Back up from down under

It has been a whirlwind since Market.  I have literally not stopped since we returned.  I finally feel like I can put a few words in a quick post as I sit in the airport- on the west coast, with my heart in the east-  waiting for my flight to Australia.  I have had good intentions by documenting the last few months with photographs- but really bad follow through.  I am to say the least just plain exhausted.  My mom has put my blogging to shame- but be sure to see her blog for our latest- last minute- fly by the seat of our pants- happened overnight adventure… OUR BIG MOVE!  From Creative Stitching (thousands of orders- thank goodness for Mary because Cathy and my mom were conveniently in Canada for the big launch- Im’ not sure either of us slept at all that week) to our annual 12 Days of Christmas celebration- to trying to set up our new space in 36 hours (that’s 36 hours total including move time which we did not have 1 single box packed before the movers arrived)- because why not move an office a few days before Christmas in the midst of absolute mayhem???  To the 2013 BOM sign ups which we increased from 500 to 700 participants… from working in 2 places at once- one with no internet or phone and the other with no supplies- I have never been so ready to get out of a place so bad.  24 hours ago my mom and I had no idea how we would ever make it to the airport.  We had no clothing- no suitcases- and absolutely no energy.  This exhaustion is a good exhaustion- the type that results from hard work and  lots of support from you!  We all want to say thank you for supporting us- thank you for your kind words- and thank you for your patience during the last few weeks of craziness!  I am off for some fun, sun and to spend time with my mom, something I don’t often get to do.
