Magnets-Beads-Photography-Life

Wow….I just get one project going and moving along nicely and the year ends and a new one begins. Isn’t that just like life? To throw you a curve ball? He he he….well, we do all expect the new year to happen time after time after time, but my new year has been jam packed with goodies!!!

Let’s see. I got my holiday-earring website going, but too late to make any impact on Christmas 2005. There’s always another year, right? Magnet quotes and sales are plodding along. Nothing outrageous, but semi-steady. But the web design end of my life has kicked into high gear.

I am working on a new project for a wonderfully talented lady who does ScrimShaw. Now you ask, what is scrimshaw? It’s the fine art of scratching and carving on Whale Bone, Ivory, and other materials. Then, you fill in the scratches with black ink, or colors if you are really talented, and viola!!! You have knife handles, gun grips, bolo ties, earrings, necklaces, elephant tusks mounted, whale teeth, and on and on and on. It is great fun working on this new site and I will be meeting with my client in February when I am in Las Vegas on other business. Watch for the grand opening announcement of this web site.

And that’s just another thing that is keeping me busy. I’m starting off my travel year early by taking a long weekend with a friend in Las Vegas. I can’t wait, we are going to see The Blue Man Group, so that’s very cool indeed. I will gamble a bit, walk a bit more, maybe even take in a massage. ;) We will do the Antique Arms gun show and he will do others while I do my own thing.

Right after I get back from Vegas I start on another web design project, well, actually a re-design of an existing site. It’s for a pair of photographers and they are doing my daughter’s wedding! [yes, that is in March, 2006, just to keep me on my toes and to stay very busy!!!] This is will be an exciting project as there will be a private side for customers only to view their photos and ordering from there, etc.

And along with all of this, I will be updating and running the magnet business, the earring business, doing a little recreational knitting, and who knows what else!!!

So, it’s time to get back on the wheel and go spinning around another night. Everyone stay warm, or cool, and just hang!
