what a sweet surprise after dopping the kiddlets at their "Olympic Extravaganza" at a local kiddie gym ... my dearest sis, Mary Ann, left me a very surprising message on my cell... "OMG, OMG, OMG...you'eve got to check out Rachel Ashwell's site...RACHEL started a BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

needless to say, i was on pins & needles to see what the heck she was talking about...so, i went to check out Rachel's new blog and lo and behold...what did my big, ol' brown eyes see...but this...

i'm still rubbing my eyes off to really see if that's what indeed i think it is...

WOW!!! i'm totally pinching myself to see if this is for real...WOW...that lil' pic of Rachel's Chicago Shabby Chic Store was taken by ME way back in April...i went with my sis, Mary Ann and my lil' Shioban...i adore Photography and would love to get into commercial/advertising/marketing arena of photography...thinking of taking classes to learn even more...we'll see what the fall brings... if you want to see more pics...go check my sis' post out, she created a sweet slide of all my pics that i took of Rachel's Chicago shoppe.
