I Love To Travel For Business

I love to travel for business. I spent July and August traveling almost every day. I find that the key for me to traveling that much is organization both professionally and personally. The more organized I am the more smoothly I travel! I feel less stressed and enjoy the moment more when I have everything organized. I am not good when I have to fly by the seat of my pants. I know some people are much better at that than I am.

Today I am working in my office. Enjoying a day of no travel. Tomorrow I will hit the road again. But not until I finish organizing today!

ArtMind Tutorial: How To Make A Polymer Clay Brooch Or Ring Utilizing A Diamond Burr Set

Over a year ago I met Mitsy. She is a very talented artist from Belgium. She has a unique style that is all her own and that is what I love about her! Today I am thrilled to share with you a tutorial that Mitsy recently published on her ArtMind blog.

I enjoyed Mitsy's tutorial and hope you will too! Mitsy utilized our diamond burr set to create this wonderful clay brooch. Enjoy the tutorial!

Happy 4th Of July!

Summer Fete July 3rd, 2010 - Bloomington, Minnesota

Wow! It is time for Summer Fete 2010 in Bloomington, Minnesota!

This year's fun starts with a carnival, includes two entertainment stages – the Kid's stage and the Main Stage – featuring a great lineup of performers, and as usual, culminates with a fantastic fireworks display just after dusk!

I have lived in Bloomington many years and this is one of my favorite days of the year!

Enjoy!
