I had a show today (and tomorrow) and its been a bit hectic! I'm so excited for Tuesday, the kids will be back in school, and the first round of shows will be over, a good cuppa and some lovely blog reading is awaiting me!
All good things must come to an end, and so it happened with my USB port. The constant plugging and unplugging of the camera, iPod, and printer (by the not so little hands of my darling children) has taken its toll, and it has been completely pulled out of the computer. I have to take it in to the Geek Squad, as I can no longer print or upload (Just in time for not only my show, but also the Science Fair, arrrrrrrgh!) The Science Fair is like a full time job, so I will affectionatley remember this week as Hell Week, and I'm sure there is a very special place in heaven for mothers, where they hopefully they serve a good stiff margarita. Hey, at least I don't have to eat a live goldfish, there's always a bright side.
On top of that, we had relatives from Ireland visiting this week, which was absolutley fantastic, they are so much fun, and we don't get to see them nearly enough, but as I was cooking dinner for them, my dishwasher began smoking, and it turns out the control panel MELTED. When it rains, it pours, right? So dishes by hand, a big hole where my dishwasher should be until we get a chance to go get another one, and after my show tomorrow I'm hosting a jewelry party. I have 3 hours though between my show and the party, so hopefully I can pull it off.
I wish I could share some pics of my booth, because it turned out really cute, but it will have to wait. Can't wait to see all of everyone's new goodies, and to finish up my ornaments for the Deck the Halls swap!!

Wow! You have been and will continue to be one busy woman! I had to laugh out loud at the science fair comment. I think they sould just skip giving the kids a grade, have the moms come in for the science fair and give them the grade b/c they are usually the ones who do the majority of the work on them! LOL!
Thanks for the kind comments on my blog! Can't wait to see the pics of your booth!
ooh hate those kind of weeks and that " when it rains it pours" statement sure is true, hope it gets beeter for you soon!!!I
Will be back to check out the pics of your booth, I am sure it looks fab!!!
Oh Colleen!!! first we were sharing creative muses...now it seems like we have both been visited by the bad fairy of all things electrical must fail...so sorry for you:(. The computer port thingie is THE reason my laptop has it's own little counter space and nothing gets moved or unplugged EVER!!!...OR ELSE!!!
Sorry you had such a bad week , think positive and good things will happen. BTW your art is so sweet

Oh wow! Just reading about all that you have on your plate makes me feel overwhelmed! Good luck! Too bad your cupcakes aren't edible or you could go through a dozen just for comfort!
And I thought my day today was eventful! But with children--well you know!
I wish I could see your booth too. I'm sure it was fantastic. I love how you can take what life dishes;) you with humor. It's Tuesday morning, so hope you're relaxing!
You are a busy girl!
Have a great day...

And the best of Irish for your show!
Hi Colleen, seems like I haven't visited you in ages. Checked your older posts, just adore those beautiful cakes & the cuppies. Also think I might try to make some Taffy, sounds soooo good. We make Toffee, but a little bit different.
Hope you get a new dishwasher soon, how hysterical (well maybe not) that it melted! Hope your show went well.
Hugs, Coll :-}
Oh my! Sounds like days/weeks that I've had! That USB connection is bad, we seem to have had a similar problem on a couple of our laptops around here. Not much you can do about it, unless there is a special plug to plug in and use...ask those Geeks!
Good luck with what's on your plate!
From one Irish girl to another............................You GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!
Remember....what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!!! :-)
Miss you!!
