{sneak peek} another pig steals the show. check!

Have you ever have one of those days or weeks
when you have so much to do that you get nothing done?

When you look at your to do list and can't choose

where to start because every item is important?

So overwhelmed that it paralyzes you

and all you want to do is hide under the covers?

Hello. This is my life.

The life of a entrepreneur.

A life filled with lists.

The I-Want-To-Do-That List.

The I-Should-Do-That List.

 The I-Need-To-Do-That List.

The I-Have-To-Do-That List.

The If-I-Don't-Do-This-I-Won't-Pay-The-Mortgage List.

Yesterday...I hunkered down in the office

determined to finish one outstanding project!

If I haven't mentioned it before, I love the Children's Party Network! It's a lovely mix of Party Royalty, Old Timers and Newbies just breaking into the industry. I have met some amazing women and have some wonderful collaborations in the works!

At the end of October, I had the opportunity to work with a newbie, Heather Locker. Heather was planning a baby shower for her future niece, Charlotte Emily. The theme..."Charlotte's Web." The problem...she couldn't find much in party décor that fit the theme. I offered to partner with her. She accepted. {It also gave me the opportunity to say, "Howdy, Partner!" at the beginning of every email!}

Here's teeny-tiny look at our collaboration...

{coming soon} to The Market

J worked his magic again and astounded me with an adorable painting of Wilbur and Charlotte. {He's really good with pigs!} It was better than I envisioned and I had a really fantastic vision! I designed a number of items for Heather's party but still had the rest of the collection to finish.

Check! I finished all of the designs yesterday. Photoshoot this afternoon. In the Market on Friday. I did it! I finished an item on my do list.

{break for Happy Dance!}

Now...all I had to do is submit the party to some party blogs. Any suggestions?

Hope you like the new collection. It makes me want to sit down and get lost in a good book. But...I'm on a roll. Watch out To-Do Lists. Here I come!

Stay tuned to Oink! for more inspiration...
