crafty synergy interview

the sweet patricia zapata, talented crafter and cards designer of a little hut (go check out her web shoppe!) has set up a blog of interviews she does with various artists and designers all over the world at crafty synergy! in her own words -

"Crafty Synergy is a blog about creative women and their businesses. It is a place about understanding what these artists do and why they do it. As a graphic designer, and owner of two small businesses myself, I find that I want to know more about others carving a niche for themselves. My hope is that these interviews are inspiring and help some of you move forward with your dreams as well"

so many of our favorites have already been interviewed, and i too was graciously invited to do an interview with her sooooo long ago (thanks!!) but you know me... i lose track of emails.... until the peeved sender emails me a reminder (x__x) ... oopps! so sorry for the long long delay, patricia! haha but i'm sure she wasn't peeved at all... i hope!

anywaysss... my interview can be found here

thanks so much! and here's cheers to the holiday season to all of us busy bees!!

back to worky work...

finally reconnected!

hello everyone!
I am pleased to say that I am finally reconnected!

As most of you already know, I recently moved from the south end of the city to the north end. The move was a huge task but I did have help from many of my friends which made it better than it could have ever been. To them...know that I appreciated all your time and help very much! My M.S. also proved to be an unwelcome guest through the process as well. The downside of the move was the Verizon DSL issues. My last login was November 10, 2006. Yes, its taken that long for all the switches to be reset and the signals rerouted! Needless to say I wasn't real happy with their delays in transferring my DSL service; that's all in the past now. Verizon did issue me a credit for a months worth of service for the delays!

In that small window of being "unconnected from the world" I managed to get 531 new messages in my email! Understandably, it will take a few days to go through them. Certain to say I lost quite a bit of potential business from the aquarium plant design project and a complete loss of communication from any potential and or existing customers. I'm amazed at how dependent we have all become on the internet, in some respects it troubles me a great deal.

Looking forward to reconnecting with all of you very soon...Cheers! Ron
