So I promised the football girls...  one request... 

Just tell me name and tag you want,...  I will be doing a few more but not all teams... unfortunately the colors aren't always right.  I will leave this open for a bit in case you want to see what else I come up with.

Examples-
1. A newborn baby, a shot of him or her arriving home, a few close ups like baby booties..bottles...
2. Vacation trip- could be any shots that relate to each other.
3. Wedding-bride &amp; groom, closeup of flowers with rings, a church/alter shot

I need an email address if you request a tag see note below

****PLEASE READ****
This is very important. Unlike AOL blogger does not give me an email when I receive your comment alert. I never saved addresses in AOL, so I don't have them, or I have no idea who you are as I don't see your AOL username. I must have an email address when you request a tag. If I don't, your request will be ignored. </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dsdesignsandotherthings.blogspot.com/feeds/3795493311600260147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8772051128738066375&amp;postID=3795493311600260147&amp;isPopup=true' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8772051128738066375/posts/default/3795493311600260147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8772051128738066375/posts/default/3795493311600260147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dsdesignsandotherthings.blogspot.com/2008/12/tag-request-santa-baby.html' title='~ Tag Request - Santa Baby ~'/><author><name>D</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12931624418205015072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5rdtMFVhaUg/TF9BVCRgyAI/AAAAAAAAAIg/RQxTnlZcus8/S220/Ds+Designs+Me+1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772051128738066375.post-8604146655669261132</id><published>2008-12-10T20:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T21:14:22.470-05:00</updated><title type='text'>~ Dr Follow Up ~</title><summary type='text'>
