summary....

HI everyone- just a summary of what is and has been going on -cousin's wedding next weekend- yeah for Allison! -NY stationery show preparations- so many ideas I just am taking so much more than I was planning- giving myself more work! -my mom had her cancer move to her hip (from breast cancer 13 years ago)- so any well wishes/prayers/loving thoughts that can be sent her way is greatly appreciated! -with my mom in pain it means Eli (best friend) is (hopefully) going to the NY show to help me for a couple of days...thank you, EL!! -oh yeah, then my wonderful rep in CA needed any new holiday cards because she had some accounts requesting holiday (holiday!) ordering- so of course I came up with a bunch of winter/xmas cards in a matter of days. -now six hundred dollars of wholesale orders supposed to go out on tuesday and I have barely started them.... WHEW!!!! Here are a couple of pics of new cards and my booth- I set up the whole thing in my studio so I will be somewhat organized! Is anyone out there going to be at the show? Wanna meet up? email me! back to work----take care everyone!! xox

Studio and a Secret

Since you asked (Eliana)... Here is a picture of a little part of my studio. I love it and it's huge and it's warm and heated with radiant heat. I feel so lucky. (thanks, Rick!!!) And the coasters, well they're for Eliana too. I can't keep a secret. Since I only sent you ONE coaster (I know it's strange) I made you four more, they don't really match the other one -a snowcouple-but I think you will like them. They are my designs silkscreened on felt, with little felt pieces sewn on for accent. Now if I get them sent that will be the real surprise. I'm not one in that group of (seemingly) organised bloggers who have all their packages wrapped, cards sent and cookies baked on time- For me Christmas ends when the last gift has been given, so sometimes it can last into July-heck or even all the way until the following Christmas!
