My love/hate relationship with SUMMER

Summer.  I love it.  I hate it.  I love having my sweet kids home.  I desperatley NEED an hour...or even a minute to myself.  I love the sunshine.  I hate the heat.  I love the pool.  I hate the constant mom freak in me that thinks my kids are drowning while they dive for pennies.  I love how my babies get tan (and one even turns blonde) in the summer.  I hate pool hair and sunburn fear.  I love the summer library program.  I hate the fines I pay because we ALWAYS check out more books than we can read in 2 weeks and I ALWAYS forget to renew them.  I love the IDEA of my kids going to camps.  I hate being a taxi driver and writing checks to camp.  I love sleeping late.  We NEVER get to sleep late because of all these pesky early risers that live at my house.  I love air conditioning.  My air conditioning is broken for the 2nd time this summer.  I LOVE my job.  I think I am insane if I really think I am going to get any work done this summer with three kids at home that like to be shuffled in the mom taxi, stay at the pool for hours and stand over me asking a million questions while I try to work.

I'm reevaluating.  Starting anew.  I've decided that I will need to allow 2 full weeks for orders during the summer months.  I'll try my best to get them done faster but I have to give myself 2 weeks in my head so I don't have a cloud of doom hanging over me 24/7.  I've also decided not to take on so many custom orders during the summer.  I'm going to do my best to keep constantly updating the website so there will be plenty of choices but I will need to cut back on doing new designs...just for the summer.  I'm also going to take a week or two to REALLY not do any orders at all.  I'm constantly saying I'm closed for a day or two here and there but I am always playing catch up on those days.  This time...I mean it.  Time off.  I'll let you know when it's going to be.

The Amazing Jana Update...

I recently added a gadget to my blog (over there on the right hand side) that tells readers what the most popular posts are and I was not at all surprised to see that THIS POST about the amazing Jana ranked right at the top. Jana is the namesake for the JANA design and I have been so happy to donate a portion of all sales of that design to her sweet family as she fought the fight with ovarian cancer during ONE FULL YEAR of chemo treatments. MANY of you have asked about her over the past year and SO MANY of you have purchased JANA items and I thank you and I know that she thanks you too. I'm so glad to tell you that Jana is doing GREAT and yesterday was herLAST chemo treatment and we welcomed her and her sweet hubby home with a great celebration. I was so happy to be behind the camera and behind my big ol' sunglasses so nobody could see my mascara running. It was so beautiful.

Jana, you are so amazing. I can't even begin to put into words how much you bless those around you. You are a beautiful, Godly woman and I am so proud to call you my friend.

If you'd like to purchase JANA items I will continue donating a portion of the proceeds until the end of the month!!
