I’m going to share it. Please don’t count how many times I say Um.
Mmmmkay?

Love it all Ruthanne. Would you ever make a strap cover with a little pocket for the lens cap?
You crack me up – OH SNAP! Totally puts Fergie’s London Bridge in my head:
When I come to the club, step aside
(Oh snap!)
Part the seas, don’t be havin’ me in the line
(Oh snap!)
V.I.P. ?cause you know I gotta shine
(Oh snap!)
I’m Fergie Ferg and me love you long time
(Oh snap!)

Oh I got one…my kids think I should name my photog bus ” In Your Face Photography” Its cute but maybe a bit harsh so I think “In Your Face” would be really cute on your camera strap.
