Glints and Glimmers of 2009
On the last day of the year—of the decade for that matter—we often reflect on the past. Although there is always bitter in the sweet, looking back at 2009 through a Shutter Sisters lens we can focus on the sweet stuff and celebrate our creative milestones and collective accomplishments.
As far as the big ones; the Picture Hope win was HUGE & the start of the Picture Hope journey was and will continue to be an amazing and inspired. Jen and Stephanie are rockin’ that thing and putting our collaborative efforts to good use; making such a difference in the lives they touch. And they are the first ones to say that they are reaping similar benefits just by telling the stories of these incredible women. It’s been a bright and shiny highlight here at Shutter Sisters.
And our first ever In Real Life Event was the Shutter Suite at BlogHer. Wow! It was beyond wonderful. The venue was superb, the featured brands in the Suite were stellar and the sisters (and a few bothers) that spend time with us in our Suite were of the highest caliber. It was another gem of the year and only got us more excited about making a Shutter Sisters event a reality for 2010!
Beyond that there were plenty of sisterly sparkles like being featured in The Kirtsy Book and in Artful Blogging Magazine, Kate's new book, Paige's calendar template, Sarah's presets, Andrea and Jen's Mondo Beyondo class, Tracey's involvment with The OC Daily Photo Blog and The Creative Mama, Irene's feature in Small Magazine, Maile's camera bags, tons of amazing guest posts by so many of you and adding the likes of Meredith, Kristin, Alex and Chris onto our (regular yet extraordinary) contributor list.
We say bid farewell in gratitude for a successful and satisfying year. We celebrate and appreciate this sisterhood more than we can ever express! Thank you all for such a grand 09. We can't wait to greet 2010 with you!
How about you? What pretty things are you looking back on? Send out the year by sharing your sparkles! 10, 9, 8...

Today I am specifically thinking about gardening -

But highlights of the year were making further progress on my flight phobia, several great trips, and beginning to write more and have essays published!
My "glints and glimmers" were every time I was peering through the lens of my camera. Nothing gives me more joy. Here are various images from this past year I especially love:
