OT- Uroboros rods... so it went ok

I don't have time to read the NG right now but I hope to catch up
later... all I have to say is HOLY COW!!!

176 pounds of glass. I was up until 3 am getting the website ready. I
woke up at 9, FREAKED OUT, and had to pull everything off the site
because it was selling too fast to keep up with it! Jamilyn (she got all
excited about it too and invested $1000) was getting orders too and then
there were Paypal payments with no website order, so we ended up selling
about twice as many sample packs as we had, and I wanted to make sure we
had enough glass to make them.

We actually got all the orders shipped today! I am dead-dog tired. I ate
two pieces of toast and three fig newtons when I thought I was about to
pass out, and sustained myself on tea. Paulette from SPIglass came by
with the most INCREDIBLE beads, and bought some glass, and then I begged
her to take away some of the scrap glass that's in the garage. It has to
go! I honestly don't have time to ship it, I sold some last year but
it's very time consuming and I just can't. If anyone who likes scrap
sheet glass is going to be at the Gathering (I'm thinking Tink, here)
PLEASE come and relieve me of some of this excess! Anyone else who's in
the area, too... if all goes well that's going to be a construction area
soon and I can't have this stuff in there! It's nice glass, I promise.
And who can beat free?

I guess I no longer have to hide the fact that I actually spent our
entire mortgage payment on glass, now that I've made it back! Moxley
was OK with me doing it... that man is a miracle. He *really* believes
in everything I do. "So you just found this glass on Tuesday, yesterday
you were going to buy some and resell the extra, and now it's Friday and
you want to put every liquid asset we have into it so you can stock it?
Oh, OK honey, if you think it's a good risk." I love him so madly! He
has more confidence in me than I've ever had in myself, and he's taught
me to trust myself and go for it.

Anyway, Jamilyn has gone off to have dinner and we both promised to take
the day off tomorrow. Tonight I'm going through what's left of the glass
and putting it up on the website, and then I'm going to kick back with
a beer and read the NG!

I'm glad I got my order in when I did. LOL Sounds like you were very busy.
I could have waited a day or two until you got the orders out. Geez woman,
try not to kill yourself okay?

Isn't it wonderful to have a partner who totally believes in you? Dan is
such a dear to put up with me and my whims. He is the one that say my
paintings when we moved back to Texas and asked why I wasn't doing it
anymore. Then he found me a master to work with again and didn't bat an eye
at the payments or the setup costs.

YeeeHaw! Nothing like a Glass Rush, eh Kalera? LOL!

As much as I would LOVE to take your extra glass off your hands, I've
opted to go to the Art Glass Invitational this year in lieu of The
Gathering. *sigh*

Thank you though :-)

you're NOT going to Portland, Tink???????????

I had to choose, and The Gathering lost out in favor of the Art Glass
Invitational. I'm more of a glass person than a bead person, per se.
Plus the fact I'll be teaching/demoing at AGI alongside some of my
idols (Mickelsen, Townsend, etc). Not to mention that AGI will be a
lot kinder to my budget than The Gathering would have been.

AGI offers me the kind of classes I'm looking for, too. It's just the
place I need to be...

Hi all - This is my first time to this group. I just have to say how
glad I am that this glass has gone over well - I think you'll all like
it as much as we do I hope to post here more often.

WOW!! I'm definitely going to get some - but I'm going to hold off ordering
until I get settled in AZ.

I also found out that Southwest Airlines has flights between Tucson and
Portland so I might get to make it up that way.
