Hurricane Wake Up Call

I hope everyone is recovering and drying out from the hurricane this past weekend. The experience was truly scary and stressful and I hope to not have to go though this again for a very long time. Thankfully we had little damage to our complex with just trees uprooted and the loss of our hot water. It could have been so much worse if the storm just tracked slightly differently but so many towns in the NY tri-state area are under water as well as states along the East Coast. My heart breaks for them and makes me realize how important life is and how fast things can change.

One good thing that came out of this hurricane ordeal was it was a wake up call to better organize and digitize all my old photos & memorabilia ASAP. All of my digital photos and scrapbook designs/layouts are saved on my EHD but all of my old photos from high school and college aren’t. So my project for Labor Day Weekend is to get all this in order – a big project but certainly worth it!

Pink Ink Studios News


Since taking my break from blogging to redo my website, Pink Ink Studios announced it was closing at the end of August. Although this is sad news, I understand that all good things must come to an end. I’m grateful for my treasured time at Pink Ink Studios designing and working with some fabulous ladies. I’ve loved getting to know my customers and delivering designs that make photographers happy. With PIS closing I’ll be taking custom orders on my website via my contact form. Eventually I hope to sell my current products either via my site or on Etsy, which I’m still deciding on. Some of my items though will be retired and not sold again – so check out the retiring section in the store at PIS. Also there will be lots of sales and specials in the next few weeks on old and new things, so keep an out out on Facebook for those deals. And last but not least I have a new freebie design available for fans on Facebook, so pop on over there and fan me to get it.

On Top of the World

Here’s my latest and greatest layout using Michelle Underwood’s new kit, On Top of the World. In this layout are my adorable niece and nephew on their first day of summer camp this year.

New Site & Birthday Shout Out!

I’m back! The updated site has been long overdue and I’m super excited to have it up and running, so take a peak around. A huge thanks goes to my husband, John for getting it up and making it look all spiffy. Speaking of John, I want to wish him a fabulous birthday today! Looking forward to spending a fun evening with you at the Mets game and then seeing INXS on Thursday! Happy Birthday!
