Christmas in July

Week 8:

July 8 - July 12

It is mid-July here in NYC and the weather is hot hot hot! This weather definitely does not match what we have been getting in at Good Houskeeping. We are already working on the November issue and have been receiving shipments of coats and other cold weather clothing. We are now working on a coat story in addition to the belt story so we have been busy checking things in. We have also started to clean up the closet and send back things that should have been returned a long, long time ago. Some of this stuff we cannot find an owner so we get to put it in the giveaway box aka it's for the taking! We also continued to find credit for the celebrity spread and the teacher spread.

At Creative Communications, we are still hard working on the Infiniti event for this August. We have been in contact with various vendors for the premium items and for t-shirts and jackets. We are trying to get samples of the products so we can approve them but also figure out an exact delivery date for the items to be sent to Pebble Beach so we aren't in a panic when the event rolls around. We didn't have a photo shoot for the United Way on Wednesday, but we still worked hard on it, getting staff member's quotes, scheduling more shoots and rearranging the schedule. On Thursday and Friday we had more shoots and they were both a blast. I really enjoy meeting the all the different types of people that come to get their photo taken. Some of the most memorable was the assistant to Joanna Coles, a editor at Harper's, staff from Food Network Magazine, and Ann Shoket from Seventeen. On Friday I worked the shoot alone and was able to manage well. Our last day of shoots is this week and it makes me sad that such a big project we have been working on has come and gone so fast! I want to end this post by giving a big shout out to whomever brought Baked by Melissa Cupcakes to the office on Friday. This was a much needed Friday treat.
