This Friday I will be a part of a very special event to raise money for cancer research and Jill and Jay Livingston (one of my wonderful couples from last winter).  Jay was diagnosed a few months ago with testicular cancer and has been through many treatments as well as surgeries ever since.  I am happy to say that I saw him a couple of days ago and he looks fantastic and he says he is feeling great!  The downfall to all of this is, of course, the $$$ it has cost them.  I am honored to be able to donate some of my nature photography and photograph the event to help them out.  If you would like to come, here is the invitation… 1920’s Cotton Club (the VIP ticket deadline has been extended until February 25th, but general admission tickets can be purchased at the door).  “The more, the merrier” as Jay says!

We’re moving!!!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Alison Willliams @ 5:42 pm

So, I have been waiting to officially spread the word for a couple of months now because we have been trying to sell our house in Fort Collins.  So, after putting it on the market for the second time, WE SOLD IT!!!!!!  It feels like a miracle in this market.

The best news though, is that we found the perfect house for us in quaint little Edgewater, CO (near Sloan’s Lake and the Highlands in Denver).  We are officially in LOVE!  Our 120 year old house is a modest 1,200 square feet with a need for lots of TLC.  Since we bought it about a month ago, the transformation has been awesome!  We started with foundation problems, so we’ve had our work cut out for us.  The amazing thing is that our contractor has been FABULOUS!!!!!  He is actually ahead of schedule and one of the nicest people to work with.  He has even gone above and beyond our contract and helps us our where he can.  His crew actually helped me bring a load of stuff from our truck into the garage just because they were being nice!  I feel like this whole process is something everyone involved in cares deeply about.  We’re all excited to see the final product!  I will be putting together a little slide show of where the house began to the finished product, so keep checking back!

Also, it is my absolute PLEASURE to recommend everyone we’ve worked with up to date because they all have been dedicated to getting the job done well, and have ALL been reasonably priced!

Website Down!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Alison Willliams @ 9:46 am

I don’t know why, but my website dissapeared last week.  I am working painstakingly with my domain registrar to figure out the problem, so hopefully we’ll be back up today.  Thank you to everyone that let me know and thanks for your patience!
