May 10th, 2013

What an amazing few weeks it has been! This group starts at the end of my pregnancy. Distractions from my 42 week gestation included: my sister’s new puppy, an art exhibit in Richmond, baby showers, cats (duh), fixing up the nursery and stocking the freezer, and pretty spring flowers during one of MANY walks. And finally…Isaac Bennett’s arrival! You can expect pretty much all baby photos from here on out. He’s just so sweet and cute! Happy Spring to you all :)

Around the same time that Sarah Bell contacted me to create a website for her law firm, another local attorney reached out to me as well.

Instagram Update

March 26th, 2013

Here’s the latest on what I’ve been up to in the form of little square photos! This group starts with a trip to Columbia to see the Gamecocks play, followed by some Halloween fun. Next was my birthday in D.C., and some obligatory kitty snuggles.  We took another day trip, this time to Charlottesville, with some crafting for my baby niece thrown in here and there. And that takes us up to the holidays! I miss the pretty glow of the Christmas tree in our living room, but I’m ready for some Spring weather. How did you spend the last days of winter?

Alpacaville, LLC is an agricultural farm in Deale, Maryland, featuring, you guessed it, alpaca. Farm owner Beverly Heiberger is also the owner of Quality Calibrations, Inc., another GetCreative designed site.

In 2012 they started out with four gorgeous alpaca ladies, and have grown in strength and numbers ever since.
