Off to the cabin we go….
I am off for the weekend!
My family has a fabulous Cabin in Blue Ridge, GA (North Georgia) and we are driving up for a nice relaxing weekend! I will be thinking of you all as I am snuggled up by the fire!
I worked along side the architect in helping my partents design the cabin & did the interior as well!
(Don’t worry, I have a degree in Interior Design!!)

Calling Cards
I’ve mentioned before that I do a lot of custom work, and I thought in the spirit of the giveaway that I would show you one of the most recent custom calling card I custom designed.
I love the theme of all things word related: handwriting scribbles, typewriter type, & label maker tape!
And of course if you are in need of a fabulous custom designed calling card e-mail me!

Oh No…SPAM – {UPDATE!!!}
Okay, No worries… I contacted the e-mail provider.
Everything is now fine and fixed.
I apologize if you got the e-mail.
As far as I know only one person got it (my dad) so it is all under controll!!
Thank you & again sorry for the inconvenience.
You can now open all my lovely messages I send you!
xoxo

Oh No …. Spam!
PLEASE DO NOT OPEN
an e-mail from me that says:
“Sorry I didn’t inform you of my travels”
that e-mail is not from me!
I think that a spammer out there is using my email to send out spam!
I apologize for the inconvenience…
I will get to the bottom of this!
And please don’t worry, it is NOT a virus… just a spam e-mail.

Business Calls
I know alot of you are “Work at Home Moms” and do a lot of communication with other colleges via e-mail and phone. So I was looking for some helpful etiquette tips for you and came accross an article on Business Calls for the working mom.
Work-at-home moms often have to make business calls to potential clients and colleagues. Remember that the impression you make rests entirely on your voice and choice of words, not your appearance. This makes it all the more important to sound personable and professional.
I recommend following the cues of the person with whom you’re speaking. If they are no-nonsense and all business, you be the same.
Here are some fatal faux pas during a business call:
Don’t eat on the phone, even a cough drop or gum can makes its presence known.
Don’t repeatedly address a business associate by his/her first name, as it can sound insincere and patronizing.
Try to arrange calls when the children will be out, napping or occupied.
