Holiday Rush and Party Preparations {part 1}

Oh how I wish I had a few extra hours each day in October.  Actually, can I just request some extra days in October?  I have been so fortunate to receive a multitude of orders from my Etsy shop but it comes at a time that I am also trying to focus on planning my daughters birthday party.  If you haven't heard, it's her 1st one!  In other words, it must be spectacular.  I also need to prepare for the holiday rush in my shop.  So I had to put a notice in my shop that all orders for the remainder of October will not be shipped until the very end of October.  Very sad about this, but I need it! I am also in need of an organization day.  Preferably a week but, you know, I'm short on days this month.  Below is a corner of my studio at it's current state.  And this isn't even bad.  See those empty shelves?  They used to house scrapping {crap} that has been sitting there forever that I am finally getting rid of.  I never use it!  Those shelves are prime location and I need to fill them with things I love and use every day.  So I am prepping my studio for the holiday rush and making party decor {which needs to be done in a week and a half!}.

{Yes that is a glimpse of a very old television on the right.}

And of course I have to share all the scrumptiousness I received in the mail to decorate for said spectacular birthday party.  This picture only shows a quarter of what I'm using.  Can't wait to post pictures of the final product {think garlands, banners, food signs and decor, yay!}.  Oh and I of course must make a mini album of her party.  *Sigh*  Do you think I can get all this done in the next week and a half?  Oh come on.  Have a little faith {someone needs to}!

Wish me luck!
