Where has the time gone?

WOW--I have be neglecting my blog! Has it really been 2 months since I posted?!? I'm sorry! I don't even know where to begin...The summer has been busy and it is flying by. I've been doing a few craft shows, working on several custom orders and wholesale orders, participated in a project w/ Lark Books, went to New York for a quick get away and had several family adventures. More detailed info to follow on much of this soon...in the meantime I will leave you with these amazing images...

Have I mentioned that my little brother, Dirk Miller, is a Rock Star? Well, he is! He has played with many bands, done studio work, roadie work and is currently playing with Rusted Root. I am going to see him play live for the first time in 9 years (Sad, isn't it? Unfortunately, we live far apart...) tonight in Greenville, SC at the Handlebar. I'm super excited and soooo proud of him!

Check out Rusted Root's tour schedule here. And their new video (which my bro is in!) here.

New Bike

Last week was my birthday and this was my present...a Trek 7000 WSD! Isn't she pretty?! I have been wanting a bike for a while now...something I can ride to the post office and UPS instead of being lazy and driving. It's been a LONG time since I've ridden and I am eager to ease my aging bones into better shape. Thanks, Ben! Now I am in search of the perfect messenger bag to hold all my packages...

singing in my head...

I woke up with this song in my head and I thought I would share...

Blog TAG!

*sigh* It was just a matter of time...
*sigh* I've seen it happen to others...
*sigh* Now it has happened to me too...

I have been tagged by Chris Parry!

Here's how this works: THE RULES:*

*Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
*Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their name as well as links to their blog.
* Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here are my seven facts.....
1. I bite my nails.
2. I like to eat raw potatoes sprinkled with salt.
3. I'm a little bit of a sci-fi geek.
4. I've been in business for 13 years and still sometimes feel like a newbie.
5. I have fired an employee and I felt both regret and joy at the same time.
6. My brother is a ROCK STAR but I have absolutely no musical or vocal capabilities.
7. When necessary, I don't mind peeing outside but I will not sleep outside!

Did you learn something about me?!?
My turn to tag! Here are my victims...er, um...I mean picks:

Timothy Adam
Ashley Akers
Beth Cyr
Cindy Edelstein (aka Jewelry Business Guru)
Julie Morrison (aka MAJESTY inc)
Tiffaney Springer (aka Evermore Soap Factory)
Amy Tavern

It's your choice, play or don't...but please, don't be shy!

Although this is pure silliness, it really is a good way to market your blog...

Everyday is Halloween

Just for fun....
This was one of my fave songs long ago...
Although this video is a fake...the music and the video do not match...It takes me back to my new wave/goth girl high school daze...


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
