dropped off for a bit

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but he cracks me up so I though you all would get a kick out it, at least my dad will. Hi Dad! Yup he TOTALLY reads my blog, I think it's the cutest.
Sorry bout that...My eyes have been glued to the computer screen for several reasons,among them,looking for houses . BTW- Thanks for all the well wishes about the house hunting. I only have one thing to say about the house we saw last weekend...squatters, nough said. EWW. Onward and upward.
I should be packing as I'm going down to NY for the stationary show, no, no, not showing just walking the floor, meeting with some clients. Hoping to present at Surtex again next year. I'm also hoping to go to the Brooklyn flea market, as I will be staying in Williamsburg with a friend.
I also rearranged my studio for like, the umpteenth time. I am was so disorganized and overwhelmed. I have a big space to work in but it was not working for me and I was totally stressed out. When I get like that I totally shut down and CAN'T work. I finally dragged myself in there, it took me 3 days but it's done. It was a huge purge (3 GIANT trash bags full) and massive organization process but SO needed to be done. I feel better already. I now have designated areas for every aspect of my "business", i know what's with the quotation marks. It's just feels weird calling it that. But I do pay taxes so I should be ok with it by now. ANYWHO... there's an area for packing and shipping, printing, computer work, sewing, painting, supplies and even an inspiration corner! I even organized all my papers and "things" for my mixed media collage work. I had no idea I hoarded so many paint chips, I'm a freak.
Eek, it's wonderful though. When I get back next week I will be starting on all the work I have been meaning to do ALL month. Next project is tackling a book keeping/e-mail system that works!
Happy weekend to you all!
OH YEAH- I totally forgot to tell you all that I'm part of the designer series for PINGG a new and really great online greeting card site! Check it out yo.
Yes, I do indeed read your blog. It's where I find out all your dreams and secrets.
Love you guys.
