Today's photo shoot....Amazing!!!

Today was the much anticipated photo shoot.  I had three awesome models, including my good friend Anar, putting on my fashion show.  All of the girls had a different body shape, which helped out tremendously because none of the dresses were the same size.  Special thanks to Crystal Belle for providing her home studio for this photo shoot, the photos she took were absolutely amazing.  This felt nothing close to work, all of us had a great time.  Once again, thanks to all of the girls who participated.  Check out my Etsy account to take a look at the new pictures.  www.kricketts17.etsy.com

It is official... I have found my calling!

Amazing things happen sometimes when you aren't even trying.  Ever since we got to Pensacola in May of last year, I have been trying to find any job around the area to make some money.  The problem was, I hadn't been able to find a job in my major (accounting) that would pay enough to offset putting Chase in daycare ( We would actually be losing money).  Funny thing is, after taking Chase to playgroups out here, we would drive around and check out the local thrift shops to see if I saw anything that caught my eye.  Before we knew it, we had been to five or six thrift shops and been out for hours, but both Chase and I were having a blast!  So far,we have been doing this for about 8 months and a thought snuck up on me and surprised me the other day....this is turning out to be a legitimate business!  I am making contacts out here and my name is being passed around in the "thrifting biz", lol!  Next thing on my radar, I have a stock of dresses to put on my Etsy account, and I have been introduced to some amazing girls that were willing to model them for my website...So Excited...Stay Tuned!
