And this, my friends...

...is a photo taken in the totally remodeled and finally finished in spite of many delays but never forgotten studio!

 

Hah! Can you believe it?

Kent snapped this during a photo shoot on Tuesday. (That's Brian, a great photographer and really nice guy.) I know I left everyone hanging on the status of the studio and I apologize for that. But I promise to give you a full update with more photos in a couple of days.

There's so much to talk about, by the way! What have I been doing? Well...there's the new book that's coming out in May. There's the new magazine and website from Simple Scrapbooks that I've been working on. There's the project with a fantastic album company to tell about. There's the 2007 Big Picture Scrapbooking class lineup. (Doing it Digi starts today!) And, of course, there's the new studio.

And the best news is that in the course of getting ready for this photo shoot, as I unpacked box after box, I've filled a box with cool stuff to give away to you here!

Yay!

Well...gotta run. More to come...I promise!

later...

Woo Hoo. You're back! What a nice surprise. I have pre-ordered the book and am anxiously awaiting a new BPS class. Say you have something NEW for all of us "Renee Groupies"!!
Congrats on the gorgeous studio.

[Linda]

I'm obsessed!!
Saw the "Digital Desktop Calendar" and "Shutterfly Book" classes on BPS ... don't have a clue what they are about, but WANT to take them just because it's YOU!!!
But WHEN do they start? I couldn't find that info.

[Cheryl Dyer]

Oh My! We've definitely missed you but when I got my new digital magazine and saw "associate editor" so I figured that was one of the things keeping you occupied! I'm happy life is going so well for you... Welcome back.. we hope you stay (blogging that is.. LOL)

Hey look who is back. Can't wait to hear all the detail of everything you have been up to.

[September Radecki]

So glad to see you post!!! It's been way too long. The studio looks SO darn good, Renee, you must be thrilled! You inspired me to work on mine and really THINK about how I use my space. I'm so happy with how it flows now, and there were so many things I just didn't have "right" that are working now. Hmmmm. Gonna have to go look at the new classes someone mentioned. hmmmmm. :-D

[janel]

So great to see your new studio and your new post. I can hardly wait until the new book comes out...hoping we can pre-order it! I have taken both of your classes, and I refer back to my printed out "manual" often..Thank you for your excellent work, and I am looking forward to more classes! Have a great one!

[Edith]

You are back! :-) I am looking forward to seeing the results of your wonderful projects. I can't wait to receive my first issue of the digital scrapbooking magazine (I haven't seen it yet in Europe)... :-)

[Nancy]

I'm so glad you're back. Your classes are the best ones I've taken at BPS. I learned so much and I thought I was pretty savvy at picture editing. Your classes went so far beyond just basic editing. They were terrific.

[Carol]

What a great studio. Can't wait to see more pics!

[Donna Bettencourt]

Yay!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you are back Renee. I loved visiting with you at CHA and wished we had more time. The studio looks great and I can't wait for a more in-depth peek. I did buy the digital magazine issue so I am still hanging in there and will learn this yet!! Thanks for touching base here.
