Buried

I truly apologize for not being here or on Inchie INKlings for the last week plus. Life is currently zooming down the highway full speed ahead. This week is Spring Break, so my kiddos are hanging here with me. We are also in the main throws of planning a business move to a different location. With that move comes a LOT of planning in order for everything to run smoothly. You know me - all i's must be dotted and t's crossed - LOL! This move will take place the beginning of May. I will be certain to keep you updated in case we have any glitches with our phones or computers. That is my primary worry - but fortunately we can still operate from here if things do not get up and running quickly in the new location, so please do not worry about it - we will still be giving you top-notch customer service. Your needs come first and I am confident that we will be able to continue to take good care of you.

When it rains it pours - life is perhaps a little insane being my hip surgery is scheduled for May 2nd. Fortunately it is not a replacement and so I plan on walking out of the hospital the same day. It's all good - I truly am looking forwards to moving ahead with a more painfree life soon Ü

So one challenge at a time! I am so grateful for my business associates Debbie Olson, Michelle Wooderson, Trudee Sauer, Cindy Lyles and Sharon Harnist. The incredible inspiration and education they provide to each of you on my behalf is so appreciated! Please continue to check in on their blogs to see what amazing projects they have created to inspire you and share new ways for you to use the products which you have purchased from us. I hope to be back soon with my own inspiration. Each day I have told myself that today is the day that I get to create, and alas the day has passed wtihout any creations.

Please do not forget the Inchie INKlings challenge. Remember there is a prize package awaiting some lucky participant. The submissions are trickling in - so chances are pretty good that if you particpate you just might win Ü We will be posting those submissions soon, so if you have sent us an Inchie or an Inchie file we will be putting the gallery up in the near future.

We are also in the process of creating our second newsletter - sign-up at the bottom of our homepage. Be certain to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to where it says "Join our mailing list", to receive special tutorials, news and store offers delivered to your email box.

Thank you again for your continued patience and support!

I'm glad you're finally getting the surgery you've been waiting for so that you finally have some relief. I know it's been such a long wait to get this specific procedure done. I wish you a speedy recovery. I'll be thinking of you with good wishes. Hugs!

Ellen, Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care of you & enjoy the pampering.

I sympathize with your need for surgery, and empathize with the desire for a painless (or less painful) life. Chronic pain dulls creativity and interferes with every aspect of our lives. And it’s a real bummer when you also have OCD! It’s difficult to be creative, much less achieve perfection with pain dragging at your every step.

Take care of yourself first and the rest will fall into place in good time. Your many friends will help with the move, the blogs, and the creations while you recover. Your loyal fans and customers will be understanding and supportive.

Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery.

Good luck with your move. My office moved the week after Christmas and it was quite an event. Let's just say I'm still sorting through problems, five months later. I hope your move is smoother.

Praying for a successful surgery first, and a swift and "organized" move second !! :)

Wishing you smooth sailing with both the move and your surgery. All the best,
