I'm serious. I'm done with seating charts forevermore! Now that we got that warm welcome out of the way, let me explain - I haven't crafted - truly crafted - in months. What I mean by that is, I haven't made something that someone is paying for and carries a big sense of responsibility for …
As you may remember from this post in the beginning of the year, I have the opportunity to be the Hannah Montana of Corporate America and crafting, because I work on corporate matters during the day, and I get to bring in my crafting life to corporate at night. My old SAP colleagues love to …
