New Website and my New Year!

Have you all had a chance to visit the new website, www.wholelottawhimsy.com?  Wow…what an amazing amount of sweat and tears savored on that endeavor.  It’s like giving birth but gestation wasn’t quite as long!  Not quite done perfectly but these days I live for imperfect perfection.

It’s full of new graphics, new ideas and new possibilities.  We are working on new helpful content and amazing new features.  All to give you more value and to answer those questions you just didn’t know where to find!

It feels like there is a crescendo of sorts happening this week.  Divine timing if you will.  Of course, nothing is a coincidence, it’s all a grand plan, maybe just not mine.  

I have always loved having my birthday right smack in the middle of the year.  It’s like a second chance at new years revolutions (yes, revolutions).

I’ve gotten very clear over the last year about what’s important, how to make systems so things run more smoothly, how to do things effortlessly.  I’ve never been one to KISS…and be able to tell about it…”until today”.  I’ve devoured books, online seminars, gone to retreats and hired a personal coach, which I highly recommend.

In the last year, we’ve moved our warehouse to a space three times the size, renovated our old warehouse into a new studio/office, ridden the tragic roller coaster that effects so many (cancer) and grown our staff to twice the size.  Not to mention, we started a revolutionary free tutorial challenge of 60 weeks and 60 tutorials with 10 amazing masters.  What was I thinking!

I’m excited about sharing these fabulous Master Muse Collection pieces at Bead and Button at our all new booth!  I’ll also be showing off a new kiln component I designed for Paragon!  Yes, the third kiln I’ve collaborated with Paragon on in three years.  How exciting!

My son starts high school football tomorrow as I celebrate a new year of life.  He’s worked so hard, four days a week for the last 9 months preparing to excel in his love.  Yes, he’s becoming a linchpin!  I couldn’t be prouder. 

It’s an exciting time, full of so many more possibilities.  Not to mention that I have great plans for this fall.  Featuring a new program, full of new ideas, to help so many.  

Thanks to all my friends and family.  Yes, my readers and customers are my friends.  I am blessed to have all that amazing energy to connect to.  Artists rock the world with their gifts!

Have a tremendous week.  Don’t forget to check out Donna Penoyer’s tutorial on Wednesday.  I think Wednesdays are pretty darn fabulous,  aren’t they!
