no wonder my home printer conked in the middle of the holiday rush. thankfully mindy, nicole and rick at priority printing were great about stepping in and taking on extra jobs when the printer died. i would have never completed all these projects without their help, from printing to cutting they were a huge help! i'm lucky to have them handling the majority of my digital and offset print jobs...they do great work.

as busy and hectic as it was i wouldn't have changed a thing. i had the opportunity to work with all my wonderful clients (many who i have been working with for years) and create designs that i absolutely loved! we even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to visit mickey and minnie in celebration of our granddaughter's 2nd birthday...merry christmas to me!
