SANTA IS ON HIS WAY!!!

It's that time of year again....

December 7th

10am - 4pm Santa is going to visit with us again this year for scheduled sessions so that each child has the opportunity to enjoy this special time. Santa will take his time so that there are no tears ~ this should be fun and exciting for children and not a traumatic event...EVER! Sessions will last up to 30 minutes and each child will receive a special little something from Santa. Session times are limited so contact jill@dreamcapture.com if you are interested. Cost: $49 per child ~ Siblings $24.50

Receive an 8x10 and 12 wallets

with a donation (approx $10) to a local charity (items will be available to purchase for your donation.) Includes up to 30 minutes with Santa and a special gift. Special pricing and packages will be offered as well. Don't miss out!!

As the holiday season rushes in...

I realize on some days, more than others, just what a wonderful clientele I have. I am so fortunate to do what I love every day. I am even more fortunate to do what I love with people gracious enough to allow me a glimpse into their lives. Many of my clients have become wonderful friends and I am so thankful for them.

As most of you know (those that have been coming to me for a while), I tend to over-extend myself which usually causes me to trigger an episode of vertigo, Meniere's Disease, and/or BPPV. I haven't gotten a definitive diagnosis in all this time but whatever it is, it makes me feel terrible. During these episodes, it's difficult for me to keep up or communicate clearly. I appreciate everyone being so patient, especially with this last episode. That being said, if you have called over the past couple of weeks or attempted to contact me and have not received a return call, please accept my apology and if you are still in need of my services I would love to hear from you again.

To everyone who checked in on me and offered a helping hand or just left a note to say that you were thinking of me, I am so very grateful.

So, while it may be frustrating for some, myself included. I am learning to follow advice I heard from someone which is:

"Embrace that which defines you".

There are just some things beyond our control.

The winners are...

The costume contest winners are...

1st place goes to Malarie, the Bumble Bee! ~ $25 gift certificate!

2nd place goes to Graysen, the Bunny! ~ $15 gift certificate!

3rd place goes to Will, the Sheriff! ~ $10 gift certificate!

Originally, there wasn't a 3rd place prize

but the votes were very close all around

so I decided that the top 3 would be awarded prizes!

Thank you to everyone who participated by being in costume and for voting!

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY!!!

You know what they say...if you don't vote then you'll have to keep quiet.

The thought of that, for me, is not an option. Never!

I'm so into this whole political thing (always have been) and,

in keeping politics separate from business relations,

I will be spending my day voting and

taking advantage of the opportunity to talk with my kids

about the whole process and how we get to this point, and beyond.

I love every minute of it!

I rarely take a day off, but I will be unavailable this election day.

I will return calls, emails, etc. on Wednesday but,

being addicted to my work,

I may check my messages if my will becomes weak

so let me know if there is something vital

that needs an immediate return call

(like if you need a ride to the polls).

FYI: There were some announcements yesterday morning on one of the local channels that stated the polls would be open later than they actually will be but that was NOT true.

The polls are open 6a-6p as always.
