I know we said it was coming a few weeks ago… sorry for the delay! I never knew that setting up a shop would be so difficult. We probably should have had someone help us set it up, as I’ve never been a programmer before! 🙂 Marissa’s hubby Weston helped out a bit, and now we’re just putting on the finishing touches before we officially launch the shop. Thanks for your patience… it’s almost here!!! 🙂

Today while I was working out I was listening to Sarah Macintosh’s awesome album. For the first time I really, really soaked in her lyrics to the song “Stop, Stop” on her latest album “The Waiters, Watchers,the Listeners the Keepers & Me.”
I can’t get over how gorgeous this song is. She talks about moving away from her old identity into who God wants her to be and how it is only her own self that is holding her back. Beautiful.
“Lately,
I’ve begun to see how
Maybe you’re old
and I’m the
New me
now let me go
Forward,
I am moving ever
Onward,
getting closer to what
I’m worth
a Kings own Son”
I love that last line. I was so moved by it I just had to post. I highly recommend this album. Click here to listen to the full tracks on her My Space page. It is also available for purchase on Itunes.
Happy Sunday! – Marissa
Hey workshop gals… just wanted to let you know that Jolie Wraps is providing some awesomely delicious appetizers for everyone this Tues night at the cocktail party. It’s going to be a great way to kick-off the SD workshop – can’t wait to meet everyone! See you in a few days!
At the Paris workshop, I talked a lot about how to SAVE TIME on editing, imaging, & album design. You don’t have to slave your life away behind your computer screen! To prove a point, I made the claim that I could design an album in under an hour. So while all the workshop gals were working on their images… I was in this focused-nerdy-Kimberlee-world of album design. I tuned everything/everyone out, buckled down, and designed an album. The exact time it took me? 24 minutes. I’m a super competitive person, so when I challenge myself, I do everything in my power to complete the challenge. I didn’t realize just how focused I was until I saw this video Courtney posted on Facebook. What a nerd I am. Awesome. 🙂
In all seriousness, though… Marissa & I have found that we just love leading workshops, and we love tailoring the information to our attendees. If you all want an intensive lesson on the basics of Photoshop – we’ll do it. If most of the attendees are experts in PS, however, I am more than happy to delve into another topic, such as album design – or editing video – or creating a website with Showit. We want our workshop to be beneficial to you, so we definitely want to tailor it to fit your needs. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the San Diego workshop next week! See you soon!

There were so many wonderful days during our Europe adventure. This one in particular was very, very memorable. The palace of Versailles was beyond words, I can’t believe people lived so lavishly. I especially enjoyed imagining Marie Antoinette (my initial marketing inspiration for boudoir) walking up and down the grounds.
Kimberlee took this one of me n Westy Poo. I love it.
Weston posted hundreds of photos on our Boucher blog if you have some spare time and want to check them out.
Today was a big day for me here at the SD studio. After working on my big revamp plan for marketing, packages and the overall business model for at least 5 months now, I just held an office meeting today and gave all the gals here the low down on the changes. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Big changes for us. Whew! So much to think about. – Marissa
