Time Crunch!

Last night, my living room was filled with amazing photographers from all over the area and it was an absolute BLAST! We filled on delicious Christmas appetizers including peppermint bark popcorn and peppermint cocoa! My kitchen was FILLED with cookies … no joke. After many laughs and games, we had a cookie exchange and hung out and chat a little bit about business stuff. But you know what? It was WONDERFUL to be able to hang out 90% of the time and not talk business and just have the time to get to know each other! I wish we could do this all of the time! If you would like to join us the next gathering, email me your interest at info@stephaniemessick.com šŸ™‚

Today is a BUSY day! It was anticipated to be a very relaxing day with just shipping out last weekends sessions, but I now have a whole page of things I need to get through today before tomorrow! You see, tomorrow starts one last push through the year. In the next eight days, I have 2 weddings and 4 sessions! But after this, I am DONE for the year! What a year it has been! I’ll be sure to do a 2013 review at the end of the month to look back at everything that has been done and where I want to go with my business. Should be a great evaluation! For now, I’m off to complete my list of errands to complete before the end of the day! šŸ™‚ I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL start to their weekend!

Tomorrow is Brock and Caroline’s wedding day in Richmond! šŸ™‚ In this case, I’m hoping for overcast weather and NO rain! CROSSING FINGERS!
