Getting there


Its almost time for these 15-16 hour days to start catching up, hopefully after our wedding this weekend we can rest a bit before the final holiday push. Most of our frames came in today, will unpack and check them in the morning before matching with prints. New signage for our display booth at Northpark Mall will be ready tomorrow, glad to finally have them up, at least for the end of this season. Always fun to end the day (at least the part of the day we are officially open) with a fun session, these guys were great and Dad proved just how much he supports the family!

ouch...

One of those "I'm glad I reached a stopping point because my eyes just popped out" kinda days. No sessions (we try not to schedule Monday sessions) so today was all about art work, transmitting to the lab, checking incoming orders from the lab, prepping orders for tomorrow, and the last two hours (giving a break to my eyes, uh huh right) listening to music clips for studio work, DVD presentations, website, ect. Very important for me to find and use music I will have royalty-free rights to, as an artist I hate to have my work copied so will certainly respect the rights of music artists. Unwind a bit watching the Saints/Falcons (just looked up and the Saints are winning right before half, well now they are losing thanks to heads up by Vick), read a little (Order of the Phoenix, again), get some sleep and hit the studio about 4 with a good cup of coffee.
