Snow Shoeing in Estes

Filed under: Engagement, Estes Park — Jennifer @ 09:24

One thing I love about Colorado is we can wake up to a 50 degree day but drive 20 minutes and be in a winter wonderland. On Sunday it was 50 degrees in Lyons so we went up to Estes Park to snow shoe with our friends Jennifer and Ryan.  I took some photos of their impromptu snow ball fight and snow angel design. We had a great time.

Flight for Life

Filed under: Lyons — Jennifer @ 11:31

Steve, Sparky and I went for a short hike down to the St Vrain last weekend and noticed a helicopter circling over head. Soon the bird began to come down and we were witnessing a flight for life operation in the Lyons High School parking lot. Since Lyons is the double gateway to the Rockies we often worry about car and bike accidents on 36 or 7 but this rescue was for a Pinewood Springs resident. I don’t know the details but we snapped a couple pictures of the helicopter leaving.

New Year, Old Earth

Filed under: Green Goals, Retail Therapy, Random Thoughts — Jennifer @ 10:55

Welcome 2008!  The beginning of the year is always my favorite time to reflect, review and revitalize.  What went well in 2007, what didn’t go well.  What do I want to change in 2008.

One of my intentions for 2008 is to implement some green policies for the business.  Below is the list of some of the things I am doing or about to start.

  • Archival products.  I love that my products – photographs and albums – are items that you will cherish for generations.  I search for the highest quality items so that your grandchildren will enjoy the image we create today.
  • Online Proof Viewing – no disposable prints
  • Work with Album companies that have green goals and animal friendly covers.
  • Use Rechargeable Batteries
  • Green Printing for my business cards and marketing materials.  I am using recycled papers and soy inks and a company committed to eco friendly practices.
  • Green Printing option for your cards and announcements.  

I have always had the ideal that every little bit helps.  These intentions may seem small but if everyone did just a little bit the old earth will be a little bit happier.

Please share more ideas for going green in the comment section.

 Cheers to the new year!

Jennifer
