Another Valentine Workshop

I held another workshop today. I called it Valentine Hodgepodge because I just put a bunch of materials out today to "create your own'! Everyone made such pretty cards. I didn't get to make any. I was working on cutting ribbon for my ribbon shares. Here are a few photos of the ladies hard at work. Thanks Mel for bringing Cindy and cookies!

Your Marker/Cardstock/Inkspot/Ink Clubs are ready to ship!

All the orders for the Marker/Cardstock Club, the Inkspot/Cardstock Club, and the Full Sized Ink Club came in last night. I am ready to take them to the Post Office.
You should receive them in two-three days! Enjoy!
Pleeeeze let me know when they arrive



I know this photos is upside down but I can't get it to turn correctly. I am surprised my head is not upside down after packing up 25 orders for Hostess Club and Marker Clubs and Ink Clubs in the past two days, not to mention preparing for a workshop!! Whew!!! Now I need to pack up 7 Card Kits and 15 ribbon shares to mail out on Monday.

Gone Fishing

Just kidding! I have been buried in taxes and my son has been very ill. I have not been able to keep up with my blogs this week. Stay tuned for later creative endeavors!

Monday- What a mess! I had paper layed out all over my huge table and island. I sorted them all in piles.

Tuesday- I sorted them into folders. Catching up but I have to go through and sort each file and calculate Income and Expenses.

Wednesday, totally stressed!! I did get all the folders calculated for Income and Expense
Thursday, getting it organized! Almost finished and feeling better. Taxes drive me nuts. They take me a solid week just to get ready for the accountant!!

Today is Oreo's B'day!
