Hopewell Furnace Pulleys Copyright Margot Potter 2006To the person who emailed me about my How To Write and Publish a Craft Book Series...please email me again! You got sent to spam and just as I hit delete I realized you weren't spam! So sorry! Hope you see this message!
The trip to Denver wasn't in my original plans for this summer, we had dates earlier that had to be rescheduled due to issues with the insurance company...so to say I'm feeling the crunch this weekend would be a serious understatement! I am buried!
Here's my 'to do' list:
1. Create and pack 30 step out projects for book photo shoot. Must be done before I leave on Monday.
2. Create a final book variation design, pack and ship out book projects.
3. Create a project with instructions and set teen craft blog post to drip on Wednesday for ILoveToCreate.
4. Plan outfits and pack for CHA (that may mean a new accessory or two...but only if I can find a spare moment!)
5. Plan and sketch a concept for a design for a major craft industry client that is slated for a big PR campaign. I'm already behind on the deadlines because I was away for nine days.
6. Write and set blogs to drip for Wednesday and Thursday. I'll also have Tuesday post, so stay tuned!
7. Finish and fold laundry.
8. Pour myself a glass of wine and exhale.
There were vague hopes of packing and shipping out the variation projects and complimentary books to my contributors for Bead Chic before I left...and those have been dashed on the rocks. I'm hopeful they can wait until I get back home! I really need more hands.
This all leads me to wonder why it must ALWAYS be such a ridiculous convergence of deadlines around here. It's feast or it's snack...there is luckily very little famine around here. If I could just borrow some minutes from the slower weeks on days like today. Maybe I need to speak to the Universe about a roll over minute plan.
Hmmm...
Here's what the craftabulous Crafty Blogger Gang have for your perusal today. "We've got glue guns, and we're not afraid to use them." (tm)
