So I’m a Virgo, an apparently we like this just so (me? no!). Well I love the vertical paper storage by Cropper Hopper. I switched all my cardstock over to it months ago and just thought it was ever so pretty (plus I had so much it didn’t fit in my old bins). Well Angela and I went together and got a bunch of the Doodlebug Bazzill. When I got that I also got another paper holder. To my dismay they had changed the design slightly. Well when my holders were all lined up now they looked lame! So Sue had one of the older models and agreed to trade with me. I spent a very happy morning this morning reorganizing my paper into a rainbow of perfection!  Thank you so much Sue! And doesn’t it look pretty sitting on my desk (also I love this picture because if you went by this you would think my room was really clean, and it’s really not).

I forgot I took a couple photos at Bj’s going away lunch yesterday so I was laughing my head off when I uploaded these into iPhoto. Some one said, “Josh feed Bj,” so of course he did. Those guys are such goofs. See Bj’s still kind of pink from when they put the sombrero on him to sing Happy Birthday (His birthday is really just about a month away, but what the heck, right), and I love it when he blushes! I am going to go work on my side bar (over there ⇒). I already updated my about me a tiny bit, but I am going to update my playlist. Peace.

So today was Bj’s last day at I Remember When. I am so proud of him for all of the great work that he has done there. I know we will miss all of the consultants that we loved so much (I left IRW in mid-December). It’s weird to be in this place in your life where things are always changing and friends are all doing different things (from hiking volcanoes to studying in Italy to starting their careers). I don’t think there is any right path or anything like that, but I know looking for a “grown up job” with benefits and everything seems like the right thing for Bj to do and I really support him in that. For me the right thing to do now is start my own company. I watched my dad work crazy hours and saw all the cool rewards to doing that (great employees and awesome projects). I had my mom always helping me to be as creative as possible, and for that I am truly thankful.

I think I have found the perfect combination of those two things in starting my company, The Ribbon Jar. I am going to be selling very pretty ribbon and trim. I couldn’t find this stuff anywhere when I wanted it so I decided that the world needs a Ribbon Jar. The ribbon is fun, funky, colorful, and exquisite, nothing you’d find on any normal store shelf. I also have really cool fabric strips from vintage to silk, and trims. I hope everyone is as excited as I am. And for all of my friends who are getting married I am offering a custom ribbon matching program so that people who like things just so like me can get everything to coordinate on their special day.

Right now the site just says coming soon, but it will be up in a few weeks or so. That jar on the left is my logo, I drew it so tell me what you think, actually tell me what you think of the whole idea, you know I love comments!
