our year in review...

2010 has been a fantastic year for us! We started it off with a foray toward establishing our online identity, and are finishing it off with anticipating the official launch of our company website.

Over the last twelve months, we…

This year has not been without its personal excitements, too. Good friends, travel, a wedding, and the occasional sauna were just some of the features of 2010. From the Winter Olympics to the Vancouver International Film Festival, there were lots of sites to see and things to do. We can't say this year was free of struggles and challenges, but were are making it a priority to learn from it all - good and bad - to make 2011 even better.

We hope 2010 was a banner year for you and that you have a million times the success in the coming 12 months. Wishing you a truly Happy New Year from the Dome Team!

All the best!

baby steps...

Proudly hit 100 followers on Twitter today. If all goes well, we'll look back on this blog post a year from now and say to ourselves "We thought THAT was exciting? Little did we know where we'd be today..."


Am I putting too much pressure on us? Nah. Even if we're just at 101 this time next year, it's all moving in the right direction.

Here's to celebrating the little milestones.

Oh, and did I mention our website is online?

Baby steps...

Take care,
