"That there is the gift that keeps on giving." ~ Cousin Eddie ;)

The holiday season...or any celebration is a great opportunity to be unique & give something other than the typical gifts ~ socks, fruitcake, etc...  There are SO many items that can be made from your portrait sessions.  I've included a "Nice List" below & don't forget to support local if you can.  I recently had a 16x24 canvas made by Gerbasi Signs at a fantastic price with fantastic quality.  Happy shopping & have a wonderful weekend!  {{Hugs!}}
