I’ve been cooking up some awesome new blog structure for you, so you might want to come back here more often.  Expect it to begin NEXT WEEK.  I’ll post the schedule sometime this weekend.  Yay!  I’m really ready to get back into this.

In the mean time, you can catch me here:

Sunday, be there: CRAFTY WONDERLAND

Friday, December 11th, 2009

I’m in the thick of it.  I’m also fighting a cold.  Why does that happen??  this is what I looked like yesterday: awesome.

Photo 185

(this from my home botox kit.)

hehehe…JK!!  amazing, home botox kits—what the!?  my beautifully plump lips come from a natural chapped and full-on nose blowing state.  Luckily, this one is going fast.  I’m much better today.  by Sunday, I should be back in top form.

If you’re in or near Portland on Sunday, you MUST come to Crafty Wonderland.  Some of my all time favorite crafters and artists will be there.  It is absolutey not to be missed. check out the deets below:

crafty wonderland 2009

Our booth will be OFF. THE. HOOK.  My assistant, Lupe, has been working her tail off to make our CRAFTY booth an atmosphere you won’t forget.  Also, the amazingly stylish Courtney from kelly + olive put in some time to give me her incomparable opinion on the endless possibilities with booth decor.  It’s gonna rock, y’all.

More on my life and love and warm fuzzy thoughts when the holidays end and I become a normal person again.  I am SO grateful to all of you for your support, kindness, generosity, and invigorating enthusiasm over b & i…hands down, would not be doing this without you.  thank you.  from the bottom of my heart.

big huge weekend love,

betsy
