{ National Pie Day????}

Dig in and celebrate National Pie Day with your favorite confection!



Come on, you know you want to!

Did you know January 23rd is National Pie Day? Really, I am not making this up. Although, let me think about it for a minute, a day to celebrate a sweet confection like pie, why not? Here are just a few pie fun facts brought to you by the Pie Council that I bet you didn't know:

~ 1 out of 4 Americans prefer Apple pie (Kimberly is one of those people), followed by pumpkin or sweet potato (17%), anything chocolate (14%, you can put me in that category), lemon meringue (11%) and cherry (10%).

~Speaking of cherry, did you know at one time it was against the law to serve ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas?

~If you line up the # of pies sold at U.S. grocery stores in one year, they would circle the globe and then some!

~Pies weren't always considered a dessert item, in the 19th century fruit pies were a common breakfast food eaten before the start of a long day. Sounds good to me!

So today on National Pie Day, eat a pie, make a pie, share a pie.....it's your patriotic duty!

{ D-day.....}

Extreme Makeover, Portraits by Kimberly edition is well underway. We have oodles of paint and primer and stuff. They are the richest, most wonderful browns, camels and reds.....it will be spectacular! Only problem, Kimberly and I hate, no, loathe painting!!! Ugh, it will be a long week....but the end results will be fabulous!

{ how old are you now....}

Oh, happy day! Kimberly is turning 35!

Happy birthday to our friend Tiffany! Hope you a a wonderful day!

Speaking of birthdays, our fearless leader Kimberly will be celebrating her 35th next Thursday, she is a little down in the dumps over this milestone so if you are downtown next week, stop by and wish her a happy b-day!

Ringing in the new year....

It's 2008 and so far it's off to a good start. I've made two resolutions, the standard get healthy and, Mom, Kim this will shock you....I am going to be organized and on time this year. Which means no more running to Walmart at 11:00 at night because Tate is out of diapers (which by the way Tate ~ you will be potty trained in '08!), no more calling my stylist the morning of my haircut to find out what time I am to be there only to find out that I'm not scheduled for another week and a half, and my Christmas cards this year, they will be Christmas cards, not Valentines. Kimberly, her resolution, training for the mini-marathon so we don't embarrass ourselves and our finish line pics will be STUNNING, not like the hideously bad ones from the 5K last year that NO ONE will see, No One!!

Our motto around the studio is, great in '08, and we've got lots planned. Here is a sneak peek, the week of the 22nd ~ 25th the studio will be closed for a little "make-over"....what do we have up our sleeves, well you will just have to wait and see! I am working on a new "must have" item for you our clients, we've done the purses two years ago, last year the dry erase boards....this year, well I can't say yet but the wheels are turning! Kimberly is gearing up for convention and her speaking debut! All of that is just the tip of the iceberg! Keep watching, this year is going to be great!

What, if any resolutions did you make? Let us know and we will back you up 100%!

Lastly, the first person to e-mail us is in for a treat, lunch on us! The when and where is up to you, but the who, well that's Kimberly, me and you!
