Surprise!
This is the big surprise I’ve been working on….
That’s right, I’m becoming a full time designer + blogger in January! Leigh-Ann and I are so excited for our new adventure together, and to get to work in our gorgeous new studio!
Dates To Look Forward To:
Dec 1 – Leigh-Ann’s new blog design launch
Dec 13 – My guest spot on LA-TV, Leigh-Ann’s live streaming craft show
Dec 13 – The launch of the Freckled Nest Design, our web design HQ
January – LA and I starting our monthly video challenges
There will be lots more on this in the coming weeks, but for now enjoy our announcement and studio tour vlog :)
i just now watched the whole video since i didn’t have time before but now i need to add this: COULD YOU GUYS BE ANY CUTER? i think not. again, congratulations. i am SO excited for you!!
Like a trillion people haven’t said this already but …
CONGRATULATIONS!
This is absolutely amazing news. I’m thrilled for you. I hope I get to work with you one day – somehow, someway. Kyla – the universe conspires to help you. Someone once told me that once that when a thought goes out into the world it becomes energy. You might not see electricity but you know that the energy is there.
YAY!! Congratulations!! This sounds like a wonderful opportunity and a great adventure! And every time you said “out” it made me realize how LAME the way we Americans say it and how AWESOME the way you Canadians say it.
Hi Kyla!!! Congratulations to both you & Leigh-Ann! Your video was so awesome and it was really inspiring to see your enthusiasm and excitement! You are doing great things and it just makes me feel like saying “YAAAAY!!” and jumping up and down with you ladies! Thanks for sharing your journey – I love seeing others achieve their dreams, as I’m on my own path to do the same (I just opened up my photography business in October). It is wonderful to be a part of an encouraging community! Soooo happy for you (& happy December, too!)!
I am so, so proud of you for having the courage to pursue this, Kyla! You and Leigh Anne are going to do a fabulous job. I only wish I lived closer to Winnipeg so that I could come pop by every now and then. You’re going to be amazing. Well you already are, but you know what I mean. =)
I’m so happy for you and Leigh-Ann! This project sounds so exciting!
I am so happy for you. I feel like doing my own happy dance.
You know I think this is just fabulous but I wanted to leave a hip!hip!hurrah! comment here too. Well done, lady! I am excited to see what’s in store for you.
Congrats on your new adventures! <33
