9:30 is totally the best time to wake up on a Sunday. I may have preferred 10 or even 11 but I’ll take 9:30. Woke up and I believe my burning throat has left. It has been at least a week so I am quite happy. The headache still is here but hey, I can’t complain. We are going to Las Vegas with Lynette and Todd this Wednesday for a few days so all I I asked for was this cold to be gone. And I think it is almost outa here!! We are shipping trunk shows out fast and furiously at the office and lots of us are working overtime this weekend. We hope to have all FT2 orders out by the end of the week and will start Sugarland right after that.
Ya, it is a good morning. We have received so many entries for the Casting Call (Gabe is yelling to me “Can I go to the Bathroom?” I have no clue why he thinks he has to ask). I’m going to finish going through them today. My head has been spinning with how to style the shot. I think I’ve got it almost nailed! Every little girl I look at takes me in a different direction. They have so many exquisite looks that I visualize 20 million sets. We are really going all out in this shoot. I want it to be the best one yet. I believe the collection for Spring 2011 is pretty grand.
And Fall 2011 is at a great place too. It’s been a week of Sam and I just sitting, staring, thinking, waiting, and changing stuff. But yesterday I think I broke through whatever was holding us back.Not really holding us back, but there is always one component that ties the collection together and I think I got it!
So today is gonna be a great day and I am pretty excited for it!! Had to finish the post with Katie’s (Katie joined Skye on the 435 trip last season, love these girls) cute babe. Love her big eyes, and fluff. She is beyond scrumptious.

I’ll even take 8:30 when I can get it. I’ll never understand why I have to drag both my kids out of the bed at 6:30 on school days, but they are raring to go at 5am on the weekends!
Happy Sunday! Hope you have fun in Las Vegas. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for all of us with the Spring line. I am amazed that you are already working on Fall for 2011. Thanks for all that you do!!
I’m sure it’s hard to pick for the model search with so many cuties! That last picture of the baby is so adorable!!! I love it. Today is my 11th wedding anniversary. It seems like it has been a long time yet a short time. Maybe I should get my hubby to buy Holly and me some MJ for our anniversary!
Anyway, I hope your headache goes away soon. I think you should bring some of those Platinum art fair items with you to Vegas and have a little art fair. Then you can give some of us west coast gals a chance at some art fair. I use to be able to snag some online platinum but not lately 
I would have loved one of those Holly Knot dresses for my Holly. I hope you or Sam make some more. Seriously though, have an awesome time in Vegas!!! Sorry about the novel.
Have a FABULOUS time in Vegas…you go girl! You sooo deserve it!! Any chance you’ll have the models picked before you leave?
So glad you are feeling better! Just in time to go Vegas, baby! Have some (safe) fun!
I don’t envy the tough task you have on narrowing down the models for the next line! …I am sure it’ll be grand…just like all of the preceding ones
I am glad that you are feeling somewhat better. It seems that I now have that sore throat that you just got rid of:(. I am anticipating the announcement of the models. My girls keep asking if you have chosen yet:). Have fun and stay safe!
Oh my Goodness, the eyes on the baby…Beautiful! Have fun in Vegas! Cant wait to see what is in store for Spring and beyond…..
What beautiful little girls… love the necklace in the first two pics! So cute! And I can’t imagine how hard it is for you ladies to pick models… good luck!!
I am so excited to see what you do for this shoot! Will the winners be announced tomorrow?
It will probably be later this week. We need to get confirmation that they can attend before we post them.
Vegas is just a little over an hour from me…kinda fun thinking you’ll be so close
It’s hard for me to imagine any collection better than what we’ve already seen, but I’m sure it will amaze us all, like always. Enjoy Vegas!
I have a quick question please…I am really hoping that you meant midnight tonight as in midnight on Monday night???…Please tell me I am correct because I have got to get home to get my pics of my little one uploaded this afternoon…Anyone that knows the answer to this question please let me know ASAP…Thanks
Nikki, I also understood it to be Midnight on Oct. 11th! Maybe we can get clarification from Denise?!?!?
Glad you had a great Sunday, Denise! We had that same bug go through our house last week, and man did it feel great when it was done! Have a wonderful trip! You are really going to need a bit of a break after going through all 1500 entries…you guys are amazing!
I have to laugh at Gabe, my 5 year old does the same thing! Go to the bathroom already:) My dd keeps asking me if she has been picked, her eyes light up at the possibility! Who ever you decide to pick, will be the luckiest little girl. Good luck, I know it’s got to be tough.
I will be in Vegas for a conference at the Bellagio Thursday and Friday! I love Vegas and have fun!!!!!
Ditto on that necklace!!! What Etsy shop did it step out of??? And the photos are gorge- those Sara Lanes are just lovely and peekaboo and Skye can never do wrong!!!
If the models are picked (and I know you all are big on secrecy
) …will you post that they have been picked…I know many mamas who would like to know, including me 
Have the models been chosen and parents already contacted? I have been a bit too close to my phone with high hopes!
Cannot wait to see who you all picked! What lucky girls!
