It's been a long week... I'm at about 80% after having been sick for the first four days of the week, and - more than anything - I'm just really anxious to get back on track with some amazing projects that are on my plate: some that I've been working on for a while; others that are brand-new and just in the beginning stages.

More than likely I will be putting in some serious studio hours this weekend to get caught up, but first, I thought I'd share a few things that are helping to get me through to the official end of the work week:

- This Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining print (top image), from the Keep Calm Gallery, is perfect for those frustrating days (or weeks) when everything seems a bit too much to handle...

- These great rainbow stairs (above) by artist Jim Lambie via Happy Cavalier...

- OrangeBeautiful's new (but empty) online shop at Supermarket... it may be a couple of weeks before we get this new shop up & running, but we'll be sure to keep you posted. I'm excited just thinking about it...

- the 22,000+ custom-converted envelopes that arrived in our studio yesterday... don't worry, they're not for a mailing - but they are for our new B&W line of greeting cards (which you got a little sneak peek of a few weeks back ;)

- and last, but certainly not least, I want to say thank you to B (that's her on the right) who has kept me positive & productive all week (and for the last 6 months)... you're the BEST.

I hope everyone has a restful weekend (and thanks to everyone for the sweet birthday wishes this week!)... and we'll be back on Monday rested & ready for more!
