A Tune Up, New Punch & Bling

.

I knew Alyson Stanfield would find me after I posted about her the other day, as any good stat checker would.

Here's part of the comment she left:

For your mailing list, I think it's important to tell people that they're signing up for your mailing list. Tell them what they'll get and how often. Otherwise, people are reluctant to share their info for fear of being bombarded with stuff they don't want.

Excellent advice, I thought. Even though 'everyone does it' and I'm sure it would be obvious to most people what I was up to, truthfully, I was feeling a bit deceptive in my attempt to gather names for my mailing list. So I redesigned my free drawing slip, thusly:

Thank you Alyson - I'm feeling much better about it now.

Steve has been working really crazy hours this week. In fact his department has mandatory 50 hour work weeks right now, but he routinely puts in 50+ hours so I don't even want to think about how many he's worked the last couple of weeks alone.

In the perfect timing department, his friend invited him to go to a Buffalo Sabres hockey game last night. I told him under no circumstances was he to not go - he needs some down time to blow off some steam. And I swear, this was just a bonus, I had no ulterior motives - I was very productive in my Stefani Time last night.

I bought a new punch this week which works perfectly as a centerpiece to my Sticky Notes.

Here's one all blinged out with Swarovski crystals. I swear I do make them in colors other than turquoise but these seem to be the ones that leap into the scanner. It's not my fault.

So I have a full production weekend in store - no outside commitments, don't even plan to leave the house. Steve was planning to go into work today but I convinced him to do as much of the work as he can from home. So at least I'll get to enjoy the back of his head today. We had discussed cleaning the winter ick out of the garage, but I really wanted to do it after this next show. And now it's supposed to rain all weekend, so lawn mowing has become much less of a priority - so I guess it will be an inside productive weekend for us both.
