Yep, I am still alive.

Barely! Sorry I've been MIA. Between a busier than normal shooting schedule, kids all summer, and forms flying off the shelves (of my computer lol) - I have barely had time to breathe.

The sale is on!

We are so excited to know everyone is enjoying their forms! I've had amazing emails recently saying how much they have helped put minds at ease and really prepare clients for sessions. Just a reminder, 50% of all proceeds from sales through the 15th are going to help Robin Depaula and her family with their medical care funds. Forms are on sale now through the 30th for just $70, get them while they're hot!

It's time to help out!

If you have followed my personal blog, you have heard me talk about my amazing friend Robin DePaula. She has become an incredible friend, support, and inspiration over the years I have known her. She even came to town to cover my sister's wedding. I heart Robin. She's such a joy in my life.


Robin’s husband was admitted to the hospital for what they thought were kidney stones. While looking into the kidney stones they discovered cancer. Robin and her family were absolutely devastated. She and her husband have traveled back and forth from Louisiana to Houston so that he could get the best possible care at MD Anderson. While visiting MD Anderson last week, they checked into a lump on his back that she had been asking his regular doctor about for over a year. Their world was turned upside down once again to learn that it was more cancer. They've had a rough run, he is unable to work right now (he's in law enforcement) and she is struggling to keep up with her regular job and her photography business. Insurance only covers so much and the cost of traveling and lodging is starting to take its toll.

To show our love and support, and to help with the financial burden we are having a good ole fashion fundraiser! All of June, 50% of the proceeds from the sale of my business forms will go to Robin! If you have been on the fence about buying them, do it now. Please. If you want another option to show your support email me, we have a ton more vendors that are donating. I will be back later to update with those details and how you can get an item to support the cause!

I bet you wanna know.

I hear that we have some anxious people waiting for an answer. ;o) And I had really planned to keep you all in anticipation ALL DAY LONG. LOL But I've got a session in about an hour, and it's a doozie - so there's no telling what my status will be afterwards. LOL I had the best time reading through all of the entries! Thank goodness for Random.org, for making choosing that much easier. I couldn't have personally chosen just one, so we went the good ole random route to keep it simple. And seriously, just for the fun of it, I'd love for you all to keep sharing your embarassing moments everytime you visit. I love knowing that everyone else has big fat embarassing lives too!!! ;o) LOL So, I bet you really don't care to read what I'm writing. I bet you've already scrolled down to the important stuff and skipped right over all of this. So, I could probably tell you some pretty outrageous things right now and NO ONE would ever notice. But in case someone does read this, I'm not going there. That's just how rumors get started afterall. And I'm not one to go starting rumors about myself. Sheesh. Unless it's a good rumor. Like I'm SO BEAUTIFUL. Or SO SKINNY. I've got a KILLER BOD. Let's start those kind of rumors about me. Yeah. That would be awesome. So, spread the word. Word. I'm outta here. Thanks for entering guys!!! It was fun!!!

Oh. What's that? OOOOOOOH. You want to know who won??? Whatcha gonna give me? Huh? Huh? Huuuuuuuh???

Still wanna know, do ya?

Still?

Really?

How bad???

And we have a winner!!! I went to random.org and entered the number of entries we had, then asked it for a number. And just so you know, there was a couple of people who commented after their comments - those weren't counted. Only the original posts with stories obviously for fairness reasons. ;o) Comment #12 won our first ever contest! And contestant #12 is Rebecca!!!

And because I love you all, those who entered the contest already (no new entries will get this special), will get the chance to buy the forms for half off regular price!!! That's just $50! This offer is only good through the end of May for those who already entered. Thanks everyone!!!

Can you believe it's May?!?!

Time is flying, and I am trying to stay caught up with business and now with Brooklyn Street Marketing! Things have really taken off, and I am so thankful these forms have helped so many. I know when I was starting out, this is just one of those things I had no clue where to even start. And the good news is, now you don't have to know the ins and outs of every detail. It's all written out for you, and we've included things you wouldn't have even thought of!

So, now that it's May we've got a new special and our first ever contest!!! I love giving stuff away. I never win anything, so by golly it's nice to be the giver so someone can win something!

May Special - Business Forms and the Crazy Color action just $60!

Now for the contest! There is a ton of my gal pals out there that are having amazing contests right now, so I thought I'd join in the fun! One lucky (and randomly drawn) person will win the forms and action for FREE!!! To enter this contest just do the following:

I wanna hear about your most embarrassing moment (and don't forget to leave your name and email address so I can get your prize to you)! I'm a comical gal, and good grief have I had plenty of my own embarrassing moments. Too many to count, so in honor of my big fat embarrassing life - let me know that you too have this problem. lol!

The contest will end at 9 PM CST on May 18th! Get to posting! ;o)
