make the most of facebook
Facebook is an absolutely wonderful tool for marketing, and I realized that while the rotating images at the top are nice, why not use that space to showcase important links?!! I may even swap them from time-to-time and promote special sales or products. What do you think? :)
As you can see above, I recently posted a collection of maternity photos... if you haven't checked them out yet, please do! And...... lastly on this lovely rainy Monday, we're only 45 people away from my free custom painting giveaway! So hop over, and LIKE dm designs to be automatically entered!

Kid Costume Idea: Gnomes!
Do you have Halloween on the brain? One of my current kid costume obsessions is GNOMES! How adorable!? And, the best part is that these can be made fairly simply.
For the BOYS:
* bright blue shirt + blue or brown pants
* over-sized belt or suspenders
* bright red hat + beard (here's a greattutorial on how to transform a large red shirt into a hat and how to
make a nice felt beard. Here's another beard tutorial if you're looking for something a bit more complex... Also,
consider attaching the beard to the inside of the hat so it doesn't fall off)
* rain boots or clogs
* fun prop idea: perhaps add a kid-sized gardening tool
For the GIRLS:

For the GIRLS:
* red skirt & a fun "garden-pattern" shirt
* bright red hat (see tutorial above)
* red suspenders (use remnants from hat material)
* rain boots or clogs (add fun stockings)
* fun prop idea: perhaps add a giant fake flower

Feature Friday: William Walker Photography
Ladies and gentleman: today I'm suggesting you take 2 seconds to view the amazing work of a talented Virginia-based photographer, Mr. William Walker. I had the pleasure of working with Will during several photo shoots when I worked at The Boar's Head (resort). He has an infectious personality, kind heart, and a fantastic eye for details. Here are just a few of my favorites (and there's Will, top left!):
Also, a big congrats to Will for his recent 3rd Place acknowledgement in the "Views of Shenandoah" Photo Contest for his shot "Icy Run"...
