Update

Please forgive me for neglecting my poor blog this week. But first, how do you like my new design? Thank goodness for my web designer, who jumped in and made me a whole new blog template when my original template crashed. Since we were changing the look a bit, I thought it was time to give my blog a name and how apropos is "The Spotter"?

My desk is literally swamped with InkSpot Workshop and Fire Hydrant Press orders, plus a whole "To Do" list for my day job, and we are going out of town every weekend for the next 4 weeks so I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Guess I'll just have to take a deep breath and pray that I will get through this.

Ok, now on to some really great news, I'm proud to announce yet another contribution to Last Chance For Animals. I will now keep a running tally of donations made, right here on my blog's sidebar. As most of you know, a portion of all Fire Hydrant Press sales are donated to LCA. I passionately support the work of this non-profit organization and hope our little contributions help to save ALL animals!

Sneak Peek!

I just can't keep this under wraps for much longer. Here is a snippet of what InkSpot Workshop's very own website is going to look like. For the past couple months I have been working with designer Arianne Foulks, at Aeolidia Designs. So far it's been pretty easy, until yesterday that is....

We are at the phase of my project where I need to actually start adding my content, meaning products, welcome message, etc... I received link after link of informative tutorials about everything I will need to know from the sizing my pictures, to the proper naming of my files and then I believe I even saw something about writing code. I'm a bit nervous and scared, like I've really gotten myself in over my head. I'm just a medical device sales rep who gets a big kick out of making stationery for crying out loud:)

Deep breath... ok, everything is going to work out just fine because it always does. Once I dig into figuring all of this out, I will be a pro in minutes {fingers crossed}

In the meantime, my friend and local Etsy seller Lynn Tennile, of Sage Saks, is quite a pro behind the camera and has offered to do my product shots. Take a look at her pictures, how could I ever say no? Looks like I already know what props I'll be using.

Stay tuned for the exciting launch of http://www.inkspotworkshop.com/. Until then, wish me lots of luck:)
