New Cards

I fixed the sidebar so now the notify list sign-up is not mixed in with the previous posts. (Thanks for pointing that out, Sunshyn.)

I also fixed the archives links. (Thanks for pointing out to me the fact that they were broken, Ann and Maria.) I honestly didn't think I'd be able to do it, but after 40 or 50 tries I seem to have got the settings right. Next I'll figure out how to link to my old non-blogger.com journal entries. (Thanks for your help with that, Ann Marie.)

See? It really does take a village to keep this blog ship-shape!

My new order of plastic sleeves and plastic boxes arrived yesterday - and look at these cool new ribbons I ordered to go around the boxes. It's actually elastic copper cord - and it comes in other colors too. I like them a lot.

This is a new graduation card for an order for a friend. Notice the school colors and (school mascot) cougar paw prints?

This is another new card - for my friend's husband to give to their graduating daughter.

Isn't that bead amazing? It's a polished stone I think. I have no idea where I got it - just one of many little things I have stashed away because you just never know what you'll need, do you?

Canal Days began tonight - I just heard the end-of-the-evening fireworks. Tomorrow I'll meet MJ (glass painter extraordinaire) at 8:30 at her booth so she can show me a few things. I'll be working in her booth all day with her husband while she works at Celebration Gifts. The other two times I've worked shows with MJ, I run the cash register and she wraps the glass. It works out perfectly for both of us since I like running the register and it gives her a good chance to schmooz with the customers. She told me her husband likes to run the register so tomorrow I'll be the wrapper schmoozer. It's going to be a long day but I know I won't be as tired as I was after last year's Canal Days when I was with Village Gifts (now Celebration Gifts). There was set-up and clean-up with being on my feet all damn day in between. I remember being literally tired to the bone. (Wish we'd had the hot tub then - it certainly cures all ills!) Tomorrow will be cake compared to last year. Plus there's always Kettle Korn and cheesecake-on-a-stick to keep me going. I'll take my camera, of course.
