Doing the Friday happy dance!

[rhienelleth]

Yay!  It's Friday, and I am in such a good mood.  Not that I have any particularly good reason why I should be, what with Mark doing a seminar this weekend and thus taking the entire weekend for martial arts, and also thus having a dozen people or so descend upon our house as weekend house guests, but inexplicably, I am.  They're all very nice people, anyway.  Seriously, you have never seen such polite house guests as these. 

And because of this, right now, this very second, house elves are cleaning my house for me!  That's right, elves.  Bet you wish you had your own, right?  Well, I can't get too excited, as this is a one time thing, but still, when I get home from work, the "public" part of the house will be nice and sparkly clean, and all I'll have to do is ready the guest room and clean our bedroom/bathroom.  Enough of a reason for me to be happy today, I'm thinking. 

Plus, right after Mark gets home from work, we are leaving for Portland - him, so he can go and train with some of the people who are coming to the seminar - they're a buyu group he inherited after their instructor moved to Colorado - and yes, my husband is crazy when it comes to martial arts.  He has no problem driving an hour and a half to train a bunch of people less than twelve hours before they're going to be driving down to train with him.  Me, on the other hand, he's going to drop off at my friend Paula's house, so us girls can spend some quality jewelry making time together.  :)  She wants to learn how to chainmaille, and I've got a bracelet in a new weave I'm working on. 

I need to order more rings for new stuff, but I've promised myself I wouldn't until I sell some of what I already have.  Restraint, restraint, restraint.  Noooooo problem. 

Speaking of which, my Mom has a glass artist friend who apparently just opened up her own shop, and might be interested in carrying some of my jewelry on consignment.  I need to set up an appointment to show her some of what I have.  I also need to figure out how to use the graphic - or at least the lotus - in byzantium_lotus's header for business cards.  How does that work, does anyone know?  You take a pic in and say "I want this on my cards"?  Hmm.

I believe you just take in a jpeg of it. You can call and ask where you want to make your cards what they require - and if you want to set up the card your self, graphic and writing all together, what form they would need for it.

Alternatively these days you can make some pretty slick cards at home.

Either way, I have the lotus and the wall as a separate picture that I can send to you if you want it.

Hope the consignment thing works out!

The pic would be awesome! I want to tie in the logo on the cards with the graphic for the site. :)

You can order custom business cards from Vista Print. If you go here you can upload your own image to see how it would look. They have a bunch of different styles, and right now, they're running a special where the premium business cards are free (plus shipping, of course). It's possible that it's just coming up that way since I've ordered from them before, but the regular price for 250 is only $19.99. I know several people who use them for their businesses (my mother included) and they are really nice looking (and cheap, too!).

This is perfect, thank-you!
