A Quick Note...

Last night, our family decided that we would each give something up to donate to the local rescue mission. Joel is giving up going to the skatepark one week, and Josh won't go to golf. The money that we would have spent on that will go to the rescue mission. I am going to try to raise $20 from my business to donate. So if you buy, that is where your money will go!

North Carolina, Part Tres

Still on the Blue Ridge, we came to this overlook:


Check out the view!



And of course, we had to take family pictures...




That's my brother, Joel the weirdo. He's weird.

See? I told you!



That's Josh, my other brother. He's taller than I. :-\

That's my Momma and Poppa. I love them.



That's my fluffy puppy, Hobbies. I love him too. I mean, look at him; he's so cute!


That's a dandelion. It's pretty.



And here Josh is killing it.

Christmas Cards!

I have recently made an assortment of Christmas cards for my business. Here they are!


1. This card is blank inside.



I took a picture of this card before I discovered my beautiful macro lense, so you can't see what is written on the cream colored peice of paper.
2.
This is what the paper looks like:

I know it is a bad picture, but like I said, no macro lense! At least you can tell what it says.

3.
Here is the inside of the above card:

This card has the same inside as above.

4.
Still same inside!

5.
Well, that's it for now! I will be making other ones, but for now this is all I have. They are numbered, so if you would like to buy one, say so in the comments of this post.

Happy Autumn!

I had to wait until it actually started getting cooler to say this...



(Even though it is not very cool today!)
