photo shoot

this is my 400th post.

wow.

ok... moving on.

we had a little photo shoot today.

and when i say 'photo shoot', i mean 'me randomly taking pictures trying to make them halfway decent' for the LBE website.

i'm no professional, that's for sure.

at least my kids are cute.

or at least. i think they are ;)

and thankfully, 'barbie' has my same exact figure... (ha)

so i didnt have to ask dave to take a picture of me in my new adorable apron ;)

and no, LBE is not carrying hockey jerseys.

the little man just wanted his pic taken too.

how could i tell him no?

if you like the aprons and want to see more...

check out the LBE blog.

Have a great weekend :)

LBE for Haiti

You may have noticed a new button on my sidebar.

My heart was aching for Haiti, and I had the idea (floating around in my head) of hosting a raffle over on my LBE blog in hopes of raising some money to help out... then the 2nd earthquake hit, and I knew I had to do something to help out, even if only this small bit.

Donations are $2.00 per ticket, with a chance to win a Little Bean Embroidery gift set :) ALL proceeds will go to Haitians in need.

Visit the LBE blog for more information.
And please spread the word to anyone you think would be interested in being a part of this.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

a few random things.

1. I am hosting a 6 vendor Open House, including Little Bean, in my home this weekend! See here for a few more details. If you haven't gotten an invite from me already, it's only because ...
A. I don't have your email.
B. You live in a far-away state
C. You are a stranger :)
(If you are local and you want more info, email me and I'll get you the flyer!!)

2. I did make a dip last Wednesday, I just forgot. And we did make one yesterday, though it was a lunch time dip. I'll share those later.

3. I have no whitty comment for this picture... besides the fact that this boy cracks me up.

4. Love in a laundry basket.
5. self portraits with lilly
6. Here is a fun coupon.

7. I am not ignoring questions you ask... (Rorie asked about Cornhole and Hot Dog Casserole, and Denise asked about Teacher's gifts this year) ... I'll get to those soon!! That'll make for another fun random post :)
