Hello-ness
I
have serious vertigo from working on a 24" monitor for the first time
today. We're holding off on the 30"er till the next upgrade. (It's
been 5 years or so since Mac last upgraded that beast.) I've heard you
get used to the gi-normity. I sure hope so, as I'm definitely a bit
dizzy — but it's a grateful dizzy. My main machine is now a laptop
and I can't say how excited I am about the portability. Beyond heading
to the park or the local bookstore for some quiet concentration, just
switching rooms at will is exciting stuff.
I was trying to
convince my new assistant to take a photo so I could introduce her
here. Then, it dawned on me to swipe her Twitter photo & move on
with it. (You don't mind, do you Emily?)
meet Emily. Some of you may recognize her from the scrapbooking
world. Emily worked with Heidi Swapp for years, and Making Memories
before that. We had narrowed our interviewing process down to two
candidates and were thick into discussing the matter when we received a
last-minute suggestion to give Emily a call. Well, Emily shook up the
whole conversation and here she now is. Currently, Emily is your
girl if you have a customer service question at the Heather Bailey Store, a press
inquiry, a wholesale order, etc. Basically, she's our company
juggler. Well, I guess we are all company jugglers. (You know those
juggling acts that start with one juggler, then a second juggler steps
on stage, then a third & so on? Pretty soon, the bowling pins form
a mid-air ballet? That sort of thing. We're not ready for Vegas or
anything, but we're getting there. We're still working on our stage
names.)
Oh, and you've gotta go back and read each & every comment left on the last post — holy toledo, what a bunch of crazy, cool stories!! I'm both inspired and weirded out. Time to start a dream journal.
