Little things excite me

We've been doing yearly pictures of the kids well for about 5 years now. Okay more often in the first 2 years but whatever. In the past we've gone to Sears, which ends up costing us what seems like a fortune. I figured we could try doing it ourselves, so off we traipsed to Fish Creek park. We got some good ones of Quinks and Spencer, and Taylor but we didn't go planning for her yearly ones. She gets school pictures. Anyway, I put the pics into photo shop made my own wallets and such. I have to say I am very impressed at how they turned out and the cost is amazing. What would have probably cost us $200, if not more, cost us $22. I think we ordered 26 sheets. So you see that is what has got me excited this evening. I love when a plan works out. I'll leave you with a sample, although I think the actual printed copies look better.

Have a great weekend!

Those are fantastic shots--you won't get backgrounds like that at SEARS!

And YAY! for saving money!
