WGW #24 + Giveaway!

First things first:
Congrats!  
Email us at lollyjane@gmail.com to claim your prize ;)


____________________________________

Secondly, we are lucky enough to be a part of the fun Don't Say Cheese blog party and to review a copy of the cute eBook "Don't Say Cheese! How to get great, natural photos of your kids" 
by the talented Rebecca Cooper of Simple As That.  

After drooling over each page, it gave Kelli the push she needed to update pics of her kids.  They were not only updated but we shot some GENUINE smiles that aren't wide and plastic!  

See?
We snagged some pretty clever ideas to take pics of our little ones after reading this eBook... like Rebecca's sticker trick for the curious toddler, telling silly jokes to the older child and using photo games to keep them engaged. 

Her tips work!  
Here's what happened after we used one of her jokes with the busy preschooler...  

"Why was 6 so scared?"
"Because 7 8 9!"

"Don't Say Cheese" has great tips on how to earn natural expressions & genuine smiles for each stage of your child's life.  No more cheesy grins for our little bunch!  

One lucky winner will receive this handy eBook courtesy of Ella Publishing that retails for $9.99.  
Simply leave a comment to enter :)

If you want it sooner than later, enter the code GORGONZOLA until Sept. 1st to get 10% off your purchase!  Sweet!  Be sure to stop by Rebecca's blog and tell her we said hello.  Everything about her is simply darling!
