i'm still alive! i swear. so much going on. the best thing is all the great conversations with my roommate, and my new roommate who just moved in. oh, and a surprise visit from ant today, and the promise of dinner tomorrow night...and a great call from green pants last night. oh geez, where is the time going? so much to do, ahhhh! i just finished a nice order of hannas and meris and checkbook holders that are going to a great store called rockstar & rogers in manhattan, kansas. big time, such cute stuff, with lots of two-tone and colorful stripes. yikes, i packed them up before i could even take a picture! and, please keep your fingers crossed that big exciting things are in the works. i'll keep hush-hush until anything is for sure, don't want to jinx anything. the next wholesale order is off to minnesota early next week, and then baltimore the week after, and in between i am going to vermont for a little r & r and camping and paddling. oh, and irony or ironies...in my art room at my new 'real job' (which i am loving in spite of the commute!) we have everything in the world, but there is no duct tape and i keep forgetting to bring some of my own. oh well! so much creativity, i get to spend my days and nights playing in a sandbox of creativity and color and paper and and thought and joy! yay! ok, it's so late already that my trip to urban outfitters and barnes and noble witll have to wait until tomorrow. yay for the glorious last trailing days of summer!
