A Busy Day...

I had a super busy day.  First I finished up two of the three swaps I meant to have in the mail before I went to New Jersey - just one more to get finished and mailed.  The lines at the Post Office are getting very long and I haven't mailed any gifts yet!  I also had all of the usual catching up to do after being away for a few days.

Later in the day I went to the home of someone I met while checking out the clearance bins at Michael's.  She told me that she had Design Studio but didn't know how to use it so I helped three Design Studio "newbies" get started (her sister and a friend were there too).  We were quite a sight  to see with laptops and Cricuts all lined up - we had to download and update the software on all of the computers and also update the firmware on the machines so that took a while!  Then I could explain the basics so they could get going with welding their words.  We had a lot of fun and I did a bit of enabling (don't you think everyone "needs" the snowflake cart  When It's Cold Outside?).  So, in addition to the online classes,  I have started making "house calls" for Design Studio help (but only in the local area).

Once I got home again it was late.  I started a post about one of the swaps I mailed but then I realized that I needed to review the rest of the comments for the Original Scrapbox EZ View Giveaway.  By the time I finished, it was after midnight and the entries were closed.  I haven't heard a final tally from Rachelle yet, but I hope we made it to 12,000 visits so the charity will get a Desk too!  I drew the winner at about 2 a.m. and I have sent an email.  I'll post the name here as soon as I get a response from the winner.

ETA - I have heard back from the winner with all of the information required.  Congratulations to Kitty from North Carolina.

There was no time to do a video today  - but I have high hopes for tomorrow!  In the meanwhile, I left a sneak peek at another project that you will see soon.  Now I just have to get some sleep!
