Cottage, Commonwheel and Cookies Filled My Time

The Three C’ made my day interesting. Got to the Post Office and no one else was in line. Collected the over-sized mail for the Festival. Learned about what it would cost to ship a mask to the UK. The Postmistress was in a chatty mood, so she even looked up what was not legal […]

A Webinar Filled Week and Challenges Continued

It is days later, not the next day that I have a bit of time to write. Thursday night, I had thought I would go to a Deja Vu Singles gathering after my third Tony Laidig webinar. But that was not to happen. What do they say, “Best Laid Plans . . .” His webinar […]

The Day After Manitou Springs Carnivale Parade

Manitou Springs Carnivale was the second coldest. After a 50 degree sunny day on Friday, we awoke to snow, fog and very cold weather for Carnivale. But that didn’t keep the fans from lining up for the Gumbo Cook Off Tastings. And many fun people showed up to be in the parade. Too much preparation […]

The Day Before Manitou Springs Carnivale 2014

I am not as on track in my world as I usually am. I thought I was arriving for a meeting early, and I was actually late. Not sure how I twisted the time from 10 am to 10:30 after looking at the calendar last night. Luckily the ladies are very forgiving. I regaled them […]

Productive Day on the Computer But No Sales Day

FantaFaces Detoured Me from Tax Prep

I had planned on getting a good start on my Taxes today. Instead, I took photos of the masks and earrings and some feather pendants I would take to Commonwheel Gallery and put on Etsy. It always takes me longer to get everything done for selling the items than I think it will. And it […]

A Very Carnivale Day in FantaFaces Studio

I spent all day in my FantaFaces Studio in preparation for Carnivale in Manitou Springs. Oh, I was tempted when the weather was predicted to be the warmest day to go for a Hike. But I resisted that temptation and got into my FantaFaces studio. At first I was a bit distracted by doing some […]

Waxy Ear Turns into Earache and Distraction

I am not a good “sick” person or patient. Or maybe I am, as I still got quite a lot accomplished today,  just not what I planned. And am wearing down now . . . When I went to do a hearing test last week, one of my ears was judged to have too much […]
