It involves a 20-pound tabby sleeping on my arm as I type.

    Ha ha, Tabs wants to be a part of the creative process 🙂

    I am so mad, I wanted the Ripe for Love blush so much and of course it’s already sold out 🙁

      Hi Agata,

      Do you live near a counter? You could always call them up and put one on hold before the collection officially launches.

      Happy Thursday!

        I think I will do that. I have a counter at Macy’s relatively close. There is always hope that when Nordstrom launches it I will be able to get it. That’s the item I wanted the most. Now I am hesitating whether to get the Bare my Soul quad or just one of the powerchrome pencils…Ohh decisions, decisions…

          I’ve done that before with both Macy’s and Nordstrom. 🙂 I think you may even be able to pre-pay in some cases.

          You can’t go wrong with either Bare My Soul quad or one of the Powerchromes, but I have to say, I’ve been using the Powerchromes a TON lately and they’re really wonderful. Which color are you thinking about?

            I am thinking about Copper Strip but I really love the swatches of the Polished Jet, I am just afraid it will be too dark for me.

    Hehe, Tabs is feeling a bit left out I think. He’s trying to get your attention. Stop typing, woman, focus on ME! 🙂

    Feeling your pain, my friend. I don’t know how many email responses I send out that start with the disclaimer “I would have gotten back to you sooner, but I had a ‘big-boned’ cat draped across my left arm and couldn’t reach over her to get to the keyboard.”

      I like your choice of words, haha!

      You know what’s even more challenging? Trying to type with a big ol’ cat booty in your face, LOL!

    We have similar work spaces except that mine is covered with 20 lbs of paper and product samples. I’d prefer the sweet tabby. Especially since my only work “pets” are the occasional small jumping spiders. 🙂

    These pictures make me so happy! Tabs is the bomb. We’re going to be adopting a kitty soon and I am SO EXCITED!!! Animals bring a little something extra special to our lives. 🙂
