A Kiss In Your Pocket. Does your loved one run after you for a kiss the second you walk out the door?

A Kiss In Your Pocket

Do they call you at 1 am begging you to come over and kiss them goodnight? Do they stand on the train platform and blow you kisses 30 minutes after your train already left? If so, then this is the perfect Valentines day gift idea for you! Introducing a kiss in your pocket. First, take a picture of yourself blowing a kiss. Then print a bunch of little pictures and use a red marker to draw one heart on the first picture, two on the second and so on.. Punch holes on the end and tie it together with ribbon. No longer will your loved one feel clinically depressed when you're away since they'll have your kiss right in their pocket.

Problem solved! Something Old to Something New. I was walking through the park and noticed that the leaves were already falling from the trees!

Something Old to Something New

I thought it would be fun to make something new from the dead leaves so I pulled out my heart punch and cut out lots of little heart shaped leaves. I sprinkled them on the ground, and made cute heart shaped vines! I blended them in with real vines growing up my building for a little touch of whimsy. Homemade Business Cards. I'm shooting a ton of events this week but found that I'm all out of business cards!

Homemade Business Cards

There's not enough time to get new ones delivered so I thought... why don't I just make my own fun cards at home? So I hung up a white sheet against the wall and took a few self portraits. and the name of my website on the back. and laminated them! I then cut them all out, and poof! My new business cards are done. Now there's a bunch of little Katies running around the world taking pictures!
