*handing back the parcel tape, I'm not ready yet**
I think my attention span will be about the same. The worst thing will be throwing all of our rubbish out. I still don't know how we've managed to accumulate so much stuff in under 5 years. We arrived here with 1 lorry load, now I think we'll need 3! lol
I hope to go and see the little man (he's 23) in the first 2 weeks of April. He's doing a lot of traveling later in the year so I have to grab him while I can.
2 weeks is going to fly by Karen, you best start working on your attention span. x
Hi Dawn! I'm really not ready to start packing yet, I'm just preparing myself mentally.
I won't be putting my shop in vacation mode as we have an iPad for when we're traveling around. I can leave it for a few hours at a time and as long as I know I've got a computer connection where I'm going, then it will be fine. I don't have physical products to send out, only emails so it's a bit different for me.
I'm lucky with the move - I have a business partner who will be watching the shops- I'll have the stock so he'll have to phone in orders for me but we can stay open. Though with previous moves, we always made a point of checking the internet via mobile or local library access and just put a note in our announcement to say it might take a little longer to reply to messages. It never seemed to put people off ;)
Sounds like Karen and Eureka are going to be busy! On the topic of vacation mode, I will be going to south America with my husband next month for holiday. I am worried about putting my vacation mode on, so am making things and taking it with me and just mailing from Chile or Argentina. Do you think people will mind that?
I haven't made up my mind what to do about a holiday this year.....I quite fancy just staying at home and going out for day trips or staying somewhere for a couple of nights before coming home for a few days and then going somewhere else for a few days.
I am keen to go to a few places in Europe......but can't make my mind up!
Hi Sarah! How is your day goin? I would love to go to Europe! I have only been to the UK (is that considered part of Europe?..) If I wasn't going to South America I would def. be hitting some cool places in Europe. So much of the world to explore and see, I don't blame you for not being able to make up your mind!! :)
That is great you are having a good day Sarah! I love travelling and exploring, the only down side about this trip though is that my son won't be coming :( He will be staying with grandma for 10 days, and I am finding that hard to deal with right now err ;/
My day is going good though, I could be more productive right now. AM trying to get my little one down for a nap! :)
Careful guys, you'll be getting a roll of parcel tape :)
Busy trying to decide on business cards for the goth weekend- think I might get a bunch of basic ones done I can hand out to whoever, then some nice mini cards from Moo for posh customers that I must remember not to leave in the bottom of my handbag....
Looks like we've all got itchy feet - if you could plot crafters on a world map, do you think we'd be seeing mass migrations? :)
Very exciting times ahead for me. I bought a whole load of floating frames for my new series of paintings (I'm exhibiting this summer) and they are brilliant! They were not that expensive but look really professional. It's the first time I've been able to buy professional frames so I feel like I've made it, well, a little bit maybe. ;-)
Eureka your paintings are beautiful, you are very talented! You must be so excited for the exhibition! I am exhibiting in May and so nervous errr ;/ I wish I could and see it in person.
Cat- Congrats on the win!! That is pretty awesome! Go Wales!! :) Hope every-one is having a great Sunday or Monday if you are in the Southern hemisphere :)
Thanks Anau! It was so well deserved. They're such a good, young team. It's very difficult for them to stay calm under all the pressure in a rugby obsessed country. I hope all you yummy mummies had a great Mothering Sunday.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I took a couple days off.... it feels like summer here and most definitely is not yet. :) And my littlest turns 5 in a week so been busy doing stuff for her party. Hoping to be online more this week.
