Timing is everything

There is good timing, and then there is bad timing. Like sneaking off the floor and running into your boss who just came back from lunch. Or having to wait for a 200 car long train, when you are late for a appointment.
It seems that lately my card suppliers have not been working on synchronizing their timing with me. After waiting much too long for my supplier to bring in more card stock and envelopes that I desperately needed, I placed my order with different supplier. Then merely minutes after I confirm the order, my first supplier calls, and guess what just showed up. I am now the proud owner of 1000 envelopes, and another set of 500 envelopes and card stock. Ain't life grand? Maybe I am being given a not so subtle push to get out there and sell some more cards. Or maybe I am being given the opportunity to create something and inspire myself to greater heights. When I look at that box of envelopes there is so much potential streaming out, swirling in the air, drifting with possibilities, it is inspiration unfurling. I can't wait to begin, and all this because of a tardy supplier.

    All worth the wait.

    That photo with the 'pegged' cards is a cracking composition.

  4. Hi Jen, I've toyed with the idea of making some of my photos into cards but am unsure where to have them printed up...could you share your supplier? Perhaps they will work with someone from Norway? Your photos are stunning as always!! Have a great weekend!! :-))

  5. Like having too many apples and inventing a recipe for caramel apple syrup...you just never know where the push will come from to make us be just a little extra creative! Can't wait to see what you do with all those cards! Kim
