Welcome!

I've finally decided that I am a writer - all the other things I do just pay the bills. Someone eloquent once said that if you do what you love, the money will follow. Well, let's just see about that.

RIP Aggie
Aggie was my fifteen-year-old cairn terrier - or maybe I should say I was her 55-year-old person! She was my faithful companion, spoiled rotten and I am still trying to figure out what to do without her.

Bee is Peter's buddy. He's eight years old and has made himself right at home. I guess cats really do come in pairs or sets of three!

And Jasper makes three!

Jasper is our new guy - the Cat From Another Place. He's four years old and we think he likes it here - so far, so good!

An amazingly productive day...

For getting a late start, I have had an amazingly productive day so far...  I say, so far, because I have to stop at the store on the way home - and I hate battling the crowd.  I'm just as guilty of waiting until the last minute to get my Thanksgiving stuff, but...  It was raining this morning and I didn't want to get drenched going out to the car, so I putzed around at home for a while.  I toyed with the idea of staying home, but I trudged off to the office, rain or no rain, and I actually got a lot of work done.  And I finally came up with a design I like for my Christmas cards!  I think I kept procrastinating because I didn't really like the stamps I had chosen.  I'd never used them before - so I knew they wouldn't be a repeat - but I just didn't like the whole design.  So, when I was rummaging through my other Christmas stamps, I found one that I haven't used in years - and never for client cards - so I came up with a simple design and I liked it!  I ordered my red card stock today and it will be here on Monday - so this weekend I can work on the embossing part of the card and all of the paper cutting I need to do.  I also found this great (cheap!) source for envelopes online.  Maybe when I have some extra money I'll order some of the cool translucent envelopes.  I sometimes mail my cards in clear envelopes, but the postman looks at me like I'm nuts.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving!
    Later I need to look at the envelope vendor link. I need to order some envelopes for my office. Hope your day is going great.

    Yoli :)
