My mom is an interior designer and I think I've learned from her in my 39 years but still MIL refuses to take any advice from me.<BR/>The Gingerbread men are up on the website and blog. Hope they make you smile, I'm quite happy with them.<BR/>Take a night off, put your feet up and drink some of that home made wine!!!adozeneggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660232126960456569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-10729941883218564392008-12-03T16:43:00.000-08:002008-12-03T16:43:00.000-08:00Yay, I finally won an award!

The moon so close to two plantets right now is unusual, they say. <BR/><BR/>I have many women clients--creative and passionate about life as you are...and the past several days, many are quick to come to tears (around crafting supplies???), have short fuses, and seem so overwhelmed. Something's in the air, I think. And I believe it will pass. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps a deep breath, warm cup of something to drink, stop and carefully listen to a favorite holiday tune, and let your eyes go out of focus while you gaze at some holiday lights...or let whatever's in the warm something to drink do the focus losing for you. :-) Take care.

I hate the school stuff (PTA), because it is overwhelming, and generally understaffed. We have a spring carnival that is horrible. <BR/><BR/>I thank you for the award, and I will shamelessly take it despite the fact that under normal circumstances I may have not been picked. :)<BR/><BR/>Wish I lived near you.

And no one offered to help me - that was the real kicker. Try to make a list as to what needs to get done, and cross off one by one at YOUR SPEED. This sounds like it doesn't have to be a rush rush job.<BR/>Take Care my friend.Purple Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831681595310623140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-8490969379965769082008-12-02T12:15:00.000-08:002008-12-02T12:15:00.000-08:00Wowza, lady.

That's why I won't do web design for family members - same problem - they don't know what they want and they're a pain in the ass about it to boot.<BR/><BR/>But you're a good chica, and if I get my act together (that's always a big if) then you should be getting something in the mail in a few weeks even though I don't do xmas - I most definitely do WINTER :)<BR/><BR/>Chin up and pump me for easy recipe ideas on the auction thingy!!

Is there anyway you can call in reinforcements? My parents are remodeling right now and one of my co-workers who is in school for interior design is giving them advice on the cheap in exchange for being able to use us in her portfolio.KathleenKMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683060745233543795noreply@blogger.com
