Rambling Friday Thoughts and Pie

I'm running really late today, so just a few thoughts.

I started with a concept and now I'm starting to see the reality. I love creating
my annual cards!

I'm very happy with my Solstice cards, they're coming together extremely well, just falling into place. I printed the interiors out this morning so I can get started on that part of the project in my early mornings. I'm starting to get excited about them, and be warned, I'll do my first call-out for addresses soon.

I actually love to edit, but sometimes carving out the time to do work
other than my own can be difficult. 

I finally got the chance to get a bit of beta work done yesterday. Very necessary since I was running over a week behind schedule for her work. My bad! But I pushed through an entire chapter last night and sent it onward. I'll get it back for a final look-over and then it will be on to Chapter 3.

Sheesh! Korina. Deal with it, put on your big girl panties and just DEAL! 

Project Runway wasn't really any surprise, and Korina's horrific attitude made for good TV. Unfortunately for her, her entire melt-down and rude responses were televised. That probably won't serve her really well in the future. What employer would want to hire someone with such a poisonous attitude?

Hoppers are coming through the door in increasing numbers. We only have
five more days for them to visit my store. 

The Bead Shops Hop is keeping us very busy. It's getting down to the last few days (Wednesday is the final day) and I sent an email to my customers on Tuesday to remind them about the Hop. We've been getting a lot of new people as well as customers we've known and loved for years, and (thank goodness) they're also spending money, not just collecting their charm and store sticker. I'm starting to see game cards which are almost completed now, so people have been busy Hopping.

He wasn't happy with how they turned out, but I thought they were quite tasty. 

It's Friday. That should be worth a celebration just on its own. So ... celebrate! Maybe a piece of cake or pie? I think I'll grab one of the white chocolate macadamia nut and dried cranberry cookies that DH baked yesterday. A cookie should make a nice addition to my breakfast...

Maybe I'll treat myself to a piece of pie. This is a piece of apple raspberry
pie with a crust of almond streusel. It looks so good!  

Happy Friday to all!
