It took two months to finish. Not because it is complex, not because it had to be perfect, please Saturn's rings are aluminum foil!

I bought the foam spheres in varying sizes. A month goes by.

My husband, my son and I spent an interesting evening painting the planets to the colors shown exactly on Flynn's beloved space cards. Along with a few Hot Wheels cars that will never recover. A month goes by.

We or I should say my very tall husband hangs the planets in order along with a string of lights represents the stars that spiral into the galaxy. Just like that my son is in love.

I go to wake him in the morning and the first thing he says to me is, "MOMMY IN THE BED!". A ridiculous sight my pleasingly plump figure getting into his toddler bed. He wraps his arms around me and whispers, "Turn on the stars please." We now spend a good part of the morning discussing the universe.

I knew I had done well when my artist daughter walked in the room and the first thing she says is not a sarcastic, "Nice paint job Mom" or "Did Flynn hang those?" No, she stops dead in her tracks and looks up and says, "The light" She's right it is soft and beautiful.

The point of this blog post? To tell you about how spoiled my son is? To tell you how to make a universe on your kid's ceiling? Nope to announce that this will be my last year shooting weddings. 

Two months this simple project took. Most kids have moved onto a different love my then, but I have a feeling he is head over heels for this one.

So TreeSnap will have it's last year. I will be announcing a special on the remaining Saturdays that I have open this year, and starting a special to welcome new people to Happy Little Tree! 

As much as I love weddings, I love my son more. Thank you to all of you wonderful brides who have trusted me with such an important day. Who now take the next step with me as they have children of their own and bring them to the studio for me to squish!

Let me know your thoughts and wishes to see with Happy Little Tree!

Lots of Love
