thanks for your great feedback on my gocco cards! it was fun to see them sell out so quickly. i made some more, and this batch is less imperfect. i think they're really cheerful.
later today we are going to mugglefest. i have an excited girl who has been dressed as ginny weasley for HOURS waiting for me to get my act in gear so she can hopefully be sorted into gryffindor ('just not slytherin, mom,') and if she's extra-specially lucky she might get to sample some bertie botts beans or take a potions lesson. i can easily get behind this kind of literary geeking out, so it works well for both of us.
i've been busy this week, and instead of picking up the pace and trying to stay organized, i have been drawing more. it helps me relax, but it isn't so great for the overall state of affairs in my house. there is something to be said for feeling happy doing what you love to do, though. 
i will only be around spottily in the next few weeks, but i'll be keeping up with my shop and your blogs at least once a day.
if you are planning on diving into the deathly hallows tomorrow, i clink my cup of coffee at you now and say cheers!
