But TODAY, We get to play!

Anyone and I was going through my emails that sent stuff via yousendit, some of them have expired. Please resend if possible, so we can put lots of stuff on the blog today and finally be able to catch up.

Its FRIDAY!!!! woohoooooooooooooo!

Winner of the Ana Brandt contest with PIF- Be Inspired

Amanda Maynard, your the winner of the Be Inspired Contest with Ana Brandt.

Here is her entry that brought us to tears-pif blogger:

"This session I did for a friend’s younger sister. Whose husband was terminally ill. About 2 weeks ago. Since then he has passed. I don’t normally enter contests with these types of sessions, but this couple truly touched my life forever!

How I tried to capture them, was just to be in the moment. Because that’s all they had to hang on too. Such a sweet young couple they have inspired me to be better. That my simple life struggles are nothing compared to what this young couple was faced against. To live my life to the fullest EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I HAVE been inspired!

Amanda "

Congrats to you Amanda, your information is being forwarded to Ana and thank you to all those that entered, lovely inspirational entries turned in. We will have more contest, more to be inspired about and Pay It Forward

-PIF Blogger

Contest results with Ana Brandt will be announced

MONDAY! FUN stuff you guys!!!

EXCITING.


Busy week again, for us. We will get stuff on the blog next week.
Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend.
all the best,
