Back From Technical Difficulties

That's right - major technical difficulties!!

We've had little or no internet since Friday morning!!  Now I don't know about you, but I am an internet junkie - I use it for everything!!  News, directions, card samples, email, you name it, I look it up on the computer.  Combine that with 2 daughters that do all of their homework via the internet, and a husband who is working on a huge project that requires internet access - and Houston, we have a problem!!

So I did what any panicked individual would do - I ran right to Staples and bought a new modem, because I couldn't wait the 5 days for our phone company to send us a new one!!  Well that didn't work either, so that meant it was a connection either to or in the house, and we couldn't get a someone here until Monday anyway!! 

So we limped through the weekend with spotty internet service, and FINALLY the technician was able to fix the problem yesterday afternoon!  Turns out I didn't even need a new modem - so thats getting returned today!!

In any event, I had lots of time to work on getting ready for my Technique Class this Thursday.  Interested in attending?  Today is the last day to sign up, so register here!

Happy Day to You

Today's sample is another one I copied right out of the catalog.  You guys know I look there for inspiration, but I have another little tip.

Pick a sample in the catalog that you like, then get out your Color Coach.  Then recreate that  sample with an entirely different color scheme!!  Go ahead an pick colors that you never would have used before.  I promise you, you'll love the results!!
