I’m going here for a week. Not exactly what’s pictured, but pretty close. My father-in-law lives in the Denver foothills, so we’ll be hiking and swimming and relaxing in the warm Colorado sun. I may post and I may not… I’ll just go with the flow. Hope you are enjoying your summer!… Continue Reading

The Simple Art of Advertising
I’m just beginning to dip my toe in the advertising pool and I thought it would be chilly! But to my cynical surprise, there are many warm and friendly resources out there to teach us newbies how to get started. One of my favorite places for advice is Modish Biz Tips. Jena takes seemingly complex…… Continue Reading
I’m No Athlete… or am I?
Since my girlhood, I’ve loved to be outside. Labeled a tomboy, I would spend hours in the sandbox, on my bike and swinging in the backyard. You could also find me snuggled in bed with books for hours on end or watching Charlie’s Angels and The Hardy Boys (LOVED Shaun Cassidy). Now, instead of enjoying…… Continue Reading

RiverDog Prints is on Etsy

I’ve been including handwritten notes with every order for awhile now. It just feels right, especially…… Continue Reading

Flickr Photo Friday
I’m taking a class at Jessica Sprague’s site called Photo Editing: Frame-ups and Special Effects. I’ve been learning subtle things to use in my photo cards, so it’s been worth it. They have a great community over there, so check it out if it’s something you’re interested in. Happy Friday!… Continue Reading
SoFoBoMo
What IS that? SoFoBoMo is short for Solo Photo Book Month – a group event where a bunch of photographers all make solo photo books start to finish, in 31 days, at more or less the same time. It’s modeled loosely on NaNoWriMo, where participating writers all write novels in a month, and NaSoAlMo, where…… Continue Reading
Monthly Goals for July
Jena at Modish Biz Tips is keeping me honest with my business goals at her Monthly Goal Meetup. Thanks again, Jena, for supplying a place we can gather together and cross things OFF! Below is what I crossed-off for the month of June and what’s coming up for July. June Business Goals 1* Finish taking…… Continue Reading
