Monica and Ryan took a much-needed vacation to Crested Butte with long-time friend (and client) Trish Gumina-McMillen and her new hubby Jared. Crested Butte has been blessed with over 25 FEET of snow this season. We got a little over a foot of fresh Pow Pow while we were there.  Crested Butte (about 4.5 hrs from Denver) is one of those unique places that hasn't been ruined by modern day madness: no stoplights anywhere, no billboards, no McDonalds and no Starbucks. Ahhhhh.... Just fresh air and all the snow you can handle. Enjoy some of our pictures...

Also be sure to check out some glamour shots Jared and Trish took of Monica and Ryan on thier blog: www.studioatgblog.com. Be sure to scroll down on their blog to check out the adventures of Misterioso, our travel companion!

Well, it's the last day of working for 2007! What a gorgeous day here in Corpus Christi, Texas! McLeod Creative wishes everyone a very merry Christmas and a prosperous 2008! Lola and Riley, the office mascots, say "Merry Christmas" too! Notice there aren't any ornaments on the lower half of the tree. Thanks Lola!

The temperature will be 75 degrees today - nice S. Texas Christmas weather! The fog rolled in this morning and was quite thick!

Lola is the newest addition to the family. She'll be 5 months Dec. 20th and is already a heavyweight. Lola loves creative people!

Amistad Community Heath Center poster (and logo). McLeod donated a good bit of the design fees to help this faith-based health center get thier look together.

We've got the BIG bugs in TEXAS! This guy (or gal, don't really know) was perched outside Monica's house. Pretty cool when they aren't trying to fly through your hair!
