A Year In Review ★

I started the year with the resolution of thinking outside the box and quit my job as Art Director of the Québec city filmmaker's coop to follow my dreams! I started the You're The Boss Apple Sauce series on the blog to share tips I learned along the way on being a freelancer and small business owner.

Ramiro and I won our biggest prize so far with our short film Raymond May Have Rabies. Yee haw! We also walked the red carpet together once again, though Ramiro refused to dress up (or shave).

I traveled to Chicoutimi to attend a short film festival for the second year in a row.

I started thrift shopping and it became my favorite kind of shopping (with on-line shopping of course!). I also opened a little vintage boutique, my first foray into e-commerce.

I produced and directed 12 new roof top videos with musicians, bringing the total to 24! We also launched our blog, where you can see all the videos and on set pictures!

I took a romantic little beach vacation to Maine with Ramiro and it rained the whole entire time (but we had so much fun!).

I made new friends and got to meet some amazing fellow bloggers like Sarah and Gaëlle!

I became a vegetarian and started sharing recipes on the blog!

I made a few videos around my city, including this one for my friend Elisabeth's engagement.

And worked my bootie off to produce Ramiro's first feature film, which we start shooting in 4 days! 2011 was also the year my latest Super-8MM movie production came out, now in festivals across the word!

These are a few highlights that made the past year a happy and productive one! 2011 was the year to put my plan in motion, 2012 will be the year to see it come true and take things to the next level! You can also visit my 2010 Year in Review to see how it all began.

Looking back on the blessings in our lives is a great way to feel full of happiness and get inspired for the year to come, may it be a fabulous one for all of us!
