Thank you for 2013

I was gearing up for a big end-of-the-year post where I would talk about all that has happened this year and thank all the people who came into my life and brought me over the last 365 days.

Then I thought about everything that has happened in the last year and realized that there was no effin’ way I was going to be able to construct a post that captured it all, thanked all the people individually and said everything I wanted to say and finish it before June. That being the case I’ve opted to go the visual route – this is what 2013 looked like for the Redhead Bedhead.

Thank you to all of you who taught me, befriended me, read my work, hired me, helped me move, gave me a place to crash, showed me your shop, interviewed me, were interviewed by me, collaborated with me, sponsored me, hired me, encouraged me, motivated me, challenged me, supported me, drank with me, listened to me and made out with me…

I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff- It’s been a hell of a year. I love you all so, so much. Thank you.

Bring on 2014.

xoxo RHBH
