    Congrats on the posting, I love to read them and your pictures are so pretty!! I don’t think I can win this but I haven’t told anyone my new years resolution so here it goes – it is to make my 1st year of marriage wonderful and to spend a lot more time with my hubby because I feel since we’ve gotten married we haven’t seen much of each other and to spend more time with my family and friends.

    Hi Elaine!! Great pics, as always! My new year’s resolution is to not worry about the small things in life, but to be thankful for each day and the opportunities that come with each day! And….to get to the gym at least 3 times a week ๐Ÿ™‚ That one’s a strech- but that’s what new year’s resolutions are for….right?? ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Denise says:

    Hi! Well for starters I never written on a blog so that can be my new years resolution! Ha, so far so good!! I have 2 beautiful daughters and know how important and precious photos are to all of us! I’ve seen your work and it’s amazing! I could use a class on how to use my camera, seriously if you ever do that please let me know. My honest new years resolution is to love each day as if it’s the best yet and not to sweat the small stuff! Take Care and Keep Snapping Such BEAUTIFUL Memories!!

  9. Heather Sloniger says:

    Happy New Year Elaine!
    I love the new pictures on your Blog. I can’t believe you still have some of my shots on display. I feel like a celebrity LOL. I love how you captured some of the “off the camera” moments… The moments were your not getting the staged smile, but capturing real life and making it art.

  10. Heather Sloniger says:

    My New year’s resolution initially was to quit one of my 3 vices…but I am going for developing healthier habits I can stick with it such as remembering to take my vitamins and do 30 minutes of exercise a day. We just got a new puppy so the latter one won’t be hard:)

  11. Shelli Spencer says:

    I absolutely LOVE your new site. Very nicely done!

  12. Lindsay says:

    My New Year Resolution is to stick to Derek’s diet and take at least 20 mins a night to go over his letters with him. Since that is where he struggles the most. He is doing really well with numbers. Hopefully this New Years Resolution will bring a great outcome next year! ๐Ÿ™‚ Keep your fingers crossed.

  13. Becky Walseman says:

    My New Years resolution is to learn to Knit like you and make some kickin stuff! Can’t wait to come back. I need to learn to knit in a round. ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. Tia says:

    new years resolution: get married (haha) – be the best mom ever – live every day with no regrets!

  15. Erin Arnold says:

    My resolution is to try my hardest to lose weight/eat better so my husband and I can have better chances of having a baby.

  16. Kim Taylor says:

    Hi Elaine. Congrats on the 300 mark. I enjoy reading your blog from the couch that I am confined to untill my baby girl is born.
    My New Years Resolution is- to put myself second and my family first. To concentrate on providing my little boy Aiden, and my unborn baby girl Kamryn with all the love and patience in the world, and to re-connect with my husband.

  17. Kalene says:

    My New Year’s Resolution is to get a job!! It is crazy hard to do that right now so hopefully luck will turn around for the fiance and myself before the big day! Congrats on the big 3-0-0!

  18. Jenn says:

    Hi Elaine!!! I am here thanks to Ashlee of course. I have seen tons of work you have done and I find it absolutely amazing!!! Ash and I have talked about getting our pics done together a couple times but just never find the time!! I will be honest I have tried New Year’s Resolutions before and unless it is something that is near and dear to your heart who really sticks to them? I can say all I want that it is to loose 10 or 20 lbs which I desperately need to do but I need to do that for myself not a resolution. So here is my resolution for the year…To find a better way to balace my life with two jobs and finding as much time as possible to spend with those near and dear to me which includes my freinds and my absolutely amazing friends!!! I also have high hopes for this year that it will be better year for me. Last year wasn’t such a good year health wise for me and I’m hoping that all of these new wonderful medicines will help me live a much more functional, less painful and healthier year!!!

    Congrats on the 300 too!!!

  19. Laura says:

    I love your display in the cafe…especially the picture of Katie!

  20. Well, I’m going through some major life changes this year, so I have set no official resolutions, but just the goal of making the best of difficult times and coming through stronger and more reliant upon Jesus.

    I actually tried to go to the Playhouse Cafe Saturday afternoon, because I just found out about it recently, but it had just closed for the day ๐Ÿ™ At least I got a good look at the hours so I can visit on another day, but it probably won’t be before Friday’s drawing.

  21. Lindsay Semuta says:

    Hi Elaine! Great news about the 300. I love getting on to check out what new pics you’ve taken. One of my New Years Resolutions is to take every day as it comes and not fret about the small stuff. You only live one life so you better make the best of it. (My other one is I quit smoking, I did it for myself and my children. I want to be around for a long time to spend every wonderful moment with them.)
    Thanks! Have a great day!
