Thank goodness it's Friday

Yes! I really need the weekend! This has been a very long week, and now I am having problems with my e-mail server! As you may know, I just sent out my Prindle Mountain Primitives newsletter. I plan to have one of these monthly, instead of sporadically like I have in the past. I have around 750 people on my mailing list, but my server (MSN) only lets me send out 300 e-mails per day. So, I send out half, and then more the next day, and so on. The first batch went out fine, but the batch I sent out last night was missing the attachment, which is the newsletter! Frustrating! To make matters worse, I can't resend the mass e-mail with the newsletter until tomorrow! Does anyone know a better way to send mass e-mails!?!

The weekend is coming! Yay!

Prim blessings,

Just a little complaining!

Oh wow! Got a phone call at 2:30 a.m. from someone wanting to order a catalog! Glad I didn't even hear the phone and saw the answering machine blinking this morning! I advertise in Country Sampler, and get some early morning phone calls from the east coast once in a while (no...I'm not in Washington D.C. - it's Washington STATE....the west coast.....three hours earlier than the east coast!), but nothing like 2:30 a.m.! You'd think that when the answering machine says "you've reached the Johnsons.....blah, blah, blah", they'd realize this is a home business! My customers are really awesome, though, and I'm just complaining a little bit about this one because she obviously doesn't have the internet so she won't know it! (Those are the ones who call instead of e-mail).

I don't even have a catalog....just a brochure with a handful of items.......

Okay. I'm done grumbling now! :)

On another note, I'm starting a new venture today! I've been asked to make some bridal veils for a shop. Never done anything like that before, and it's definitely not a primitive craft (can you imagine a coffee-stained veil!?! Ha!), but with four daughters, I'm sure it'll come in handy eventually!

Happy Sunday!
