Happy 2016! I unintentionally took a little break from blogging...okay a big break. Life gets so full and time runs out and well-something has to give. As a business owner, in a creative and client service oriented field, with a very concentrated busy season, it is a challenge to juggle all of the planning and actually doing with the everything else-blogging, writing, social media...
We have had a wonderful, exciting year, for which I am very grateful, we enjoyed our health, our time and enjoyed camping, designing, planning and executing wonderful celebrations for our dear clients. We kept busy with driving all over the state delivering and picking up our custom event rentals, cutting 20 inches off of my hair, logging lots of water miles in the canoe and spending time with our growing family of nieces. We did some roofing, some work on the house, the yard, the camper, our rental inventory, and filled our cups with raising and educating our daughter...
We have many beautiful weddings to share, a birthday party, some new projects and offerings and I will be getting to all that in the coming weeks and months on the blog.
Scroll down for a sneak peek of some of what we have been up to and of a few of the stories yet to come!
