On Rotation Today: A Fine Frenzy

It's that time of the year now. You know, the one where I sew up a frenzy for wholesale orders and shows, as the holiday orders start to pour in. I'm loving it all! But it's going to require some serious concentration. Well, I found the perfect band to fuel my feverish frenzy-A Fine Frenzy. Perfect name for the perfect inspiration. I love the surface sweetness all mixed in with deep thoughts. It's just the thing to keep me focused on the task at hand. So, if you need me, you can find me with the Bomb in a Birdcage. *don't ya just love that album title too? *wink*

Between the Folds

I got such a kick out of watching this movie with the kids. Between the Folds is a documentary about the art and science of origami.

It is such a treat to find a movie that inspires us all. The light in my kids' eyes after watching this, was phenomenal.

You can check it out here: http://www.greenfusefilms.com/. It's available on DVD and Netflix.
