  3. Wendy, it's my pleasure! I'm a big fan and have been following your blog since we put in a bid to redo the sites for the Studio and your Blog over at Teamwork.

    Please keep up the fantastic work - it's so amazing to see this side of you and George and have more context around the work you're doing together :)
