New Punches!
.
This is to show that I do actually work in colors that aren't blue, purple or turquoise sometimes.
My new punches from Scrappily Ever After arrived yesterday. I am in love with scalloped circles now - I have 2 sizes. This smaller one is fraught with possibilities as paper jewelry pins. I'm trying to get into holiday mode with the angel - and my massage therapist requested snowman pins this year so I'm going to be working on that too. I need to figure out how to incorporate stitching into each design, since that's my "signature". Then again, not every single thing needs to be stitched, I guess - I should let the paper tell me what to do. (That's how we artists talk, you know.)

On the day job front - I'm happy to report that I think the end of the sales tax audit is in sight. I've spent the last 3 work days finishing up some follow-up work for the auditor's visit yesterday. He's a nice guy with a sense of humor, just doing his job so that part has been okay. He'll come back one more time at the end of the month to finish up. I think my part is done though. Hallelujah! It's not like the audit is a scary bad thing, it's just that the work is damn tedious and boring.
And check this out. The report he sent us to work on for the follow-up was a printed report, 11 pages long, single spaced, no lines. When he was here before he told me he couldn't email me files because of security issues but he'd mail it to me on a disk. (Like the US Mail is so much more secure than government firewalls??) Instead he mailed us this paper report. That's the number one thing that drove me crazy - not being able to sort and color code the spreadsheet. I spent hours and hours flipping pages, looking for this or that, using different color highlighters. How old school is that?? (I tried various methods to scan these pages into Excel, unsuccessfully. I'm open to suggestions, for any future situations.)
Anyway. Today looks to be a normal day where I get to do the work I enjoy and catch up on other stuff. And tomorrow is Friday, so there's that.

Those new punches are so cute. It will be fun to see what you come up with.
You are the coolest person that I have never met! You ROCK!!!
Thank you SOOOOOO Much!!!!!
Audits, whether friendly or not are a pain in the tochus for sure. Hope yours becomes over with no complications.
Lost contact with you when my Outlook Express failed. I did put myself on your notify list with my new hotmail addy.
Just happened to spot your comment on Stephanie's entry.
