Website Update - Part II

OK, I lied. My new website isn't up yet :) However, it will be launched this week. I promise!

There are still a few things my designer is working on, but 99% of the site is completed. We will be adding music and videos later, which will complete the overall feel and look of the new layout.

I am still trying to get the hang of blogging. I know it's been 3 weeks since my last entry, but I think we all know how it feels to have so much to do with so little time.

On a personal note, I really enjoy reading books about leadership and business. I am currently reading "Talent is Never Enough" by John Maxwell - a Christian writer / motivational speaker who is famous for his leadership books. Here's one quote he quoted (not by him) in the book that caught my attention:

"There are many things that will catch my eye, but there are only a few that catch my heart. It is those I consider to pursue." - Tim Redmond

Isn't this the key to quality craft made with heart?

Grace Ormonde's FIRST Hawaii photo shoot

Finishing Touch is so thrilled and honored when Grace Ormonde invites us to be a part of their first Hawaii photo shoot. Grace Ormonde is truly the trend setter for today's wedding design. Weddings and editorials featured in the magazine are always so fashion forward, unique and simply beautiful. I have always been a huge fan of the magazine, and I am very excited to be a part of this table top design photo shoot. I will be spending this upcoming week to brainstorm design ideas and hope to come up with something that will truly represent Hawaii and its beauty. I will be sure to post pictures from our shoot on April 1st; the magazine issue should launch this fall/winter 2008 nationwide.
