I have been into photography my whole life....even when I was little I would buy cameras with my own money and take pictures of my dog or ramdom stuff and my parents would fuss at me.....oh well I look back at those pictures now and my mind floods with memories. When I took one of my first jobs at a womens clothing store in a large dept. store they sold cameras on the second floor. I spent my whole first check to buy the camera I watched everyday...and talked about until I could buy it. It took amazing pics and today I shoot with a Nikon D7000 and still have my other Nikon cameras D70, and D40X. I just plain love photgraphy!! I am also an IPhone junkie so I have soooo many camera apps and editing apps. I also use Photoshop on my laptop.

I'm a laundry freak, so I can't stand if someone folds the stuff wrong....lol! I know crazy! Also I don't understand why someone can't rate you...you put your heart into this and I send what I would want to receive. Then the person who receives the goodies can't even rate you...that hurts. This has been really happening alot lately....I go above and beyond always!!! Please let me know if there is a problem, I will fix it! I aim to please always! Also turning the labels around in the refrig. the wrong way.

I send all my swaps out so no worries, if for some reason you have not received contact me. I will resend. We are very rural here our post office has weird hours and very limited supplies. I have to have her order stuff just so I can get it. There are no postcards right here I have to drive to get anything. I mail out one day and if the truck comes before I get there it will go out the next day, the truck comes at 4:00 pm but I gone there and he has already come but I do mail out it just does not get there until he comes the next day.....its called being in the middle of no where! LOL!
