{Photo courtesy of sodahead.com} Well.... It is Tuesday afternoon, now past the time we would have gotten any UPS deliveries for the day.... No magazines. I PROMISE...  the minute they arrive,  we'll be all over them to get them  disbursed back out to all our pre-order customers. But, can't do a thing until our replacement issues arrive, so remember how on the   previous post telling you about the shipping mix-up (Danish text received instead of English) I was all about turning those lemons into lemonade? Well... Since we're still waiting, and it's kind of like a few more lemons. How about PIE?? Anyone up for lemon pie? (wink-wink) All kidding aside, I am as anxious as all of you to get my hands on the ENGLISH version of the  magazines so that  YOU  can get YOUR  hands on them. Now... let's pass our plates and HAVE SOME PIE! {Photo courtesy of Bon Appetit} :) {Goodness gracious that slice looks GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT!} Thanks so much for your pat...

When we last "spoke" I was in the midst of making lemonade and it was SOOO cool and refreshing.   Thanks for joining me in that.   Now it is late Sunday evening and I'm thinking of a few things I want to  share with  you before I get caught up in the week's "black hole" as sometimes happens. First, I got THREE blog awards, people!   WOW! Who's happier than me??   NOBODY! I am feelin' the love big time here!   :) I got this bright, cheery  "Sunshine" award from  Robin King of Robin King Designs AND from Deb Kennedy of Hummadeedledee Big, Big thanks to you BOTH!!! Please be sure and visit both their sites -- you'll be amazed and so happy your discovered them  (if you haven't already!). I also got this  "Sugar Doll" award from my sweet friend  Teresa Lee of Dreaming In Pink With Roses I just love Teresa -- she and I have a friendship that started with us visiting each other's blogs, and her being a customer, and th...

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Jeanne d'Arc Living Issue #2 (A.K.A. Would you like some lemonade?)

So.... Less than 24 hours ago... I jotted out a quickie post to let you know that the new issues of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine had just hit our doorstep (literally). My how things can change while you're sleeping... So here's the deal: I awoke to an email from the good folks at  Jeanne d'Arc Living... Here's what it said: Did you receive your magazines yet?? It seems that something went wrong when the freight company packed the magazines, so that many of the US shops received the Danish issue.  Please let me know if yours are correct. Have a nice week-end. Mange hilsner | Kind  regards I read the email at about 6:30 AM and immediately fled over to the office where the cases were sitting waiting to be opened and mailed out today... Yep... every last box... Kan du sige Dansk? ? {Can you say "Danish"?} The good news is, I think they have already mailed out replacement cases for us and we should have them possibly as soon as Monday. That's not too big of...
