Freedom at Last

It finally happened. I went to my computer yesterday and realized that my Christmas orders had all been placed and that I had no more cards to design. I have to admit I felt a little lost and without direction. After that millisecond passed, however, a feeling of overwhelming joy took over and I could taste freedom in all its glory. Freedom from photoshop, freedom from decisions about stripes vs. dots, freedom from uploading & downloading (I still don't know the difference, by the way), and freedom to enjoy the holiday with my family.

Please don't get me wrong, my dear clients. I thrive on deadlines and pressure, and actually invite this chaos into my world every Christmas season. I actually do love taking holiday pictures. Every September/October I gear up for the holiday kick off knowing that I won't stop for 3 solid months. I liken it to the feeling you have right before summer - except without the pool, the kids, the sunscreen, the heat, etc. I digress. It is so worth it when I get to see how much your kids have grown in a year, or I get to meet a new baby, or most of all when I get to hear your kids laugh at my silly jokes. You are the reason I come back year after year.

HOWEVER, freedom is nice and is very welcome at my party. So what will I do with my new found freedom? Address and send out MY Christmas cards, shop for my kids' presents, look at Christmas lights with my family (have you checked out the house on Congressional?), listen to holiday music and soak in all that is CHRISTMAS. I love this time of year, as I'm sure you do too, and I hope you receive so much of the joy you have brought me. The merriest of Christmases to you!!

Staying Focused,

Jamie
