Here’s wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season!  I’m one of those people who has all the right intentions of getting cards out for Christmas, but never quite make it.  (I think I may have successfully sent out cards in 1995.)  And, every year, I say the same thing – well, I missed Christmas, so I’ll send out New Year’s cards.  That comes and goes and still no mailing.  Believe it or not, one year, I even bought a whole set of St. Paddy’s day cards to send out and, yes, I still have them (along with the ill-fated New Years cards of 2005).  Well, if I had sent out Christmas cards last year, here’s what they would have looked like (yes, they were designed last year and they feature our dogs, Chica and Juno):

I also planned and designed cards this year as well, again featuring Chica and Juno – but at almost 16, Chica isn’t jumping much anymore - I managed to give a few away but I don’t think any of them actually saw a stamp -

So, to all of you successful card senders, I applaud you and I humbly say, thank you!

Many more sessions to blog that I haven’t gotten to – in the meantime, thank you for stopping by, and for my wonderful customers and friends, thank you for all of your support!

Wow – it’s been a long time since my last post.  Lots of things going on here – I had friends and family in town over the last two weeks and we spent a week in the Shenandoah mountains.  The fall colors were fantastic!  I’ve got lots to blog about now to catch up with the past sessions so stay tuned for a bunch of new images. 

Every year, the holiday preparations start earlier and earlier – I remember when I thought it was too soon to think about Christmas before December 1.  Gone are those days!

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the things we’re working on for the holidays – they include holiday cards (of course), photo gift tags and photo candy bars.  The only problem with the candy bars is that I have to keep a lot of them in stock because I keep eating them!  The model for these products is KC – he is a volunteer with Fairfax Pets on Wheels and we recently had a photo fundraiser for their organization.  Images from that will be posted soon.  Without further ado (had to look this up – it really is ado and not adieu) – here’s KC.
