3-day Weekend Woohoo!

Sometimes working from home means you are always working... Your weekdays and weekends seem to become the same thing. Although I would have it no other way I am noticing that I do have to declare (and stick with) my 'working hours' and my 'non-working hours'.

I found the best way to do that is to leave the house! This weekend my husband and I will be heading up to Mount Lemmon near Tuscon, Arizona to relax at a friends cabin for a few days...

I'm excited to have no computer, no cell phone reception, and no crafts lying around that could be finished!!! All I will have is my camera(s) and a load of magazines and crossword puzzles.



I hope you all have a relaxing three day weekend!

The Storm

We had an amazing storm come through the desert and I shot a little video of it... Check it out:

Newsletter, giveaways and Burn After Reading...

Hi!

I'm currently putting together an email newsletter that will run once a month... In the newsletter you will find shop updates, specials/coupons, and other random stuff...

Interested? Please email me at: newsletter@nestausa.com (it's still me, the title just helps me organize emails)

Also, if you sign up for the newsletter you will receive a free promo pack that includes a print, postcards, and some other secret stuff. (while supplies last - I will blog when I am out of stuff). Please include your mailing address if you are interested.

I promise I will not SPAM you :)

Lastly, I am sooooo excited to see the next Coen brothers flick 'Burn After Reading'. The cast looks amazing!!!

Here's a preview:

Helllloooo friends!

I haven't blogged in forever! Let's just say I took the summer off :)

Things have been pretty busy in the shop... I had my best month ever in July!!! Woohoo! I've also gotten some great opportunities that I will share with you when the time is right...

Anyhoo - I'm off to watch the Olympics (my biggest motivator at the moment) but I will leave with my most favorite quote, slogan, saying, etc. ever...

'JUST DO IT'

(oh how it applies to so much in life)

Peace :)

Heading West...

Yup! I'm taking a mini-break to head out to Southern California for a show and to visit friends... I am so excited to get out of this heat!!! (we're on our 13th day in a row of 110 degree and over temps)

If you are in the area drop by and say hi:

Hope to see you there!

Lots of News!!!

First off Etsy was kind enough to let me share my story with the Etsy community in a Storque Article. Check it out here:

It's so strange seeing my big face on Etsy! Thanks for all of the kind comments :) I really appreciate every one of them...

Also, I will be traveling to Cali next month to participate in the Handmade Brigade in Cerritos, California.
Here's the link:

They were nice enough to squeeze me in due to a cancellation... If you are in the area come by and say hi! Mention you read my blog and I'll give you some free goodies.

Lastly, it's summertime here. That means 115 degree days and cranky people (including myself). I'd like to get some camping in and maybe a few trips to SoCal to hang out with friends and fam. I probably won't be blogging much but I will be sure to update my flickr with anything new. (there should be a flickr icon to the right of this post)

Anyhoo - take care to all.

I'll leave you with some of my new sketches on my way out.

Oh - one more thing! You can get the new NIN album (and artwork) for free on their website. www.NIN.com . I especially dig the artwork.
