Photographer: Karen Davis

Hi all!  I decided to add a section on the blog for anyone who has a home-based/freelance business that they'd like to get out there.  There are people here who are seeking certain goods/services (i.e. Mary Kay, PartyLite etc.)  and there are people here that can provide those services.  I personally needed a photographer and found one through word of mouth.   If you would like me to post your information up about your business, please email me at:  opn_blog@yahoo.com




I would like to share info on Karen Davis, she's a military spouse who happens to take incredible photos! 
Here are a couple from my maternity photoshoot:



If you would like to book a session contact her through her website:

Need Volunteer!

Just wanted to put out there that the lady who was in charge of organizing the Swap parties, is no longer able to do it.  So if anyone is interested please let us know!  I think usually they held them in the rec rooms of the Osan towers so that it was convenient for most to meet! 

With the fall and winter weather coming, it would be nice to be able to trade out any warm clothing you don't wear or that children have grown out of! 

This would also be good for trading toys or anything else! 

Again, please consider volunteering-  I think its a great idea that shouldn't go away!

Nature Luminary Candle Votives



What you'll need: 

-leaves and foliage
-glass votive holder or jar
-white tissue paper
-white craft glue
-water
-paintbrush
-tealight candles


How to make it:

-Collect small leaves and other foliage from outside. Be sure there’s still some life in the leaves – they shouldn’t be too dry or crumbly. (Note: We found several of our leaves on bushes as their leaves are smaller.) Once selected, lay leaves in a single layer and place a large book on top to flatten them. Leave for an hour or two.


-Spread a layer of white craft glue on the outside of the votive holder. Stick the leaves to the glue and press into place. Let dry.

-Mix equal parts of water and white craft glue to create a decoupage paste.

-Tear tissue paper into squares about one to two inches in size.

-Use a paintbrush to glue the tissue paper over the leaves using the decoupage mixture. Overlap the tissue paper and make sure all of the glass is covered. Carry over the lip of the votive holder as well and be sure that the tissue paper is decoupaged against the inside of the glass.

-Allow the jars to dry overnight.

-Place a tea light candle inside each votive holder!

Holiday Greetings Recording session

Team Osan,




An Army and Air Force Hometown News Service holiday greetings team will

setup here Oct 14-15 from 0800 to 1700 behind Turumi Lodge at the Lodge

pavilion.



The team will record individual 10 to 20-second greetings for the

holiday season aimed at family and friends back home. Anyone with a

family tie within the U.S. and its territories are eligible.



There are a few guidelines to make sure greetings are seen by family and

friends during the holidays:



1. Service members need to wear their duty uniform



2. Family members need to be with their sponsor, unless their sponsor is

deployed. If that is the case, the family member should mention that

fact in her or his greeting.



3. Family information is vital. Names of family members, their

relationship to you, their street address, city, state and ZIP Code, as

well as phone number needs to be included. Stations often let family

members know when the video will be aired, and in some cases, will

interview the family for

extended coverage. If you have family in a different area, you can fill

out a second card and send a greeting to that area as well.



4. Try to break away during off-peak times during the day to conduct

your interview. The team will normally be in an area throughout the day,

so try to avoid the "rush" times of lunch and after work.



5. When in front of the camera, reading a script is not necessary, but

it may be helpful to take a moment to plan out what you'd like to say.

The main points to get across include your name, your family members'

names, where you are stationed and who you'd like to send the greeting

to:



"I'm Staff Sergeant John Williams with my wife Kathy and sons Kevin and

David stationed at Osan AB, Republic of Korea. We'd like to say seasons'

greetings to our family and friends in St. Louis. Hi Mom, Hi Dad. We

love you, miss you and hope to see you soon."



The video and audio greetings are packaged according to geographic

areas, normally by state. In large states like California, Texas,

Florida and New York, stations will get greetings based upon region.

Stations normally air the greetings throughout the holiday season, from

Thanksgiving through New Year's.



Each greeting will normally play more than once throughout the holidays,

and usually on more than one station.



All servicemembers, their families and DOD civilians who will be outside

of the U.S. during the holiday season are encouraged to participate.



Reminders will be sent out as the event draws closer, but mark your

calendars now. For more information, please contact TSgt Stacy Foster or

Capt Matthew Stines at 784-4044.
