Meetings, Meetings and More Meetings

The changes at Commonwheel have inspired many meetings. Two groups of meetings. One for the web site and one for the Marketing Manager/Shop Coordinator position. Each one of these have met at least once a week. This is on top of my regularly scheduled meetings for the Commonwheel General and Board meetings. Then there is […]

Getting Caught Up In The New Year of 2015

Friday, January 2nd was the first tune-up day of the new year. My shoulders and neck really appreciated the mini-massage after all the time I spent cutting and leaning over the table laying out three Vision Boards the day before. And my Greek friend was there with a gift of some homemade sweet breads. And […]

Catching up and Catching my Breath

Some days just fly by, others whiz by, not drag by for me recently. I looked at my notes of what I did the last few days, and will only write up a few of them. With all the added expenses in my life, I again considered canceling my hair appointment last Friday, then decided […]

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 […]

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

I worked at the Commonwheel Artists Gallery all day. I prefer to do one long day a month rather than two half days. Although I got a lot of computer work done, very few people came into the Gallery, and no one bought anything!!! That is not a normal day for me. I easily engage […]

Struggled with Feeling Exhasted All Day Long

An Early Morning contributed to feeling exhausted today. I had a 9 am meeting for the Creative District application I am helping get prepared for submission on March 4, 1014. Unfortunate, I hadn’t gotten to bed before midnight, so that meant for the 3rd night in a row, I didn’t get 8 hours of sleep. […]

Mixed up Day of Client and Help with Commonwheel History

Started out with an email making me aware of what I hadn’t done properly. I wonder if I used up all my “on track” focus last year when I relocated the Commonwheel Art Festival in just 3 weeks due to flooding. I wanted to enter a contest for the Festival Poster and missed the deadline […]

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 […]
