I am pretty much exhausted. This trip wore me out - I think because there really was no downtime. Our trip was planned out it seemed by every minute. We attended a wedding of a family member on my mom’s side in Omaha in case you were wondering. Friday evening when we got in, we had about an hour to shower and change before dinner at the groom’s parent’s house. Saturday was the wedding and reception. Sunday we went downtown with our cousins for lunch and to walk around the marketplace. After that, Jake and I headed to Nebraska Furtniture Mart to oogle over the electronics. Then, it was another dinner. We had to get up really early on Monday to drive back - so I could make it to pick up Jack & Daisy before they closed.
Our hotel was pretty janky. We have always stayed at this one hotel since I was a little kid. Everything was bad. I won’t even go into the details, but we probably can safely say we won’t stay there again.
I was happy to get back, but I crashed right after dinner. Then, was up today working on the Pink Ink Studios website. WE FINALLY got it back open!!! I think I might get back to regular work tomorrow if I can.
I was really glad to see Jack & Daisy. They missed us for sure. I felt so guilty for putting them in the kennel.
Before I left, I managed to put up an extra kit at Inspiration Lane. It’s called Bliss. You can actually get the kit, or the quickpage shown below. I even made a little “blog set” that you can buy to decorate your blog with.

It’s been fun doing some designing, but really only happened this time because I was so busy FTP’ing all my Pink Ink Studios files back and that left me with plenty of design time. I have been asked to stay on with them, being encouraged actually. I don’t know. I guess I wonder what everyone thinks. I mean, it isn’t like I have time to design like I used to, but I’d have to commit to more regular digital designing. I’m not sure if I can pull that off with everything else. Thoughts? At least I wouldn’t have to manage the store this time! Lots of pros and cons to consider.
I also started reading the Stephenie Meyers books, and am reading Twilight. I’ve heard so much about it, so here I go! You know that if me, a person with ADHD and not really able to concentrate on reading much is into it, then it must be pretty good. Don’t tell me anything that happens!
Here’s a picture my cousin took at the reception this weekend of me, Andrea and Jake.

Aww! I love that picture of you guys!! So cute!! Scrap it now!! LOL
Oh please please please stay on at Inspiration Lane!! I miss all your digi goods, and like you said, you wouldn’t need to manage the store so I think it would be a lot better expierence and more laid back.
My dad lives in Omaha, I’ll actually be there in October for one of my best friend’s wedding.
Sorry about the yucky hotel, that’s no fun!
Do you even have to ask?! OF COURSE I think you should keep designing at Inspiration Lane
It’s perfect: you design, we buy, and Inspiration Lane handles admin. Paradise!!! 
You definitely must stay Holly! The digital world has gone too long without your designs.
HOw did little Daisy do with her kenneling?
I say design when you want, that way it gives them something to look forward to when you do, not expect.
First off…I IMMEDIATELY purchased your kit and a few other things when I saw them at Inspiration Lane…LOVED them!! Second, I loved the Twilight series and was instantly hooked-I’m glad that you are reading it and like it! (such an addictive book!)
Holly I would love to have you stay at Inspiration Lane! I think your designs just rock…so fresh, so funky, so whimsical! I love all that you have in the store. I will be so sad if you leave…
