Well it's been quite a crazy and exciting year for me. As I reflect upon it, I recall many tears of sadness, frustration and tears of joy. I also recall and am grateful for the many friends, both personal friends and friends in my industry- who have seen me through to a very happy place in my life.

At this time, I simply want to say "thank you" to all of those who have supported me in one way or another. My family and I are healthy, happy and full of love and gratitude. My companies are doing well and show much promise for 2010. I am blessed, indeed.

I'll leave you with a snapshot of the photo we used for our Christmas card this year. Eric and I joke about being a "modern day Brady Bunch". He had two girls, I had two boys and together we've created much fun, chaos and love in our new blended family. We thought we'd poke a little fun at our new life together.

Our heading was "Have a Very Brady Christmas - from the Schuchart-Blum Family...(interviewing for Alice after the holidays!)"

I'll begin 2010 with a resolution to post more blogs and keep you updated on new design projects. Wishing you all a very safe holiday season and a 2010 full of health, love and prosperity!
