A Look Back at 2016 at My Red Glasses

First and foremost Happy New Year and best wishes for all of the good things that we are hopeful that the New Year will bring our way.  As many of you may have read, we took last week off to spend time with family and recharge our much needed batteries….in my home that is time with my family, which includes all of the loves of my life and of course, a quickie trip to NYC to celebrate early with my bro and his family, which included a new addition this year, in precious Prima!  I cherished my time as I know Julie did with her clan!

So, we know that we are politically fatigued from the year we have had and feel that we are excited about moving forward and some of the many things that we have inside our creative brains that we want to do differently this year…….CHANGE is the way of the future. It’s what everyone wants and that every industry is looking into.   Stay tuned and more info will follow.

However, we both felt that before we could move forward we wanted to take a look back at some of the many fun and exciting things that we were a part of this past year.  Below, are just a few highlights for us and hopefully you will enjoy taking a look back with us, as well.  I see this being a reflective week for us…….so once again, please keep following us, we are so grateful for you, as we move forward into 2017 at My Red Glasses!
