I feel like a magazine editor today!  It’s October (at least it was when I wrote this) and I did my Thanksgiving Day Tablescape photo shoot this morning.  Too bad I didn’t have an assistant to put it all away after the shoot.  At least I’m not taking Thanksgiving pics in the summer.  That would […]
