i’ve got alot on my plate today.  i’m in serious production mode for crafty bastards coming up in just a little over a week.  aside from making pieces for crafty bastards i hope to accomplish the following before the show date:

1.  send out a newsletter using a program i just enrolled in called constant contact.  it’s a little harder to use than i thought it would be.  i think once i roll out the first one, i will get the hang of how to compose newsletters.

2.  get stickers printed.  i’m going to retire the postcard swag and introduce stickers this season.  i’m also thinking about bookmarks . . .

gosh, i’m so happy that lizzy is coming in tomorrow to help me!

i couldn’t concentrate at all yesterday because of the excitement of BOB, so i thought i’d make myself a piece of jewelry to commemorate the special day.  here is a progress shot:

oh! and one last thing before i get back to work- i saw this at the market this morning and my curiosity got the best of me- chocolatemint water.  it’s tasty, refreshing, all natural and calorie-free- what a treat!
