The back and forth

 

Oh my, I just got accepted to a lovely holiday show.  The first week of December.  You do realize that is only 4 weeks away.  Grab onto your beads folks, we are now taking off into the pre-holiday jewelry making frenzy.  I can do it.  There have been years I've done big shows 2 weeks apart. And traveled to Michigan for Thanksgiving in between them.   So this year, will be a piece of cake.  (yes, that's me laughing hysterically.)

Our conference is next weekend.  Just name tags to make, Friday night dinner to reserve, stuff a few more folders and then Friday go and check out the campus to make sure everything is set up right.  Not too bad. I couldn't do it without our army of volunteers and a spectacular conference coordinator.  God bless volunteers!

Other things on my wish list of things to work on this month:

1. Weekly auctions

2. New beads for website and holiday boutique open for November and December. 

3. send beads to a magazine that has asked for samples

4. Take jewelry to the gallery for holiday sales.

5.  work on prints for a holiday cookie print exchange and take new prints to the gallery.

The thing is, I can do any kinds of crazy nonsense for a limited amount of time.  So working 60 hours a week is fine, as long as I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and a nice pile of cash to spend on Christmas presents and my trip to New York when all is said and done!!! 

Okay, I have beads to make, off I go...

Congrats on your new show! I know what you mean about working crazily--it's so much easier if you know it'll end soon. Good luck with all your preparations, don't forget to sleep every now and again!
