Since I know the grand-folk aren't blog creepers

And they're coming over for V-day tomorrow for our special dinner, I'm going to go ahead and post the adorable photos I took of the boys to go in their photo frames they painted for the grandparents. Each of them will get 2 frames, one from each kiddo and each holding a different photo. I'll take the photos of the picture frames all finished once we get the photos in -- I can't pick them up from Walgreens until 6:45 so for now, the photos will have to do! :)




I have a simple black linen drape that I hung over chairs in order to get the boys in front of a "black backdrop." I also have an off-white linen colored one that showed the wrinkles VERY BADLY but I just loved the photos and I don't care about the wrinkles at this point!
There are certain things that I'd love to have and learn to use better. One would be a flash diffuser...another would be to make one of THESE fantastic do it yourself PVC backdrops. Now, the guy making this is using it for a green screen but I don't need one of those, I just need something to hold my backdrop so that I can have my boys in front of it and it look beautiful!
You know the best part of taking these photos... we all started out in a bad mood and by the end, we were all laughing and smiling and in a great mood.
Small favors -- I thank the Lord for them every day!

Thanks for taking the time to show some love. I had to turn the comment moderation back on for the asshats that feel it necessary to spam blogs. Sorry for the interruption.
