hello kitty in Singapore

i found my new favorite blog. it's called McCainBloggette one of the main authors is McCain's daughter, Meghan. they're on tour all over the world right now and i noticed a recent post from Singapore with images... check out the pimpin Hello Kitty gate in their airport!? the blog reports about the campaign adventures of the McCain family... with a slightly modern twist since his daughter is the writer.

i'd love to get out there and travel to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand...

best buy shopping

shopping for some random video games stuff... of course i had to play around on the apple equipment... im a true addict

waterbed trick

this is hilarious. it's in another language but it's still great!

why can't they be in Minnesota?

so i know where i want to work part-time. Sprinkles they're going to open a store in Minnesota apparently in the upcoming years... i just emailed them to say they've already got an employee ready for them. how could you not enjoy working at a place that makes such delicious and gorgeous treats?

awesome dance

i love this song. the dance is phenomenal.

to die for

found this pic in the studio from quite a while ago.... how cute is she?

my son needs a girlfriend

until Oliver meets Bella whose currently located in Orlando, Florida.. I'm entertaining the thought of buying another Yorkie. here is the ladie i like. the name will be Obie. i'm thinkin this one has quite the attitude... perfect for Oliver's style.

keep in mind, there is no way I can afford another $850 puppy right now... but it's fun to think about... check out the breeder we bought Oliver from, we are on the website. you gotta scroll down a little bit. too funny!

old school

i just have to post this pic up of Oliver and R.
photo shoots at the Hill studio are tradition
and Oliver looks like an ewok

studio marketing

so here's our senior marketing for this season... june/july/august... branded with similar colors, accents, fonts, etc...

grinch baby???

i was reading People at the gym and came across a picture of Gwen Stefani and her baby Kingston... i can't help but think he's going to grow up looking like the Grinch....

threadless of the day....

this one is titled "breaking up is hard to do" 

hehe

i love threadless

boys in suits

what is it about boys in suits that is such a turn-on?? the professionalism?  the classic tie?  the thought of undressing them after an important event...?  here's a little eye candy for my fab5

my new love

i'm not too sure how long i've talked about getting one of these, but finally C spoiled me and brought it home one afternoon... we've made many delicious mozzerella, basil, and tomato panini's on foccacia bread... oh and today i had a grilled chicken, tomato, basil one... to die for... and only $35 at Target!!!

inspired....

so I saw a "5 things that define my look" story about some celebrity in Glamour and was inspired to make my own titled 5 Things That Define My Summer....  click on it for a closer look 

this one is for C and Bella

....Bella needs to get some outfits like this... C, are you ready to be a full-time mommy?... doll your baby up like already! and take some photos while you're at it...

long time gone...

so here's the first part of multiple blog postings, catching you all up on the last week or so of my life.  the studio is in full blast marketing mode for the upcoming busy senior season... we have the june and july marketing designed and printed, almost done with the august piece... constantly updating the website and the studio blog .  it's amazing how much easier it is to communicate with clients and show them what's up with the studio...

this weekend was spent in Onemia (oh-nay-me-ah), Minnesota (up north) at Sean's cabin to havea  little wedding celebration... that's going to take place the end of July.  We were in the middle of nowhere, got full of mosquito bites, and tented out, something I haven't done in quite some time... granted the tent smelled horrible because R used it last and packed it away wet... disgusting.

i do what to go camping at some point, I think it would be fun, especially since C and I have been talking about buying one of those nice tents with the multiple rooms and haul it up north to the boundary waters for a weekend... just the 4 of us and the Northern Lites.... heck we should get multiple parties and have bonfires, roasting marshmallows until the wee hours.
