Houston - We have lift off!

What a week this has been! Two magazines, two deadlines and both are at the same time. (Whose idea what that?!) Earlier this week I went over to the publishing office where I had 2 magazines to look over. I bounced back and forth from one designer to the next. Suzanne has been laying out Oliver Heritage for a while so she's got the hang of it. I wasn't too worried about her, but Heritage Iron is a different story. It's brand new and we had to completely build the magazine. My page designer, Jason, did a phenomenal job. He understood exactly what look I was trying to convey with this magazine and he nailed it! We had a blast!

The magazine has been uploaded to the printers and is now out of our hands. All we can do is pace the floor until the USPS gets their hands on it December 1.

It's that time of the year again. That means if I'm going outside to run or do anything, I had better be wearing a bright orange vest or I'll be taking my life into my own hands. I have a big picture window in my living room and it looks out over my pond. There has been a big buck running around out there every day this week. I expect he'll be hiding tomorrow though.

Next week is the big antique tractor auction in Taylorville, IL. Since that's only 20 miles from me, it's a "must". If you've never been to this auction, you really should go at least once. But be forewarned - dress for the cold! Maybe I'll see you there.
