Creating Time Mega Book Launch!

I've been so busy, but then again haven't we all! That is no excuse for being such a bad blogger but today of all days and in the vein of making the most of your time (and to focus on a much happier topic than tax day) I had to post about this wonderful new book which launches today and which I am a contributor to!!!! Yay!!!! I have been a part of Artella for over six years now as their Artistic Admin Alchemist! I am so happy to be even a teeny tiny part of this amazing book and I will definitely be devoting some of my time in the coming days to spend poring over this gorgeous book! I'm hoping I'll be able to do a giveaway of this book at some point down the road but in the meantime order a copy TODAY as there are all sorts of wonderful Artella goodies ($125 worth) you'll get for FREE if you order today!!!!!

Creating Time: Using Creativity to Reinvent the Clock and Reclaim Your Life by Marney K. Makridakis turns the concept of time management upside-down and creatively shows you that you do have all the time you need and can create a rich new experience with time that consistently supports you. You can order from any online bookseller any time this week and get an awe-inspiring bundle of time-expanding bonuses, and if you order Today, April 17 only, you’ll also get over $125 worth of Artella merchandise. Isn’t it time for a new kind of time? Go here to order and get your goodies!

my Christmas wish list begins

On our weekly visit to Barnes & Noble, I was heard squealing with delight when I saw this book on the shelves! My hubby knows how much I want this for Christmas as I love Mad Men and this book takes a light-hearted and so funny look at a pretty dark and serious show. It's brilliant! Then I went to the Mad Men site at AMC and "avatared" myself Mad Men style. Here's me with the gang at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce!

This is the minuscule pile of books that was my traveling companion to The Creative Connection Event. This little, light stack of hardboard and paper necessitated it's very own bag to Minneapolis. While others were purchasing their books at the Barnes and Noble booth at the conference site, I brought all these books that have graced my bookshelves for years and are now graced by the greetings and autographs of all my "she"roes! Though I did not have the books of all 30 or so authors at the event, this was quite enough for me! I think any more would have necessitated back surgery on my part following the conference! You'll also notice that Amy Butler's books are at the very top of the stack!
