Lebanon Illinois Fall Festival {Lebanon IL Photographer}
Posted on October 4, 2009
It’s 9:15 p.m and I am ready for bed. I am beat. No I didn’t have a long wedding day, nor did I spend the day running after little ones begging them to be still for me for a sec. And nope I wasn’t even chasing after my own kiddies today. Today, Stephanie and I ventured into uncharted waters. Well at least for us they are. We set up a booth with the goods at the annual Lebanon Fall Festival. It was a GREAT experience! For our first booth and throwing it all together in basically two days, I would say we did a pretty banging good job. See for yourself.

Also you will see a familiar face in the upper right hand corner. Yep, it’s Traci. With her lovely parents showing off her family portraits we did last month. One week after delivering Miss Sydney and she’s out and about. She’s one heck of a lady!! Please also note that amazing large picture in the bottom right picture. That is Miss Traci’s oldest son. Is he not the cutest! And let me tell ya… that picture was a HUGE hit today.
I had the pleasure of being stationed right next to a local cake diva. I see her almost daily walking her adorable son and cutie pups past my house. Who knew? Lucky for us she had yummy samples, I tried the chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. Now I don’t get too excited over chocolate cake, even though I am a huge chocolate lover. BUT her chocolate cake was DELIGHTFUL. And the cream cheese icing… OH MY GOODNESS!!! Delish! So be sure to check out The Brick Street Bakery’s website. You will not be sorry. Check out her cake on display today. It was amazing!

I got the opportunity to walk around a little. Thank you Steph for letting me have a moment to take in all the great crafters and artists. Though I couldn’t stop and really peruse their wares, I snapped away and was greatly inspired. I was also reminded that Christmas is only a few short months away. Man I have a lot of things to get done. One thing at a time…. here are a few snaps I took on my stroll.

For those of you wondering… who are the winners. The winners have been drawn. And I will be sending out emails and giving you 3 lucky ladies a phone call Monday to let you know who you are.
) We also went ahead and picked out 2 runner ups. We had such a HUGE response we felt 5 was better than three. I think that can go for a lot of things.
We want to thank all the great folks who stopped and admired our work, left us with beautiful comments and just stopping to chat. I got to catch up with a few old clients, see new babies, see babies that have grown. Met grandparents of my clients and got to talk to some of the local folks. It was great. I really did enjoy myself and look forward to doing this again next year, though we will look and be named something very different. Opps, did I let that slip??

And before I head to bed I want to say Thank You to the local Boy Scout Troop. They kept the place clean and tidy. And they were there after to clean up the mess that was left behind. You boys rock and I can’t wait for Jax to join up.
Night y’all!!

You amaze me weekly, if not DAILY. Your true calling screams uniqueness, art and pure, raw talent!! Not many can capture the way you do, you are a true jewel to your clients.

That looked like so much FUN! I LOVE these fall craft fairs…I wish I would have known about it we would have taken a drive. It only takes us about an hour to make to Scott AF base.
