Asheville Wedding and Portrait Photography: Advent giveaway #3 -- CLOSED

Welcome!

Hello! I'm Joanna, author of this photo journal. My husband, Mark, and I are professional photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost-wordless children's book about mischievous frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love this book because the illustrations are truly the heart of the story. Speaking of mischievous, Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent, though not always willing, photography subjects. Here you'll find not only the stories of our everyday lives, but of those we've photographed in our capacity as professional photographers as well. Please feel free to browse the links above, check out the archives at the bottom of the journal for more photo stories, or subscribe and receive email updates of all our antics. Enjoy!

Advent giveaway #3 -- CLOSED

Thank you all for the well-wishes for my mom & brother - we did have a good week together! Sadly, they are now back home (sans their luggage, which will hopefully be delivered to them tomorrow. Philadelphia, apparently, is the hub of all lost luggage.)

So we're on to Advent giveaway #3 this week! This one is alllllll scrapbook related, encased in a pretty Amy Butler bag from K&Co. It holds a 2008 Designing With... calendar among other things. So if you'd like to win, please post below! I'll announce the winner on Tuesday (so that we can squeeze in drawing #4 before Christmas, too.)

I'm the first! Well good thing your mom and brother are back home...because the midwest (including us) got pummled with about 1.5 feet of snow! We are diggin out as we speak! Merry Christmas!!

We have been digging out of the snowdrifts today. Ugg. There are so many people stuck at the airports here in Canada. I hope and pray that some of those people will be able to get home for Christmas! (some of them have been told that there are a lack of flights and they won't be getting on another flight until January! Ack!).

Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for the comment on my photo over at twopeas , and to put my name in for your fabulous draw! Wow. Very generous gifts, lady!
