I have moved......

So sorry I haven't posted here. I moved my blog and I swear I posted here to let you guys know that I moved. I guess maybe it didn't post.

 

Anyhoooo....

I moved my blog over here, so it could have it's very own identity.

{Primrose Path..... a new collection}

 

A short time ago, I had an advertising photo shoot for Save Kid's Handmade and I was so inspired to take the shoot a little further. It is a sad sad thing to think children's handmade items could be extinct very soon, but it is even more saddening to me to realize that childhood itself is threatened.

I remember when I was a child............. it seems so long ago. Toys were simply entertaining, running through the meadow, stomping in puddles, building sand castles, making mudpies, and catching butterflies were the highlight of my day. The biggest stress was whether to wear pink or purple that day, not whether or not my world would be shattered by terrorism or if my father would be taken from us and sent to another country to fight a war that I didn't understand.

Our world is everchanging and it is not up to us to stop It or stand in It's way, but it is our job to remember our values, teach our children to enjoy each day for what it is, play often, laugh even more often, and above all... Love.

I decided to call this collection Primrose Path, because it is defined as a "life of ease" or "the path of least resistance" which I think every child should experience.

This collection is dedicated to the simplicity of what childhood should be.

Each photo pictured and many more are available in my shop on 1000 Markets and I am slowly adding them to my Etsy store. .

{Treasury Features}

 

I found this treasury today and it is so adorable.  dragonhouseofyuen was so kind to include my Little Paint photo in the treasury from the The Buckeye House Rabbit Society. Thanks dragonhouseofyuen.

 

I also found out that my Raspberry Sunset was featured in this treasury created by fishage. Thanks for the feature:)

And the winner iiiiis...................

Remember the contest I posted last week? Did you leave a comment telling me which photo you would choose if you won?

 

I had my 3 year old pull out the winning names, which made her day. I was sad though, that I couldn't give each one of a free photo. So I decided to offer everyone who participated in the drawing gets Free Shipping on any purchase they make from now until the end of January!

 

So, are you filled with anticipation yet?

Ok, ok I will stop teasing.

A "Discover This" feature.........

Happy 2009! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I wish you many blessings in 2009.

On Christmas Eve it started to snow and it didn't stop until the day after Christmas. There was so much new snow, many didn't make it to work the day after Christmas. It's a good thing there was no school that day.

I was able to get out (thank goodness for 4 wheel drive) and get some lovely photos of the fresh snow.

The picture above, was taken just a few days before the big snow storm on a frosty, frosty day. The photos to follow are some of the "snow day" photos.

 

Look at those pillows. Some of the trees in our yard even broke. One of our very large Maple trees even gave in to the weight of the snow. It was a big storm.

So, with the new year well on it's way, I've been planning some new things for Constellation Photo.

Stay tuned.... I've got a giveaway coming in the next post!
