Two Days To Go...

OK, so all the prints, frames, and marketing materials arrived today and the studio is officially a chaotic mess.  Thank God for all the help, or I don't know what I'd do.  One of the new Associate Photographers-In-Training, Laura, has been incredible.  She's shown up every day for a week and helped me hang things, sort things, put things in and on things, and generally just make me feel like this is all going to come together.  Thanks Laura!!  I've also had some great help from Scott, Evelyn, Nina, and Marisa, more Associate Photographers.  They've shown up to pitch in and helped to keep things moving forward.  Thanks guys!  Then there's my best friend in the world, Diana. She's not a photographer, just an amazing friend who never fails to pull through for me.  Thank you so much.
On top of getting the studio operational, I also have to get it ready for an Open House, so I brought in extra tables and tablecloths. 
Just looking at these pictures stresses me out!  Those tutus turned out to be a wrinkled, scrunched up mess from being stuffed in a trunk for so long, so they need to be steamed with my little hand-steamer one at a time, which is taking forever.  Laura pitched in with that hand-cramping job.

By the end of the day, we got most of the trash out of the studio to make room for the furniture delivery the next morning.  Less than 48 hours to go until the Chamber of Commerce comes to the Ribbon Cutting.  Um.... yeah.
