I was able to see Ian and Kaylyn in Phillie last night. I am so proud of them. It was great to catch up and hear the latest and the greatest in their lives. So many things for them.....Halloween parties......living in the city where the baseball team is in the World Series---they have seen and heard a lot so far with the Phillies winning the league championship.....they both started part time jobs last weekend......Ian is organizing a jazz Christmas band (he was surprised they didn't already have one)........and last night we were able to see the Jazz Ensemble he is in perform.....
Wow......they were good.....I am so glad Ian is performing. We love to see the performances. The music was swing meets bop....a lot of Dizzie Gillespie...they also had Jazz singers perform one song....it was upbeat and fun to listen to.
I started the day at work at Paper Source yesterday. It was such a great day. I love when customers bring in what they create with our products(canvas not available through Paper Source). Melissa Cookman made this for a gift someone. We were lucky enough to see it before she gave her present. My favorite part of the job is when customers bring in what they have made. Another customer
Diane Faye came in and showed us the best usage of our papers so far. She is a graphic designer and has a great blog and you can see her steamship invitations
here.
The other great thing about Mondays is to see all the new product coming in.........and the other good thing about this Monday is I have Tuesday and Wednesday off so it was like tgim........I am catching up on my computer.....my car is getting fixed and now I must do something with this house........it is a disaster.........with the no children in the house it has left me feeling very unmotivated.....but, it has gone on long enough....my biggest problem is which pile to attack first.........the laundry.......the bills.........the dirty bathrooms........the empty refrigerator.....ok......get me off this computer so I can tackle these things!
November this year to me is remembering the good times I was able to experience at Silver Bella last year.......going into November this year I was going to challenge myself to the November Creative Every Day challenge. I can remember seeing the buttons in the new year on blogs and thinking I should challenge myself. I feel challenged enough to make a huge commitment like that....I thought I could start taking pictures in October and it wouldn't be that hard....well I am off to a bad start already.....it's November 2nd already. So, I will put that thought aside---no pressure here. But, I would like to keep sharing what we are up to at Princeton Paper Source. Our holiday window is up and I can't wait to share it. We also have open houses with free demos and make and takes for the next two weekends I would like to share. We sold out again for our Girl's Night Out which was called the Grateful Table. I loved this night. It is good to take some time out and think about what you are grateful for and do some paper crafts to go along with the holiday. Well big day tomorrow for the future of New Jersey----the Governors race-----time to vote....and another goodie is Starbucks is giving out free coffee tomorrow and they switch to red cups. I love when the new cups come out to check out the graphics.
