So far, a lot of changes in 2012

Had a very successful wedding shoot at the end of June, of which I'll post more in a longer post later this month. Here is my current favourite photo from the portraits session.

My apologies for no blog posts this Spring/Early Summer - we bought a house in April and moved in June and WOW! it's a lot of work! Because of the nature of  my husband's work, he really can't make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls so 99% of the house purchase tasks fell to me. We also bought our first car a week before the move. Crazy, I know.


Work was just as hectic as we announced two really awesome projects that required a lot of communications planning, social media and A/V elements.

We're settling in well with a few small projects planned for updates/upgrades before the end of the year. We have so much more space than our previous rental. A garage is a luxury I didn't think I ever really needed but now realize that it has huge advantages. Also, I'm already planning my craft projects for Christmas. Hopefully I can reach my goal and have all of them done by the end of October.

Will post again soon, promise!
