SC Photography Hi pretty people. I wanted to write something about gift giving ideas for the woman in your life. Or women. Mothers. Wives. Sisters. Aunt Gertie. Whoever. While this post will give you local mid-south business WOMEN to support (see gentle reader, I am not a sexist as previous posts may indicate!) - these ideas are great to give anyone where ever you are. I know I have a huge following & fan base in Germany, much like David Hasselhoff.
First up (and one of MY FAVORITE GIFTS EVER!) A gift certificate from SC Photography- or if you don't live in the Memphis area, pick a photographer that specializes in family pictures. (I also love stories framed photography if you are in the Chicago/Milwaukee area) I LOVE*LOVE*LOVE SC Photography. Stace is a local mom who takes Ahhhhhh-mazing pictures. She has such a great way with our boys and isn't super posey-posey so HH doesn't feel like we are taking prom pictures and missing the spiked punch at the after party. Any-who, she is selling gift certificates & they're 10% off the original price! An hour session gift certificate will be $180 for new clients and $135 for returning clients. Everything can be done online. Like her page on Facebook for all the details on how to contact her. But - if you take my family's spot- you are in trouble missy. or Mr. There I am being sexist again. I have a huge male fan base too. HH. My dad. Roger. Uncle Stan. My boys... I could go on and on...But I wont. This is the only item on my Christmas list this year. So hold one for me Mrs S!

This next one could be a gift for yourself or for someone else. I LOVE Paggios salon in Memphis. It feels like you are in a super swanky salon with a bunch of girlfriends. The gift I'm suggesting for yourself is a mini make-over. (Think make-up lesson where you look super pretty after) Do this on the day you have a christmas party or big date. You will feel ultra foxy. Ask for Courtney- she is a magician with make-up. She will also wax your furry eyebrows. Not that any of us have those. {{wink}} Some of us even have werewolf faces. (not me because I see Courtney!) Check out her page on facebook too for specials. I saw something yesterday about a $40 Brazilian if that's your kinda thing. Make sure you know what that is before you get it. I had a friend once who booked one and was a bit surprised when she found out what she signed up for. These are also gifts you can give a loved one but be careful how you give it. {{Don't say- you are ugly/hairy you need a make-over/wax! Baaadddd idea folks!}} Tell your lady friend- I know you've been a little overworked- stressed- whatever she's been- go take a little you time to relax and unwind. Courtney will take care of the rest. If you are super ambitious spring for Jennifer or Stacy to give your friend-girl a blow out. I love a good blow out. Hint Hint to anyone buying me a gift...
This gift is one you should buy for the good of your family. One day I will show you the cake I made for BIG's birthday and you will say - MommyOhhhh, why did you make him a nightmare before Christmas birthday cake? I didn't you big jerk. I tried to hand letter a chocolate cake and it just looked super creepy. I tried. But now I don't have to. I discovered a FANTASTIC and sweet resource (get it, sweet?! I crack myself up!) Email Deatra at [email protected]. I've seen her make everything from wedding cakes to duck dynasty cakes to vera bradley cakes. Her work is beautiful and delish. If you want to trick your in-laws and let them think you slaved over the desert you offered to bring- get your order in by 12/10. D will plain wrap it for you too- so you can just bring it in all "yeah I made it" style. If you are extra nice she may even give you a fake recipe to pass out to let the hoax live on. Not that I've ever done this. Yet. So if you are thinking cake. cupcakes. cookies. chocolate mustaches- you are my kinda person. I knew I liked you! If you don't live in the mid-south (sorry!) I'm sure there is another baker that can help you out.
I love art. I peruse etsy, the louvre- (once, it counts!) and all random things art. I love personalized art the most. I had an idea but since I'm not a graphic designer I couldn't make it come to life. That is where Serah comes into the picture. Serah is a very talented graphic designer that took my idea to concept to print. I told her what I was thinking- she made it better - sent me a small bill- i printed it at kinkos, framed it and gifted it. E-Z-P-Z! She can do greeting cards, birthday invites- anything graphic that you might buy off another site- she can probably do it. Better. You can contact her at [email protected]
Pardon the picture quality here folks- I am no SC Photography!

SC Photography You didn't actually think I'd post about my favorite family photographer and NOT post a picture she took of the dynamic duo- did you?? Do you even know me?
As usual- I am not paid for any of these shout out's. (damn- why not? what am I doing wrong?!) Just sharing stuff with you that I love. But not as pricy as Oprah.
