10% OFF at MAMA RUNS WITH SCISSORS on ETSY

Hello Mama Runs With Scissors Fans!

It has been a long time without a post....way too long!

To make up for it I am offering 15% OFF for blog follower this week at www.mamarunswithscissors.com

Sale ends Sunday 8/14/11.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.  Mine is flying by!  So much family fun!......swim and skate lessons, trips to the park, friend and family bar-b-ques/birthdays and of course just trying to stay on top of work and household projects.  Sometimes it feels so hard to try and balance family/work/personal time and fit in all the things I want/have/need to do!

One thing I was able to fit in was a collaborative photo shoot with 

Meghann Street of YOURSTREET PHOTOGRAPHY

www.yourstreetphotography.com

I've had the pleasure of working with Meghann several times before and as usual she worked her magic on a few of my new fall 2011 ideas and I now have a bunch of fantastic new images to use.  The crowns you see on some of the cute little models are available in Meghann's own Etsy shop at  www.sweetvioletjane.etsy.com

 

You can see more of the images at
