featuring Lori!

Posted on December 20, 2007

5 days until Christmas? I can not believe it has gone so fast! I am *working towards* getting cards out, but my goodness, it’s not happening very quickly! A few years ago I was “one of those” people who got their cards out the week after Thanksgiving. Now… well, it’s the 20th and they’re in a pile on my table.

Moving on… Featuring Lori! Here is one of my favorite images from her photography session in Hartland this past summer. Her children are so beautiful, truly sweet- just so fun to photograph!!

I get a fair share of compliments on my jewelry… I always tell people that a fabulously talented local woman creates it, and pass on her name, but even better… a link is included below, this is her! And besides making beautiful jewelry, she turned me on to Matt & Nat, where my new two favorite handbags are from. Just a small addiction.

(I will post these in this easier-to-read way from now on!) Here we go!

* First name & city: Lori – Hartland
* How many children, first names and ages: Abby – 5; Josh – 3; Thomas – 1
* What’s on the top of your Christmas list? I think I’ve already bought everything on my Christmas list (don’t tell my husband!) I mainly bought clothes and some fabulous pair of Tom Ford sunglasses.
* What’s on the top of your children’s wish lists? Disney’s Tea Time with Belle doll, Disney’s Cars racetrack.
* The gift you are most excited to give: a kitchen set that is big enough to accommodate 3 kids (courtesy of Santa)
* What is your favorite family holiday tradition? buying the kids’ special ornament for the year.
* Black friday- are you out before 6 am? NO WAY! I like to sleep too much!
* Shopping- stores, online or both? both – I prefer the experience of store shopping without kids in tow. Needless to say, this can rarely occur with 3 kids. So, I’ve done more online shopping this season. Free shipping offers make it guilt-free now.
* One store getting a lot of your business for gifts this Holiday season: Target for toys; Sears for my husband’s Craftsman work bench and tool chest
* Favorite holiday food? sugar cookies
* Favorite places to go with your children in the winter months: any place with indoor play areas
* What was the last book you read to your children? Can’t remember. We read too many. My youngest always loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see by Eric Carle.
* What’s on your nightstand? magazines, glass of water from the night before, book titled The Road (on Oprah’s list – I admit, I read most of her recommended books)
* What are your favorite websites or blogs to visit? www.mjrbeads.com for original lampwork beads to incorporate in my jewelry, www.abc.com to watch full episodes of Grey’s Anatomy that I’ve missed, www.zappos.com for shoes that arrive the next day free of shipping charges & free returns – Can’t beat that!
* What are your 3 favorite local restaurants: We just ate at two yummy restaurants: PianoBlu (Pewaukee) and Palmer’s Steakhouse (Hartland). Another favorite is Mo’s Tavern (on Bluemound & Hwy 100)
* What is your favorite Salon? Craig Berns Salon (Delafield)
* Any business or fun stuff you want to share? I run a jewelry business called “Lori Fowler Artisan Jewelry” www.picturetrail.com/lorifowler
* And last but not least, what do you *love* about proud to introduce? (I had to!) I love that Allie came to my home for the photo shoot. It is the only way to go with 3 kids – especially with a baby that likes his naps. She also has a great eye for using the home as an artistic backdrop. Even though the photos were in my home the images still had a studio feel (does that make sense?) Allie is an amazing photographer! All of my friends and family love my images!

I may not post again until after the holiday. If I do not, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday- just enjoy the days!! Next week will feature 2 moms if I can squeeze two posts into a week… Erin and Bernadette.

Enjoy the weekend!!
