Grumpy in California

I haven't blogged for a couple days because I kind of feel like if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say it at all. I have had a rough couple days. I am sick and feel so lethargic from all the coughing. I don't usually whine about being sick because I think overall I am pretty tough when it comes to that stuff. I guess its the pile of stuff...illness, added to rain, work things (shipping) and the stress of a deadline along with disappointment in people who fail to follow through on commitments. I realize that life happens, but honestly, how long does it take to dash off an email or pick up the phone to say that you will be late sending your swaps, book pages, articles or whatever? I don't buy it. I am a busy Mom and I still follow through on what I commit to do.
Ok, I am done ranting. What I have been doing besides being sick.. working my tail off on Eye Candy. Tonight is the night I am putting it to bed. I just finished up the last of the article layouts, a fun tutorial from Alma Stoller and now I am working on the cover. Hope is helping me with a fun surprise for the "freebie" portion and then tomorrow it will be dropped into InDesign and then off to the printer so I can ship it to Teesha on Monday.

I know I still owe pictures of the studio. I will post them after I manage to refill my tanks and feel a little inspired again. Thanks for listening and thanks for your patience. No more whining in the next post.. I promise!
