  Have you been waiting on September to sign up for a Baby’s First Year Plan during the special?!!?! Well guess what, ifyou were this is your lucky day….I am adding a NEW “choice” to Septembers Special!

September Special!! ~Baby’s First Year Plan~

$425.00 Baby Plan, with 10% off ALL orders thru-out the year,
OR
$325.00 Baby Plan! ( no 10% off thru-out the year on this one)

Now you all can chooose what will workout best for you guys!! Also…current Baby Planners, we watching for an email, you get a special deal too if you refer someone! (wahoo!)

This is such a great plan….I really encourage you to sign up during the special because then its an even better deal! Its just so great to watch these babies grow from Newborn all the way thru 1 year! I have been having oh some much fun with my current Baby Planners! Another idea is to purchase a Plan for a friend or Famly member as a shower gift! Plans can be purchased in Advance, so if you or a friend is not Due until March 2008..thats okay! Go ahead and order it in September 2007 to ensure you get the Special!

As always, a BIG thank you to all of my wooooonderful 2007 clients, you are making his such a great, great year for me! *much love*

Have a great weekend and I will be talking to you soon!

  I wanted to post since I am back from vacation, and all refreshed! I came home to all kinds of work, last weekend I had a WONDERFUL wedding…which Im in the middle of proofing right now, and I gotta tell you, its some of my best stuff yet! I am having so much fun proofing! It was on outdoor wedding, and in my world there is just nothing better!

I am trying to make it out the the Chillicothe 2nd Street Market as well over the next few weeks, so if you are near by look for me! I’m not sure if I can make it tomorrow  (the 26th) but I am sure gonna try! I looooved setting up a booth there last year, it was such a blast, I really look forward to doing another set of them this year!

Lets see here, my new Wedding Website is underway…its stil going to take some time before its running simply because of lack of time on my part to dedicate to it….plus Im picky! Its a curse, I tell ya! I have so many sessions coming up over the rest of the year that its gets a little overwhelming…but exciting!…to think about them all!! Plus another wedding in the mist as well which will be SO beautiful, I can feel it!

I really want to get some new pictures up on here and on my website! I add it to my to-do list and then it seems to get pushed aside…I need about 3 of myself then maybe I could get everything caught up!

 Well enough for now…I have got to get back to proofing, but hopefully I will be posting again soon with fun pictures!!!!

As of this Saturday, (July 9th, 2007) my family and I will be on a much needed vacation!! We will be headed out of state, so I will have no access to voicemail or internet! I will, of course, be in contact as soon as we return, which will be after July 158th, 2007! 

  Also, our internet service provider was bought out by PeoplePC just 2 weeks ago. SO, our emails are all changing, and it’s been a terrible hassle. (Okay terrible does not even begin to explain it, it even made a HUGE mess of my WindowsXP!) We have one email for everything, it is now jeremynshell@peoplepc.com . I also signed up for a webmail Shellie_Benson@yahoo.com However, we have been dealing with sooo many terrible issues since the switch, so we are taking the plunge (finally) into satalite internet! (YEA!!!) So, once we get back into town, I will have yet another new email…which will hopefully not change again for a long, long time. I’m so sorry for the huge inconvience, I truely am!! Its not been a good transition to PeoplePC at ALL, so I will be thrilled to have gotten rid of it. I have lost a large number of email address as well during this process so if you catch this post and have NOT recieved an “new email” email from me yet, Pleaseeeee, just send me an email so I have your address again! I would be forever grateful!!

If you have not gotten your orders yet, I will get them to you just as soon as I get home, unless they arrive before Saturday, then I will call you right away for us to meet up!!

Thanks everyone!!!! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July and are having a great summer! I will post when I get back home!!

  Now, I have not worked with them myself, but I can tell you…the flowers were just perfection!

Also, I did a Picture Day in April at “The Hair Company” on 2nd Street in Chillicothe! Sandy (owner) she is WONDERFUL! If you should ever need dance lessons for your kiddos, or a hair cut…there you go, a great answer! I hope to have more picture days with her because she is so great!

So there you have it, my plugs
