Hey all, Just wanted to share some recent updates since I've been scarce on the forum.
I've been working on my shop and finishing my gemology and jewelry design courses. (I will be going back to college this winter full time for my next IT degree.)
I finally made a facebook page for my business. This was one of my hardest challenges...lol Instagram was already killing me. (Not a social media fan).
I've had a monster surge of inspiration, leading me to make themed collections. I've been playing around with all sorts of things, lanyards and eye glass holders, purse and planner charms, stamping, etc. That being said, I'm not sure if the upcoming bead show I'm going to will cause my head to explode from an overload or not. I've had to do a lot of journaling and idea boards so that I don't forget any of it since my class is taking up some of my production time (we have a lot of pieces to make to demonstrate techniques).
I got some more acrylic storage boxes for my work area so I've been tidying up as the pieces come in. I set up a better filming station for some planned "stories" for Instagram. I also got a new phone. I did TRY to join the iphone club Sunday, but after going to 5 stores and hearing "we're sold out" I gave up and got another Samsung phone. =P
That's all!
<3 Togan

Ooh! Exciting stuff Togan! I hope you’ll be able to take a moment and photograph some of your themed collections for us to ooh and awww over. But I know you have to be so busy. I’ll be eager to hear how the bead show goes.

I'm exhausted just from reading all of that, Togan! Good luck with all of that, and don't forget to carve out some time for yourself (and your adorable helper), too. Oh, and your husband. Somehow the husbands always come last on my lists

You've been a very busy woman, Togan! Good work!
As Cat said, don't forget to take some time for yourself. That's important, too.

Wow, togan, you have a lot going on, but it sounds like you are organized and have it under control. Glad you checked in to let us know what you've been up to. I'd like to see your new work too when you get a chance - not like you don't already have enough to do! Dawn
