Heaven in Hell

September 29, 2010

I happened to visit my Facebook Page (yes, I do that occasionally) and I happened to read about Amber’s French houseguest and her quest for exotic Anne Taintor sightings.

First, I would like to thank Amber (thank you! thank you!) for managing my page (since I am so obviously social-media-incompetent). Then I would like to ask – am I too late to submit my own most exotic sighting?

Top Secret

September 17, 2010

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and requests!

I’m very sorry, Sherry, but the book is still marked “top secret”… mainly because the publisher hasn’t even said yes yet. Fingers crossed. I’m not sure I have it in me to self-publish.

And James, I am so technologically retarded I don’t even know what you’re talking about! But I’ll ask someone who is less of a dinosaur than I and see what we can do.

Briar, dear, nothing idiotic happens at my workplace. I am the boss, remember? So every meeting I call is meaningful and invigorating! (Right, team?) Plus… I work alone in my studio in the high desert while my team has most of their meetings half-way across the country. Okay… on a more serious note, I did design this sticky note:

"Working for an Idiot" sticky note

to celebrate the joys of being self-employed.

August’s caption contest winners

September 1, 2010

I suck at multi-tasking. Which is unfortunate because my job pretty much IS multi-tasking. In the last two days I completed the final designs for my (exciting) January line and began work on my (at least as, if not more exciting) May line. I placed the final purchase orders for new designs for January. I reviewed inventory and placed last minute orders for product we need for this year. I worked on sales projections for our 2012 budget. I started writing copy for our January catalog. And I began work on a new book (!!!). Really, I love my job! This is just my roundabout way of saying: I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I know it has been forever since I posted.

Thank goodness caption-contest-winner-day rolled around to get me back in gear.
