'Tis the season for gift giving, friends! Homemade, heartfelt gifts are my favorite this time of year…especially if they are the type of gift that keeps on giving. I don’t know about you, but when my little family gathers together for dinner, it is usually my most favorite time of the day.

Don’t we all LOVE photographs? I’m going to admit it…I have them hung all over my home and I have multiple multiple holes in the walls to prove it (sorry hunny). Life is SO short, so for me capturing every milestone and moment (big or small) is important.
