Every once in a while an image comes through our "doors" that makes us smile. During the holiday season we receive tons of cards spanning the range of emotions from cute to heart-warming to hilarious.

This card from Bill and Mandi of Biandi Photography and Art made such an impression that we had to share it with all of you!



Did I mention that Bill won best first-time entrant, best wedding image, and best of show at Triangle's print competition recently? Oh...and Mandi was asked to display her artwork in a gallery show coming up! Our hats go off to a great couple and great photographers! Check out their website here: http://www.biandiarts.com
