oh, my poor neglected blog!

I have been so bad about posting.  I am setting a goal to post a lot more often.  I would love to share tutorials, customer photos, tips and tricks and maybe a few other goodies.  Life here in Alaska has been a bit crazy!  We leave for Alabama in a few short months.  I am now embracing the thought of moving, but it hasn’t been easy.  We have been stationed here in Kodiak, Alaska for almost 8 years.  It is the only place my two younger kids know, really.  But we came here as an adventure, and now it is time for a new adventure… MOBILE, ALABAMA!!!

I am actually really excited about getting to Mobile.  We are in the process of purchasing our first home, as we have lived in military housing for the pas 8 years.  I am not excited about the cleaning, sorting, purging and packing – that stresses me out!  I am really looking forward to our beautiful home, being able to shop (locally!!!!), great restaurants, and oh so many more things.  I will be putting J.Marie on hold for the months of June and July, but will be back full force in August once we get settled and unpacked.

I have to share these photos I got back from the cutest little model, Cooper Lee.  He is such a handsome lil dude!  Cannot wait to work with him again.  I am working on getting model packages out for other bookings.

Things got a bit behind when I had to have eye surgery.  But I am 100% now and feeling great.  Thanks for all the well wishes.

I will be trying to post more often.  If there is a technique you would like to see featured, please email me.

YIKES!!! EMAIL ISSUES

Holy Email issue!!!! If you have emailed J.Marie in the past oh, say, 2-3 weeks and haven’t received a response, it could be because my email was in limbo somewhere. Today I received 500+ messages from over the past month. YIKES, serious email hiccup! I have a new email designsbyjmarie@gmail.com I will be sifting thru these as I have time today. Some have come thru, but I’m guessing the majority have not. So sorry to anyone waiting for a reply.
