Hiatus

Just a quick little note: We are officially on hiatus for a bit, as Mindy has just welcomed a brand new little one into her family. When she's up to camera-slinging again, we'll be back to posting!
Thanks friends!

A Beginning

Hi there! Welcome to Two For Joy. This is a project created by sisters (in law) to help us keep our cameras in our hands and our creativity jumping.
For now, we will be posting a set of images each week that are related to a single theme - two ways of expressing one idea.
From here, who knows what will develop? We're just two girls, seeking out the joy in our everyday lives.
