Modish Monthly Meetup::November Goals

The only reason I know it’s November is because here in Phoenix the 100 degree weather has finally broken.  And there’s Christmas stuff at Target.  If it weren’t for that, I’d probably still think it was July.  October was a good month for me.  I don’ t think it was that I had some super natural wave of productivity hit me, I think I just had some very concrete goals with some very real deadlines.  But, the feeling of accomplishment is still very rewarding!  Starting today there is a week of giveaways on my blog to celebrate it’s “grand opening”.  This was where a lot of my October time and goals were focused.  I also (FINALLY!) ordered business cards, got some printed materials and a sample book put together for meeting with brides and had the best time in Seattle with my amazing husband and wonderful friends.  The only fail was on getting some more holiday items listed on Etsy so it’s making a reappearance for November.  Other things slated for November: after swearing off doing any craft shows I heard about a really awesome show on the campus of Arizona State University called Indie Chic.  So I applied.  I’m not dying to get accepted, but this is the only local show I feel like is in line with what I create and how I create it, so we’ll see.  If I do get accepted then November is going to become print, fold, & package like crazy month because the show is December 5th.  And if none of that happens I need to get to work on some wedding suite concepts that have been floating around in my head.  Outside of work though, November is definitely my favorite month.  I love fall, I love pumpkin everything, I love Thanksgiving and my anniversary is at the end of the month, so I’m really looking forward to November.

On a side note, I’m reeeeeally excited about all of the giveaways on the blog this week and would love for you to share the excitement with your friends and family.  Please feel free to tweet, blog, FB, whatever you do and let people know there is awesome free stuff to be won!

Happy November!

    Cheers to your fantastic October. :)

    Southern California isn’t quite as hot as Arizona, but yes, I feel you on the 100 degree weather finally breaking into relatively fall weather.

    I found you through Modish Biz and am a newcomer late in the month of November. I feel like the new kid that starts school three weeks late! Hope this month has been as great for you as October.
