Heading out...

2011-12-31T23:59:00.000-08:00

While I have really enjoyed the 365 project, however working a full-time job outside of my home has made the project a huge committment! I have completed two years of the project and have met some amazing people; some of which I feel I have known forever :-) I will continue to follow all of you and your 2012 project!

Since working on the 365 project, I have pretty much neglected my other blog!! I have decided to cease posting pictures daily here, but will be submitting blog posts as I can HERE !!!

I hope you follow me on over the my main blog and continue to follow my life, family and photography growth (I will be enjoying a couple of classes from Tracy, YEAH!!!).

HAPPY 2012 to you all!!!
