Valentine Freebie, Nikki Sivils ,Isabella's Haircutting Debut & A Give Away

What a week this has been ! Isabella had a bad cold which means she was crabby, which in turn means we were all miserable. I could have simply dealt with that but while I was working on the freebie I am giving away today.....she decided to get in a bit of trouble.

I hear her soft little footsteps coming down to the studio, when I hear her say...."Mami Isa So Beautiful". My first thought was...ohhhh nooooo she got into my makeup again. If only ! I certainly was not that lucky.....she found my hair cutting scissors. While I am relived she did not hurt herself I was really dumb founded at how much hair she was able to cut off. It was so stinkin long and had just started to grow down past her waist.



I know that it doesn't really look that bad but Damien just loved her long hair.
I was really impressed at how well he took it & adores her new short look.

Well today's freebie is a 5x7 Valentines Day digital card:
