This morning on my way into the LTLprints office I walked through a face numbing ice storm…or at least thats what it felt like. Fortunately the office setting at LTLprints was prime for thawing out my frozen limbs. If you could take a break from reading for a second and just imagine walking into a beautiful utopia, lined with large vibrant wall decor and warm crooning from the likes of Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, and of course country Entertainer of the Year-Kenny Chesney. I admit though: stickers sometimes make me feel accomplished and I’m not the biggest fan of country music but today instantly became out of the ordinary when I found myself tapping my foot to Brad Paisley’s  geetar licks in the comedic song ‘Ticks’. My time in this office has been short but I can definitely acknowledge that LTLprints has a way of broadening ones perspective. I mean just think about what they can do with a standard photo or print…who would have thought, right. I must add one other observation. This morning when Carsten decided to change things up just a bit and put on some Techno, it stopped snowing and the sun came out.

For Philadelphia sports fans, there aren’t many times when you’ll hear the above statement, but for right now, Philly is on cloud nine:) What a month it has been for this city! Philadelphia has cheered the Phils along to a World Series championship, the Eagles have won three straight, and our country has elected the FIRST african american president. October/November have been busy!

Wanted to share a few quick videos with you that have been passed along via email this week. First, a group of extremely talented students who express the importance of voting (if i ever have kids I’m sending them here!), and the second is a phenomenal catch by Ryan Howard during the Phillies parade (check out the video footage of that parade on our blog!

Possibly the coolest part of this month though has been the launch of www.LTLprints.com. It’s both exciting and a relief! It’s great to see the launch and all of the team’s long hours paying off - but it just means that things will get busier! I can’t wait to see our 6-color large format printing churning orders like crazy. Exciting!

Quite a picture above, eh? That awesome picture can be credited to the talented Mr. Matthew Gutberlet, a very close friend of mine and someone who is ridiculously good at everything he does - even photography! Matt grabbed that shot at the Phillies parade last Friday.

Before I sign off, just a reminder that the CMA Awards (COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS) are this Tuesday night. Everyone should definitely sit down to watch my boyfriend, the talented Kenny Chesney, in all his glory. I’d trade the World Series for him:)

So, before you read on, let me warn you. I have never written a blog post before, or added to one. I’ve only read them. So with this post, I am giving up my blogging virginity. You’ve been warned.

Let’s get started then. My name is Trish Noel and I recently began with LTLprints.com as the PR Specialist. I’m very excited about working with this team - two great entrepreneurs, joining together to provide a pretty cool new product. (Read Kendall’s post for more info about these customizable, no hassle prints). I live in Philadelphia (and have for about two years now). In my free time? Let’s see. I run, kind of a lot I guess, at least enough for my friends to hassle me about. Oh, and I spend a lot of my time at Helium Comedy Club too . . . it’s a great time if you’ve never been or if you like to laugh.

Now I’m not THAT old - but apparently back in the day when I was young . . . they didn’t teach you about blogging in college:) Where I went to school (Susquehanna University, -06) we used Facebook and Myspace - but apparently there is a whole new world of social networking that I’ve been missing. Twitter - Viddler - Yammer. WOW. I mean, my mom had never heard of Twitter either - but then again, she still screams into the cell phone like it’s a megaphone and writes her emails in all capital letters.

So, as I begin to utilize all these fun new tools to keep in touch - I’m asking for some help. What blogs do I look to first? I’ve got the computer - the cell - where do I go first? I’d love to start following some reporters in the tech industry - anyone have any suggestions? Which blogs are writing about the hot new products? Because trust me - LTLprints will be there soon. They’re addicting - you see how easy it is to take your print off the wall, and put it elsewhere - and you are hooked. I hate dealing with posters, poster putty, nails/screws (trust me - I’m not good with tools). My Kenny Chesney concert print (my prized possession picture that i took from his 2007 concert tour - and yes, I love country music) is proudly displayed in my room. And if I need him to - he’ll go anywhere with me, easily (now i just need that response from the real Kenny Chesney and I’ll be set:)

So here I am, a newbie on the blogging front. I admit, it was pretty painless. And slightly addicting - I’m excited to hear from others and keep blogging myself. So any helpful suggestions - please pass my way! You can find me at Trisha at ltlprints.com or follow me on Twitter (is that the catchy way to say it?) @TrishaLTL.

Til next time,

Trish
