Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!!

Thanks to ALL of my WONDERFUL clients that have made this Christmas season as stress free as possible... i really appreciate it!

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas...

Russ and I will be visiting family up north. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us... I'd LOVE to see some snow this year, i just don't really want to be stuck in an airport when i see it!!!

And just reminding ya'll... the studio WILL BE CLOSED December 19th-26th to spend time with my family :)

...I'll be back in the studio on the 27th (weather permitting - of course!)

any clients waiting on proofs or orders will be called to set up appts for pick ups then.

so. unless you REALLY feel it necessary to call me... don't.

LOL! j/k

but really, I'll have limited time to return calls and emails.

...just keep that in mind.

(thought i'd share the front of our christmas card with all of ya'll... enjoy!)

Tis the SEASON!

...for the craziness... LOL!!

It's just plain NUTS over here this year.
(...i'm not complaining :) just stating facts...)
so. sorry about slacking on the blog lately. but, i really enjoy my sleep... lol... so ya know... when it comes down to blogging or sleep... that's gonna win ANY DAY!!

Hope everybody had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
I did, actually, take the day off! I know, huh?!!?
And i sure did eat like 6 different kinds of desserts... it was WONDERFUL!
Didn't wake up and do the whole "shop till ya drop" thing though. again... sleeping is a favorite hobby of mine lately ;)

What else. what else... oh! Our Limited Editions went over well!
...had too much fun playin in the "snow"... and we ended up having a few clients come in for a Traditional Christmas background too! Those came out cute as well!

And, just as a reminder... we're past the deadline to be able to get orders back without a rush...
so keep that mind, please.

ALRIGHT. i think that's it for the moment... i'll be posting images soon.
so keep checking back!
