I really should


I really should be working now but my head is not screwed on right at the moment.

I really should focus and zero in on what needs to get done.


I really should bear my responsibilities like the adult I am (I think?) even though all I really want to do now is snuggle in bed with hot chicken soup and read Stardust for the umpteenth time.

I really should just count my blessings, get organized and plunge into the mountainous pile of work that awaits me with gusto for I know once I'm done, I'll have a nice glowy feeling of accomplishment.

Ugh. I hate Mondays.

Expectations

2008 has been pretty good so far. Exciting even. I have a few things in the works and am keeping busy with my multitude of plans plus a pretty busy work schedule (yes, I have a full time job too!). More will be revealed soon... when I'm ready.

Before logging off to work on aforementioned plans, thought I'd share with you (oh silent blog reader) some pictures of my new packaging which was borne out of necessity. Pos Malaysia's bubble envelopes are kinda ugly I'm afraid, so much so that I've had to "mask" them with wrapping paper. Thank God for adhesive spray. That stuff is genius I tell you! The accessories are individually wrapped with colored tissue paper and finished off with little ribbon bows. I then pack everything in an organza bag with a simple handmade thank you card (which I sometimes include a little extra something for large orders). This all then goes into the "masked" bubble envelope.

Why so much trouble for packaging?? Because I love you, my dear customers (how's that for buttering you up? Hehehe). Well honestly, I buy a lot online and I love, love, loooove receiving pretty parcels with lots of colorful paper and ribbons. It may be a girl thing, I don't know, but anything beautifully wrapped never fails to increase the pleasure factor for me, what more for my customers right? Anyways, I like having an excuse to shop for pretty packaging. So there.
