Its hard to believe that its almost Christmas. Working in a mall environment, I see all types of shoppers & given the state of the economy -- I can hardly believe what I see sometimes.
Sure there are the "lookers" who "will be back" but for every one of those, there's someone dropping some serious money. I can't necessarily say this holds true at my kiosk because the people we talk to are extremely fickle. They want everything free & are willing to drop the entire deal & walk if they don't get just the right deal. I'm not in the business of giving stuff away -- I'm in the business of selling.
I guess I just think its funny. People approach the kiosk with so many bags they can barely even get within yelling distance because they've dropped a wad of cash all over the mall, yet they want ME to give them everything for free. I wonder if they asked Macy's, "I've been a customer for years, can I get this sweater for free?"
Just a thought. Here's to the holidays!

November Pix & a big thanks!
Sunday, December 14, 2008First & foremost wanted to let everyone know that November 2008 album has been added to the photo gallery! Lots of good shots on there so make sure you visit & check em out!
Also, wanted to thank everyone for their support today for Ethan's baptism! It was a truly blessed day & its amazing to see God's work on a daily basis -- today just showed how great He is!
Ethan appreciated everyone coming to be with him on his special day. He really liked all the gifts he received & wanted to say thanks for everything.
A great weekend for sure! My parents came into town for the baptism & it was good to see them. Now on to a rough work week. Wish me luck!

Happy Holidays!
Sunday, December 07, 2008
So Ethan is the big 6 months now! We just got some new pix taken today & they turned out pretty good! Of course, given the time of the year, they were pretty busy -- but all in all Portrait Innovations did a good job again! The above picture is a shot from today.
So hopefully all of you have a great holiday season & wait until you see the Christmas card!
