Day 3! OOOHHHH YAY!  I am excited about today's giveaways!  Thanks for joining the party again! 

Today's first giveaway is from Valerie Wieners art! www.valeriewienersart.com  She is an amazing artist with an AMAZING story of redemption.  I LOVE her work and LOVE what God has done in her life and continues to do through her story and her God-given talents.  Check out her website to see her amazing work.  She has donated a $25 gift certificate to her online store! YAY!! 

The second give away is from me! ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!

 I am giving away 4 chatbook gift cards.  Have you heard about chatbooks?!? www.chatbooks.com

They are the coolest! Its an app on your phone and it creates books from your instagram pics.  They are square, 60 page photo albums that your instagram feed is connected to and it prints your instagram pics in an album automatically! (or you can choose which pics to include or exclude) I love this because a.) they are only $6! And b.) becasue living in such a digital age, sometimes we forget to PRINT our precious photos so that they are easily accessible and can be looked over and enjoyed.  But, chatbooks makes it super easy to print our photos! These books are perfect because it takes very little effort and your memories are organized and stored for future generations to marvel over! (Or just for your current generation to look at and laugh at!) :) 

So there will be 5 winners today! WOOHOO!

To say I love these kids doesnt seem quite strong enough to describe how I feel about them.  They are very special kids.  I remember when Makenzie was born- I was in awe of her. Now she is a beautiful, precious young lady.  Dylan was my first trial with taking care of a newborn overnight. When his dad was sick and in the hospital and his mom never left his hospital bed, they needed help with Dylan (who was a new, newborn).  This put grandparents on overnight newborn duty.  Every so often my friend Shacie and I would give the grandparents an over night break and take him for the night.  This was before I was a momma and it was a very enlightening experience. :) Loved those sweet moments with that baby boy.  Keaton is truly one of the funniest kids I know.  He passionate about what he loves including dinosaurs and his family. :)  Sawyer is an absolute beauty - she is destined to be a beautiful woman - inside and out (and my Emme's best friend) :) And the newest member of the crew - sweet Reagan.  I just want to eat him up and KISS his little,fat lips!  Anyway, these kids are remarkable and precious and beautiful - just like thier momma and their dad.  Blessed to have the Cheyne family along for the journey of life.  Here are a few of my favorites!

These two are very special little ones.  I told their story here.  Love taking thier picture, their mom always has fun ideas.  She wanted to have "Mexico" represented in the pics.  Here are some of my favorites!

I was so excited when Staci of The Edge Dance Studio called me to do pictures for her studio! I danced when I was young and love, love, love to see good dancing. I also love that Miss Emme will shake her grove thang at a moments notice and I secretly cannot wait until she puts on her first little pair of ballet slippers.  So, to be able to photograph dancers - what a fun job!! The studio pics made for a long day, but the costumes were fabulous and the dancers were super fun.  The recital proved a bit more challenging.  It took some time for me to find my grove and embrace the spotlights and awkward place I was positioned at to the side of the stage.  However, I loved every second of it.  And often found myself not clicking because I was mesmerized by the dancers! Check out the Edge if you are looking for a studio for your little one this fall.  Here are a few of my faves.
