It's Here!!!

So I escaped for a while. Okay, make that a long while. 2, almost 3 months has past since my last post and now it’s time I get back into the groove of things. To give a brief explanation as to where I have been hiding. In short, I’ve been with my family. November was a tough month for all of us as shortly after my last post we began attending funerals. Between Glen’s family and mine, 7 Uncles have either been diagnosed with a horrible disease or have passed away from one. Needless to say, after seven loved ones, I’ve had enough egg salad sandwiches.





Christmas came and went and I enjoyed every minute of it. We stayed put, refused to load the kids up in the van, and after 3 years, finally had a Christmas at home. It was wonderful. My husband had to work throughout but it worked out well. We had a huge family supper at my mother’s house and not short of 44 guests enjoyed a huge potluck. On comes the New Year and I’ve been in my basement, working like a dog trying to get every inch of my business venture up and running. Meeting with an accountant, setting up prices and packages, paperwork, advertising, and the biggest thing of all:

My Website!!

I’m so exciting about it. I’ve worked really hard trying to design something that would allow me to do exactly what I want: make it easier for me and easier for you. There are online galleries that will allow you to share a link to family and friends so they can see your photos too, download them if they like and purchase prints online! I’ve teamed up with Smugmug who provide an excellent service and fantastic quality products for a great price. These prints can be delivered right to your door, so you don’t have to do a thing. I’ve learned so much HTML code, CSS code, and every other type of code that I think I’ve turned into a slight geek, lol. (btw, I love geek’s). I’ve crashed-coursed it with the help of Google (I love Google too) and a VERY patient husband as well as some direct phone calls to a SmugMug customizer David Wolf, who listened to my ignorance with code with the flair only a Yankee can muster… lol.

Speaking of the US of A, I have to say that I’m really kinda beaming with some pride about the recent inauguration of their 44th President, Barack Obama. If you didn’t get a chance to see it (where were you??) it was astounding to see the number of people come together to show their support for one another and this new administration. It was amazing that with an estimated 1.8 million people in attendance that there wasn't a single incident or arrest made. I can't imagine the number of photos that were taken of that day. Speaking of which, if you weren't watching CNN that day, you probably missed this really cool technology, called Photosynth. CNN coloaborated with it's audience and took every photo uploaded of President Obama's Oath ceremony and put them all together to form The Moment. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out.

Don't forget the Exclusive Tab for current deals and promotions!! Please explore around, checking out links, viewing photos, etc. I would really appreciate any feedback that you may have or if you notice any errors that I may need to address. I am slow at Code but I will do my best to get it corrected.

In the meantime, I'm going to emerge from my basement and start snapping photos again. I've had enough of the behind the scenes business stuff and I'm hoping I've go enough done to at least present myself with some style. I'm looking forward to this year and meeting new faces, and most of all, taking photos of those new faces.

See you around!
