Holiday Family Photos /  by Gina Bishop





Even though it can be a little stressful to get family photos for the Christmas card, in the end it is so worth it!  It is the one time of year we actually all get pictures together and every year I get really emotional when the photos are being taken, especially the individual ones of the girls. I reflect on how fast time is really going and how much they have changed from the previous years.These were taken on our property and I love the background scenery.  Our photographer, Natalie Metzger of Matt & Nat photography is so talented and captures her subjects so well.  I feel so incredibly thankful for the blessings I have in my life and wish you all many blessings as well!

The ultimate store location! /  by Gina Bishop

First let me say that I am NOT getting a permanent store space YET, but if I did, below are my top 3 choices that are located in Peninsula, Ohio in the Cuyahoga National Park near Hudson.  The first is my very favorite and I know would host the ultimate garage sale!  I have to give kudos to my husband for composing this shot.  It was his idea and he is so proud.  It is one of my favorite photos my family has ever taken.  The second photo is a general store next door to the garage and the porch and architecture are stunning. The third a beautiful barn that for obvious reasons could be killer for selling, but my barn is hard to compete with.  The photos were taken by Natalie Metzger of Matt and Nat Photography and she is amazing.  I LOVE them! I think that if I "vibe" enough on the first photo the stars will align to allow me to use the space! :)! Channeling "the law of attraction"! ;)  On a side note, the bottom one was used as our Christmas card! Have a wonderful day everyone.  I hope you are all merry making! :)
