Queen Bee Market with a side of random

The Queen Bee Market

came and went.

It came and went without one single itty bitty

picture taken on my part.

seriously?!?

On Friday night I forgot my camera. Oh well.

On Saturday I remembered my camera

and forgot my memory card.

shoot.

But I did remember my 2 small children

bottles, diapers & all,

{with the help of the best mom ever}

and fall in love with Mindy
Does everyone already love her?
Love, love, love her new Christmas CD.

Today:

I took Joshy to school.
He was completely entertained by first graders. The whole time.

I'm madly finishing a bunch a Christmas pieces with scripture
for my house and for the big shop sale on black Friday.

Watching Parenthood. Best show on television.
I think they might have a hidden camera in our house.
Anyone wanna come over?

Wanna laugh until you cry?
Here are some of my new favorite blogs:
she introduced me to her as she talked me down
from the mommy's going crazy ledge
who introduced me to her
which led me here
and I always love her

and oh *&^%&*#.
really?
nap time canNOT be over already.
i think I might cry.
and put on another pot of coffee at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Monday: Queen Bee Market is coming...

Next Saturday is the big day.

The Queen Bee Market will be here,

at the Bay Front Hilton, on San Diego Bay 

9am-6pm

There are so amazing displays of handmade goodness.

Come by and shop and say hi. It is always a good time. 

I'm picking up new prints today (whoop, whoop!),

 I'll share them with you & and start a sale tomorrow.
I'm closing in on 500 sales this month!

This week's art time will be spent
finishing more prints & getting ready for the Queen Bee Market

The list:

*Pick up a boat load of prints from the printer. (Yahoo!)

*Spend a moment, no matter how small, with Jesus.

*Be present, engage with Jack today. Spend good time interacting with him.

*Move. Take a walk around the lake. around the block. to the mailbox! success.

*Clean up. Yes, Julie, having a second brings entirely new meaning to the words "messy house".

*Don't check email until nap time. This is really hard for me.

Tonight:

Watch the bachelor finale.
List new prints in shop (ugh.)

Finish Josh's birth announcement.

Finish Josh's thank you cards & actually SEND THEM!

Tuesday: Playing in the studio, Queen Bee, and Orphan News

Today's randomness...

I've been playing in the studio

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here.

Mostly playing with texture & color.

I'm having fun, can you tell?

****************************************************************

I'm getting ready for the Queen Bee Market

***next weekend***

I ordered my new business cards too late,

so I'm making my own...

business cards

bio cards

pricing &

vendor labels...

I need to spend some quality time at Kinko's.

I picked a bunch of prints & cards up from the printer yesterday.

It's like Christmas when I do.

I love to see how they turn out.

 Now I just need to package & label them.

And finish my shelving,

but that's for tomorrow night.

If you live in the San Diego area, I'd love to meet you at the market,

next Friday & Saturday, May 7&8.
