great day w/HLA!

well, I don't know how YOU spent the 4th of July... we spent it watering the lawn! And organizing "The Library". Pictures to follow. But today-- today is the most important part of this holiday! We got to meet up with Claudia, Cheryl & Katie from HighLowAha!! Met for lunch at Guero's then headed on over to (news to me) is an Austin icon... Mr. Cupcake. Imagine an Airsteam with a huge cupcake mounted on top dispensing hand size balls of delicious sticky heaven and you'll be close.

Then, we scooted up to N Austin (and boy do I mean NORTH!!) and picked up a GENEROUS donation to the Austin RCG lending library. This is something that we've been trying to get up & running for a while now & it is finally coming together. Ellen kindly doanted several bookcases as well as books, as has Pammyla. Books have been coming in from all over and- with DQ's donation- we will have a right proper library by the end of this month!!

You see, we had ot get ours up & ready first...the dangling carrot, so to speak. We started out well-intentioned but, as we got busy, we got behind. You know how that goes, I am sure. SOOO! Yesterday we sorted & labelled & catalogued EVERY SINGLE BOOK in our personal library. That means just over 600 books, by the way. Now you see why it took a day to do. whew!

And no, I DON'T think it is the 4th of July. .. I'm quite sure it is March 12th, 2011. My brain is not at all fried. In fact, between the Prasada @ Good Karma Cafe , the Acupuncture & Massage with Laureli and the Yoga with Adam , I am probably in the best health I have ever been! Stormed here a bit this week.. a coupla tornadoes , even, but we are fine, and dry. Storage pop-up in back yard made it through just peachy, as well. Spent yesterday making some cards.. got a tad over a dozen done, to add to the rest I have finished earlier in the week. Will put those for sale @ Good Karma Tuesday, and maybe at the Essential Herb Cottage as well. Been trying to create create create so I can sell some at the local weekend farmer's market as well as those 2 other locations. Alright, here is a card from this week...enjoy, and may your weekend be filled with blessings!

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................
