    Reminder – Bridal Show :)

    Thursday, January 31st, 2008

    The bridal show at the Elk’s in Lowville is this coming sat Feb 2, 2008.  Just wanted to remind everyone that it’s coming up.  So if you are getting married or know someone who is come check it out.  I’m so excited and my plans are all coming together for it.  I came down with a cold today though so I’m taking lots of Vitamin C and praying that it’s gone by Saturday.  It will not be fun trying to talk to potential brides while all stuffy.  I have a few more days left to get better!! lol

    I know there will be a bunch of great people there and I’m excited to network more with people in the “same”  industry.

    Stop in if you can and come say hello!!!

    Saturday, January 26th, 2008

    Honestly I don’t remember the last time I wrote here. Life has just flown by here lately, we’ve been busy. It’s really late here but I wanted to talk about some things I have going on.

    PORTRAIT PARTIES!!!!!

    Now is the time to book them. I have one day free in Feb but am booking now for March. Give me a call or drop me an e-mail if you are interested.

    HOP INTO SPRING!!!!!

    Ok I know that’s is snowing like crazy here lately and cold but I have spring on the brain. Easter is EARLY this year and I’m trying to get a jump start on it. I’ve got some things in the works and will be making the announcement later this week. Think spring is all I can say!!!! ;)

    I’ve got a lot of things planned for the next few months. It should be a fun time.

    Here is what I did this week on our snow day!

    Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!!!

    Valentines Day 2007 Special!!

    Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

    The first ever Valentines Day cards by Ellen Nicol Photography have ARRIVED!!!!! This special limited time offer is only valid to those who have had a previous session with me in 2007.

    If you are interested in scheduling a mini Valentines Day Session call me quick and let me know, there is still time :)

    Here are the details for the cards I’m offering…

    The first 4 cards come in size 4×6 only and come in sets of 10 cards. The last 2 cards are wallet sized and come in sets of 8. You know how each child brings in those paper cards that have cartoon characters on them to school each year. Well the wallet sized cards are an alternative to that which gives your child a more personalized offering to each of his/her friends. They are adorable and if you have extra they are great for grandparents and the like.

    No Power :(

    Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

    I didn’t sleep very well last night in anticipation of getting my teeth out.  I go through all that get ready this morning and just as we were dropping the kids off the office calls and says they have no power and can I come tomorrow.  Thankfully I wasn’t in the middle of the procedure when the power went out!  So I have to go through the whole process again tomorrow.  I was practically sick while getting ready.  I was hungry as you can’t eat for 6 hours prior to surgery and I get terribly nervous about that kind of stuff.  You wouldn’t think I’ve given birth 3 times and can handle the pain.  The dentist seriously scares me.

    On a good note though I will be able to announce the winner of the blog contest tomorrow.  Should be exciting so tune in to find out who the winners are.

    Gotta run but I’ll be back later :)
