Blog Her

I am just back from putting my daughter on the plane for San Francisco to attend Blog Her.  Evidently anyone who is anyone is at this conference.  I think that applies to those of us under 35.  I unfortunately am not, however, I am young enough to be excited about it and learn all the fun new things that Rhiannon (my daughter) will bring back to me.  Anyone who wants to learn, keep posted. 

As some of you know, I’ve been under the weather and now, I think I’m on the mend.  I was out all day shopping, which for me is unusual.  I love shopping, but on the internet.  Today called for actually going to many different stores.  I will say, if there is a Linens and Things in your area, you must go this week, the sale is crazy.  I cannot believe how much I saved today and they even take competitors coupons!  What could be better?

I am finally uploading two pictures of my studio before anything is done.  The reason I want to share is less than 6 months ago my studio was set perfectly and there was a place for everything.  Since then I’ve added things like, Xyrons, Cricut, professional hand paper cutter, and on and on.  I counted over 30 additions–no wonder I have to stop and re-do.  I have some health challenges in general so it will take me longer than normal.  My fabric along has taken a week to sort, fold and file.  Yes, file.  I think that’s called OCD but who cares.  I love organization.  The only problem is that it’s taking me longer to begin selling on Etsy.  If anyone has viewed my Flickr and has seen the cards let me know what you think.  I’m thinking of selling them in groups of different types of cards in a fancy box for a nominal fee.  Almost all of the cards are 3-D and it seems that’s different from what I’ve seen for sale.  The cards for sale are lovely, but are mine as worthy?  Really, I’d love to hear from you.

Well, now to the EHarmony story.  I had to tell my nice friend that I met that I couldn’t see him any longer because even before I met his daughter on July fourth he informed me that he was involved in several law suits because so many had done him wrong.  Exit, stage left.  Need I say more?  That scared me.  My month is up and I’ve declined to continue.  I have been communicating with a gentleman who lives very close to me and again, he seems nice, however, I am going to take it very easy and go very slowly.  Luckily with the first man, nothing happened just a few candlelit dinners and nothing physical.  Wew!  I’ll be careful and be slow to judge this time around if I even meet with him.  I think I am just too old and have lived alone too long to deal with a man.  Besides, my two tiny toy poodles need mommy to themselves, LOL.

Rhiannon comes back Monday from Blog Her, will have a report then, but perhaps I’ll write Sunday as I attend my 34th class reunion on Saturday.  The fun thing is it is an all class reunion which means my brother, sister and my mother will be attending.  Get this my mother had not finished highschool so when I attended the first and second grades, she attended her junior and senior years.  She went full time and she was the most popular student there.  The community I live in was very small at the time so we were actually within steps of each other and that gave me great comfort as a first and second grader!  More Later!
