Fixed it!

Okay.
I fixed the darn banner.
I can rest peacefully now.

Drat!

Oh drat! I tried to spruce up my new blog a bit, and somehow ended up jacking with the font in my logo! It's condensed. What the heck? Anyway, I'm too tired of messing with it today. Bad Photoshop! No no! The color makes me happy though. (The background is my favorite color by the way. What do you call it? Tiffany Blue? Robin's Egg Blue?)

My husband is home today for Veteran's Day, so it's a bit more rambunctious around the house than usual. He and the little guy love to wrestle around on the floor. (What little boy doesn't?!) I've learned to control my urge to holler, 'What was that?' whenever I hear a thump that is a little too loud for comfort. It's all good. I'm hiding in my little hole (read: the office) working on orders and playing in Photoshop, and reading the forums on Etsy a bit more than I should be right now.

It's drizzling here, and I have a latte snuggled up to me. The little man is getting ready to take a nap, and I have a new Us Weekly magazine calling my name... Life is good.

Can we say whirlwind?

Wow! There is so much going on at the Paperologie studio! (Well, on the computer in our family office and in the middle of a pile of cardstock on the living room floor, that is...) I got up at 2AM this morning to work on orders. Coffee is most definitely my friend today, due to the fact that somehow I have to put on my Wonderwoman costume and send out 27 packages today! Sheesh. Is that even possible?? I suppose it is, with Veteran's Day being tomorrow and all. As long as I have them all at the post office on Tuesday by 5:15pm, I'm golden.

So, I also started Etsy Paper, a Street Team for artists who use paper, sell paper, and love paper. :) It's off to a great start! There are sooo many talented individuals on Etsy. I'm just so thrilled to be getting to know them!

As for news around the Paperologie house, we made icecream sundaes and watched Thomas the Tank Engine the other night. Fun, fun!

Anyway, my son is calling for oatmeal.

Must jet.

I have a DATE!!

A date with cardstock, new designs, and my computer, that is...

My hubby is out of town on business, so this weekend I'm fulfilling all of the orders I received when I was out of town last week. Busy, busy!! Anyway, I'm so excited about these new little calendars. I'm excited about a lot of things. Paperologie has so many wonderful things in store for it! I haven't received my Moo cards in the mail yet, but when I do, I'll post 'em.

Let's see... On the agenda for today? The market. Getting orders out. Working on my new street team, Etsy Paper... Good times!

Speaking of the market, I reached a MOM MILESTONE. For years, I told myself I wouldn't buy one of those industrial size packages of toilet paper. You know- the ones with, like, twenty in plastic at a time? I refused. I know. It's dumb. Purchasing one of those would have made me feel like such a MOM. A housewife. A homemaker. I know that's what I am, but I would have rather gone to the market every three days to pick up the cute little four pack, than hoist the industrial sized one down from the shelf. Well, yesterday, I finally broke down. A twelve pack. Sticking up two stories from my cart. I'm a housewife everyone. A busy one. One who has a beautiful little family and a rockin' paper goods business.

It's all good.

Moo Cards

I'm so excited- I finally ordered some Moo Cards. I'll let you know how they turn out when I receive them! Above are a few of the images I chose for my card designs. I totally plan on sticking them into library books, bookstore shelves and bills that I pay! Indie marketing techniques totally rock, I tell you!

I have some seriously fab tickets to the Razorback game today but I really, really need to stay home work on new designs and existing orders. Maybe my hubby (Mr. Paperologie, we'll call him.) will take one of his pals instead?

Have a creative day everyone! My coffee is finished brewing and is calling my name!

Brand new label designs!

These are now in at Paperologie! Check 'em out!

Have a happy and creative day!
