Let me start by saying that it has been "HOT" in Southern Cali the last week! I was just saying how it felt like we were in Fall because it was so cool at night and not that hot during the day. Well, (as always) you never know a good thing 'til it's gone. We have had weather in the upper 90s' to 100s'. The house felt like a sweatbox and to make matters worse, the fires have been out of control and the air sucks! I wanted to get the kids out of the house yesterday because they were driving me! I wanted to change my name and not tell them what it was! We ended up not going anywhere, except Target and then back home. They are always calmer after a trip to Target!
I have to say that the weekend was not a loss though. Along with keeping the kids in the house and busy until it was later in the day, I was able to get more done yesterday than I had all week! I made a few holiday cards, which I'll show you soon, but I stopped focusing on "Holiday" and just started working and made cards, card sets, tag sets, etc. I just really had a productive day and still had time to run around with the kids (they burned some energy, and I needed a nap after!) and go out in the garden later in the evening. The one thing I didn't do was take pics. If the light is right, I will have pics online by the end of the day.
Now on to a new week. There's always so much for me to do this time of the year with the holidays coming, craft fairs to participate in, kids back in school, fundraisers and parent meetings, custom orders, etc. I'm not complaining, I really do enjoy it all! I am just saying that I have this as my last week to get calendars (all over the house) organized and have a game plan to make things easier. Don't laugh, it hasn't worked for longer than a couple of weeks in the past, but it will work this year...it has to!!! ~ ; )
I have so many things I want to talk about, but they are still in the planning so I have to keep it hush hush until I know more! Stick around, I'll tell soon. I never could keep a secret!
The one thing I can say is that I am trying to put together some of my favorite shops to feature. I'm looking forward to it, hope you are too. Now you get to see the weird and funky kind of stuff I like!
Blessings

Christine, I know all about getting ready for school...and funny you should want to change your name, I think we all get like that some days. It's been hot here also, I can't wait for fall to come, and for school to start...well maybe not school, just means more work for me in terms of making sure my son gets his homework done! Cant wait to see your new designs.
Hey Dee, that has been the best thing about blogging, I would never have known how many other moms/dads go through the same things because you don't get a lot of sit down and vent time with the girls when you have a family to take care of!
Oh and I'm waiting for your Fall line as well!
Peace and Blessings through the madness!
You sure have a lot on your plate and still find time to let your creativity show through. A true Aquarian.
Yeah! Being an Aquarian is a blessing and a curse! Having so much creativity and drive and just wanting to do it all is tiring...but is what drives me.
There is so much freedom!
