It's Time to Say Goodbye
So, I planned on sticking around until ClubMom pulled the plug on me but it's getting hard. Most of the other ClubMommers have hung the closed sign in the door and it's starting to get a little eerie around this here ghost town.
It's almost Christmas and I figure most everyone is in a flurry of festivities anyway so it just feels like it's time to wrap myself up in my scarf, button up my coat and go join in the holiday hustle and bustle of the tangible world for a few weeks. That is just until Shutter Sisters awakens with the bright, shiny New Year. Our goal is to launch in Beta on January 21st. Even though we plan on it being a soft, rolling launch, you are all officially invited to come for a visit as soon as we open the doors. And stay a cup of tea. And scones. And if you like it, maybe we'll grab a pizza for dinner. What the heck.There is no one else I'd rather have come over than you ladies.
In the meantime I will be writing at Mother May I of course (everyone must come by for Best Shot Mondays-pleeeease) and I even might revamp things a bit over there which would include trying to get the archives from this blog to that one. Blink blink. We'll see how that one goes. None the less, it's time I let go...
And for fear of getting overly emotional, I will only say thank you. You all have given me so much..you have no idea. I only hope that we can continue to encourage and inspire one another along the way because wherever we are and whatever we do, we will always be shutter sisters.
Wow. I can't believe I get to be first, on this - the last post. That is so cool. I just want to say that I will follow you anywhere you go, Tracey (ok, without the risk of sounding a little stalker-ish) and just thank you for inspiring me to be a better photographer.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, no! I've been absent lately and must have missed the post about Club Mom shutting down ;-(
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything, Tracey. I know it sounds cheesy, but my life has changed because of photography, and your blog has been a HUGE part of that. You are an amazing person, and I feel so glad to have connected with you.
I will definitley continue to participate in BSM's, hopefully more regularly once we are moved and settled, and Shutter Sisters is on!!! Can't wait.
Happy holidays to you and yours!

What a lovely photo of you. I too am getting teary eyed, but so glad that we have Shutter Sisters to look forward to. It's been fun, and your blog has really inspired me in my photography. See you soon at SS, and of course will continue to check out MMI and the weekly BSMs!

I'll follow you anywhere. See you at Mother May I, and I can hardly wait for Shutter Sisters to be unveiled. You, dear lady, are such an inspiration.
Happy New Year.
