Home Improvement
By bella | January 14, 2006
So, in the middle of getting ready for the BIG BRIDAL SHOW (aaaghh!), I am also helping hubby with some home improvement projects at his folks’ house. Today, I painted a hallway, and watched hubby work on a wall in the kitchen. I say “watched”, cause that’s about all I could do. It would have been too difficult for us to try and work on it together, so I did what I could and then cheered him on. He’s still working on it right now. (Well, hopefully he is still working – I left and came home, so he COULD be just hanging out with his dad instead of working. I’m not there to crack the ole’ whip!)
Yes, home improvement projects, and only TWO weeks left before my show. Did I mention that yet? TWO weeks! Ok.. deep breathing….in…out….whoooooooooo.
I managed to finish my flyer for the show last night. I have a few minor edits that I found this morning, but other than that, it’s READY to print. Estimates are that there will be around 1200 to 1500 brides at the show, so I’m planning to print 1000 flyers. Too many? I guess we’ll find out! I also need to get cracking on printing all the gum wrappers for the samples we’ll be handing out. I’m doing 800 of those. 800 sticks of gum. Yea, that’s gonna take a little while. Good thing my Mama is here to help out! And I have decided, sort of last minute, to go ahead and add Hershey(r) kiss labels and Peanut Butter Cup labels to the list of products I’m making. So, had to order the round labels, and start working on some samples. I think we’ll be giving those away as well, but doing 800 of those should be a piece of cake compared to the gum sticks.
Why am I writing all this in my blog? I have no idea, except I really want to update the blog more often, and this is pretty much ALL I think about right now. Well, this… and scrapbookin! But, I’m trying to refrain from working on layouts as much as possible. Yea… that’s going REALLY well. See…..
Journaling reads: “Samuel with his favorite toy – macrame cord!”
Papers and stamp from “Weekender” kit by Jan Crowley
Background papers (including header text filler) from “Wonderland” kit by Jan Crowley; Bow from “Zoey” kit by Clara Wallace of Matter Of Scrap
Yep, not doing layouts… none at all!
Now, I’m off to actually WORK on WORK, and try not to hyperventilate.
Oh yea, and to rest… cause there’s plenty of painting yet to do at the folks’ house.
