Name:Christy Derr.

week: week one.

I am married and have 3 children.  

My oldest, Corey  is 20  ( I started 

much to early)   My only daughter, 

Alexis is 8 and then my baby, Jacob  

is 1.

State: Kansas (please no references 

to Dorothy and OZ)  I hear that always 

when I am out of state.

I spend waaaaayyy to much time  during 

senior sessions ( 4 hours) , then 

editing in Photoshop, then sitting with 

clients ordering. Basically everything. I would much rather be 

enjoying time with my family.

 I love interior design and started working with a photographer, 

designing sets, faux painting, etc.  I became interested in 

Photoshop and loved it, then decided I needed to be behind the 

camera to get the images that I wanted to be working on in 

Photoshop, I was not getting paid for my work with this person, 

so decided to start my own business.

I love almost any food, but I would have to say salmon is my fav.

I cannot live without my family, they mean the world to me.

Not very many people know that I take everything personally.  

I know I should be over that by now.

I like to listen to almost all music, except country, my ex 

husband loved it and forced  me to listen, so now I can't stand 

it.

I am a night owl, but need to be an early riser.

My guilty pleasure is pop.

Entertaining:  Hmmmm   Pretty much my life is entertaining.

Family first, after God , of course.

The most exciting thing to happen lately is, that I just recently

purchased an old building  in a small town, that I want to turn 

into my studio.

True: I am to critical of everything.

Meaningful:  My oldest son is in Alaska, right now in the 

AIRFORCE AND I MISS him  Terribly.

Powerful: I am a strong person, I have been through more in my 

life and have risen from building a stairway from the crap.

If I could have dinner with one person  it would be my father 

that passed away when I was 16, and pregnant.

I love Fall, Horses going to the movies alone.  And weekend 

getaways.

I do not like liars, clients that want everything for nothing 

and selfish people.

I go boating, travel and visit family.

I want to travel with my family, but I would love to live on a 

yacht and just travel from port to port.

I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh.  Everything in 

my life is funny, because if it wasn't funny it would be awful!  

So I just go with the flow and laugh about it.

I talk to much and tell to many personal things to soon.  I 

weigh more now than any other time in my life and I really want 

to change that. I need more time in the day so that I can have 

time to exercise, or at least quit making excuses.

My weakness in my business would be lighting, and business 

skills, I need to organize my business, make policies and a 

whole business plan.

My 5 strengths would be Design, loyalty, imagination, love 

people, and I like to think that I am good with Photoshop.
