Andddd... we're off!

It's been an insane last few days to say the least. Jon threw me a surprise 40th b-day party on Saturday and I did not suspect at thing. Even the kids kept it well hidden... so much behind-the-scenes planning and scheming! I thought I was coming back to the office to work on my Surtex art boards but when I glanced in the windows there was like 30 or 40 people inside waving and smiling. WOW... it was so cool (and super sweet)! Jon took this pic of me as I drove up... my mouth agape as my friend, Nikki (the crazy camera strap girl) points and screams! haha

surprise

Of course, it put me way behind on work so I had to spend all of Mother's Day printing and assembling my boards. But that's OK, like I said last night on Twitter, I love my job and wouldn't trade this craziness for anything in the world.

Before I get too deep into my post I wanted to thank all of you who commented on our ribbon release (we are so excited about it!!) and announce the contest winners. The randomizer picked #7 and #109 out of 199 comments...

  6. Happy 40th! Like I've said before....I can not imagine how you ever get any sleep. You design fabrics, create patterns, sew, photograph your own products, do your own graphic design & on top of that are a mother & wife....& attend trade shows too. phew! Tell John he'll now have to film all this creative chaos so we can enjoy a Patty Young reality show. You can call it "Behind the Seams" with Patty Young. :)
