Lilac Creative

I normally don't post personal stuff on the Lilac Creative design blog, but some stuff has come up in my personal life that is affecting my work schedule, so I just wanted to give a brief "what's up with me" for anyone who's been wondering. 

The week before last, my husband (who is an officer in the Navy Reserves) received orders to Iraq. While we were prepared for the possibility of him getting called up for active duty, the reality is quite a different thing. Mentally (and spiritually) we are ready to do this, but there are a kajillion practical things that we need to get taken care of before he leaves in two months. I'm doing my absolute best to stay on top of my work schedule, but I am finding these "practical things that need taking care of" spilling into my day and eating up time that would otherwise be devoted to my clients' projects. I am in touch regularly with my clients whose projects are active right now, and if you have a project scheduled with me, it will start on time. If you're a client with a completed project who has contacted me with a question or a tweak, I will get to you--I promise! I am just a bit slow on non-essential emails right now, trying to prioritize stuff and get everything done. Trust me, I would much rather be helping my clients and designing pretty web pages, than sorting through banking stuff, looking over powers-of-attorney blah-blah-blah, etc.!

So, please bear with me the next month or so, as I try to get A LOT done in a very short amount of time. Like my husband always says, there's only one way to eat an elephant: one bite at a time!
