Job Stressors
Financial Decisions
Raising Children
and
School Pictures
What happened to the good old days when you sat down and they snapped your picture and you got a bazillion pictures to share with your friends for 5.95? The big 8X10 pic was always saved by mom, the 5X7 and 3X5's given to relatives, especially grandparents, and the wallets... oooh, I loved that day when I could cut them all apart and write a message on the back in an ink pen. Then, I would covet each and every picture that was given to me, read and reread the message on back (especially if it was from a boy) and save them for years!
Ahhh, simplicity.
Now, getting that order form in the backpack just gives me a headache.
The decisions, The pressure, the financial commitment!!
I must decide....
What Package - Several to choose from ranging from $62.00 down to $11.00, but I'm telling you, they make that $11.00 one really hard to find, and when you do finally locate it on the order sheet, you have to decipher that it comes only 2 3X5's and 4 wallets.
What Background - Gray, Blue, Purple, Green, Amber
and new this year
What Pose!
Pose 1 - arms crossed, cropped at waist
Pose 2- arms crossed, leaning forward, cropped at elbows
Pose 3 - same as above, cropped at chest
Pose 4 - same as above, cropped like a close up
Then, I can opt for Retouching (I guess it's handy in the acne years)
and I can pay extra to add my Child's Name on the pictures.
or if I'd like, I can add purchase separately different Add Ons, such as a CD of the image (only $25.00 gasp) and that good old 8X10.
You can see clearly the difficulty I'm facing. It's mind boggling.
One perk? They give you a free SmileSafe Kids Safety Card and 24/7 Rapid Response Card.
Hmmm..... that sounds a bit complex too.
