Busy day at Squish central today.  We finished so many things for our upcoming October 13th Holiday Boutique that we were able to take a minute to breathe deep and take it all in.  Then 60 seconds later it was back to crazy mad crafting to also get ready for our October 20th open house.  We were clearly not thinking straight when we scheduled these on back-to-back weekends.  BUT, in true squish fashion we will get it done.   I swear,every time we cross something off the list we add 3 more things.  Tonight, my right arm is very green and glittery - it kind of looks like crop circles (we had a slight mishap in the production department). 

We are still waiting for our IT department (i.e. my works-for-me-for-free-sister) to actually come to work (i.e. my house).  When she does, I promise we will get some pictures of our hard work on here, as well as get rid of this super boring black and white layout!

Ok, so I'll admit it, I have no idea what I'm doing with this blog!  But, my sister has more faith in me than I do right now so I'm trusting her.  "Just type" she says.  "Be funny...but not stupid" she says (what...doesn't everybody's sister talk to them that way?)  So here goes.  Funny but not stupid.   Whatever that means.

My Mom and I love crafting, and people are always telling us "You should do this for a living".  The problem is, we have a hard time believing that anyone in the real world would actually like our stuff.  After all, we just do it for the sheer fun of it.  The only people we've had to fool up to this point are my rarely-creative-but-(I'll never admit that they are) super-smart sisters, our spouses, my Dad, and our ginormous group of friends (like, 13 of them).  And they think we're geniuses!  So at the risk of either an epic fail or a beautiful success we are in it together.  Either way, we'll come out on the other side laughing.  And we'll probably have a scrapbook about it too, so there's always that.

Once my sister stops making fun of me and shows me how to do more than type in a blog I plan on posting pictures and updates of our SquishPop journey.   And I promise to keep it funny...but not stupid.
