Update

This week is moving both fast and slow and I have yet to really paint anything. I just feel stressed. There are so many things I have to juggle lately I am starting to wonder if I should bring in help. Of course training them will take more time out of my day that I don't have so it is sort of a double edged sword. Johnnie and I will talk more about it this weekend.

I'm getting ready for Coastcon, which is in March. It is a mail in so I just want to get it done and out of the way so I can focus on my next big show which is Megacon. Why Florida you ask? My dad lives there so I thought I would mix a little business with our visit. That shouldn't surprise anyone, we are always working on something or another even when we are on "vacation" One of my goals for the year is to keep building up the momentum that seemed to really get going last year. I just have to stay focused and motivated though I find myself easily distracted this week.

We are doing show ordering for the year in installments. Mostly because I don't want 50 shipments showing up at the same time and this way it isn't SO much money all in one clip. I did order well over a thousand backing boards and bags in various sizes for this season. We will see how far it will get me this year. I need to be better prepared for some shows. DragonCon for example, we sold out of a LOT of stuff even though I SWORE what I brought was over kill.

Also we still have some Mugs left over. We are now sold out of the Sly fox mug, but we have the others. I expect the Cheshire cat to be next because of the movie hype so if you were planning on buying any of them, now is the time.
