It is currently our ‘very busy’ period in the AllYearbooks office; Nic and David’s workload has shot through the roof, there are over two hundred collage pages to create seemingly all the time, lots of deadlines for many of our customers’ yearbooks are coming up soon and monies are flying in like nobody’s business Normally [...]
