Hey everyone

take a quick second and nominate someone for a free shoot on www.calhounink.blogspot.com.

If you haven't already

you might want to switch over your readers, or subscriptions, or your favorites, or your links, or whatever it is you like to use to keep up with our blog. I'm now posting at www.calhounink.blogspot.com, and today I am giving away a Halloween bracelet. So check it out.

I don't usually...

blog about give aways. But I love this one. Head over to I heart faces to check it out. You won't be disappointed, I promise. Plus if it helps my chances of wining, I'll totally do it. Plus it's my blog, and I can if I want to;) Plus if anybody wants a Christmas gift idea (for me, of coarse) here you go.

A button, a give away,and a catch!!!!

My friend Kami suggested I make a button for my photography blog. I thought it was a great idea, and wondered why I didn't think of it sooner? So with out further ado here it is...



You really can click on it. Go ahead, see for yourself. So I was thinking...you know how I love to give stuff away? Well this time there's a catch. I'm going to make you work for it first. So...here's the skinny. You have to add my button to your blog. It's super simple

• Sign in to your blog, go into customize, layout, add a gadget, add an HTML/Java Script.
• Copy and paste the following link under content.

<br /><a href="http://www.calhounink.blogspot.com"><img border="0" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/calhounaccounts/Calhouninkbutton-2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />

Now your done.

Unless you wanted to enter into the drawing for a prize. Then you would want to come back here, and leave me a comment under this post. The prize, you ask? None other than a custom portrait session with mah! You can visit Calhoun ink for details. I would encourage you to visit anyways. I just redid my header, and you can let me know what you think. I will keep this contest open until Wednesday the 15th at 8:00 p.m. As far as who can play. That's anyone of coarse. Young or old. Near of far. Weather I've done a session with you before or not is besides the point. Who couldn't use more pictures? If you feel so inclined you can even give it away. So come on you know you want to play.

The winners

I am writing this post early, but it won't post until I'm on my sweet little way to El Paso, with My Mom and Tate. We are going with the rest of my aunt's and Grandma to visit my Uncle and his family. On with the point...

Well it was a 50% chance and random.org picked Stephanie. She will receive her $25 gift card to Target as soon as I get back. Congratulations!

Also my Sister Jordon won the name that photo contest from way back when. Her title was Hit the deck. She will win a plate full of O'Henry bars made by me:)

300 post's

I just realized how lame I am. Actually I pretty much already knew. So...how do we celebrate this momentous occasion? With a tag and a give away! So my tag is this.

How do you decorate your children? With fruit snacks perhaps?

These were taken on a day when I decided I wouldn't use the computer for the whole day . After a while we were running out of ideas of things to do. So we decided to see if the sticker fruit snacks really stick. They do, if you don't eat them first!Jace kept getting mad at Tate for trying to eat the snacks off his face.

The give away??? Let's see...since I was at Target recently will do a $25 gift card. Leave me a comment, and if you participate in the tag leave me another comment and I'll enter you in the drawing twice. Good Luck. Lori

p.s. You have 1 hour. Just kidding. I'll choose friday night!

As promised

***UPDATE*** Extending this till Monday night 9:00 p.m.

Another give away! Were going to do a name that photo contest. (As previously stated I got this idea for MckMama.)

• Here is an example "riding just as fast as we can". The 1986 Tiffany version. Did you guys no there was more than one?

Okay, back to the point. Leave me your title for the picture below in comments. No rules. (It definetly doesn't have to be song related) Me, and the Mr. Will pick a winner (our favorite) Friday night by close of business. (9:00p.m. were old farts what can we say!) So, with out further ado The picture. Oh, I almost forgot the prize. I'm not for sure yet. But I'm thinking something baked. Maybe by me, but probably not. You out of towners are welcome to play too.

p.s. These photos were done for a Time & Motion assignment. To view the rest visit calhoun ink.

Drum roll please.

THE WINNER IS... The Thomas Family. Ha! Now you will have to come hang out with me. I'm just kidding! Oh, did I mention the real prize was that you get to double with me and Richard. Gotcha again. That would be more like torture. Have fun on your date. Of coarse I would babysit your kids anytime. But you already know that.

***UPDATED*** If you are wondering, I did random.org. But if I would have been going solely off of the comments left. I would have picked Amy, followed by Jen. Sorry Jen, I'm that vain.

PRIZES!!!

Before I officially except the prize I won on Kami's blog. I need to pay up on a past prize I owe. Shanna won a prize from me many moons ago, and I have yet to give it to her. I will spare you all the lame excuses and such. So, Shanna is you see this call me. I don't have your new number. Or you'll just have to wait till Sunday to get your cute little K. I love these, and I have bought one for everyone I have had a reason to. All this talk about prizes has made me want to give another one away. So after much thought. I decided on A DATE NIGHT GIVEAWAY.

• Two movie tickets to Harkins.
• A gift card to Pei Wei.
• (Disclaimer) Sorry, babysitter not included.
