Trying to play catch-up, but I keep landing on the Sidetrack Express. Sidetracking instead of working… something in the paper caught my eye. I took it as a sign…
and then I declared it Staff Appreciation Day!
Be good to your “staff” too! Seriously.

Yep you gotta look after your staff… and did you give your staff a bonus as well???
March 17th, 2008I will be good to my staff today (namely ME!) and give myself an easy day to get over my cold.
March 17th, 2008From my neck up, I have something wrong.
Does your zodiac thing mean you are a Leo too?
Me too. That zodiac meaning is so me…..
I love that swell fabric. I’ve been eying a Jelly roll myself.
March 17th, 2008Love it!
March 17th, 2008Naturally I’m self indulgent! I love that Swell fabric.
March 17th, 2008I, too, am a Leo. I really like that horoscope!
March 17th, 2008Yep, your staff deserves that and more! :) I’m treating the cleaning fairy (who did a mighty fine job on the house today) to going to bed right now at 9:23. :) nice.
March 17th, 2008Okee Dokey!!! I believe my staff and I would like a day off (with pay) , and some Godiva chocolate!…and then an all expense paid trip to some fun quilt shops !….oh, and I think a cleaning lady, and then a makeover day with Stacy and what’s his name… Clinton? from “What Not to Wear” (only they don’t make fun of my current wardrobe and hairdo…) WOW ! I’m really a nice boss to my staff!!
March 17th, 2008That fabric is gorgeous! And I believe every day should be staff appreciation day: )
March 17th, 2008Dude. I have NEVER seen a better horoscope. Seriously. Lucky you! I’d blow that sucker up and frame it. AND, that was THE very jelly roll I’ve been planning to post on my blog for OH…five days now. Urgh. Will we EVER get ‘caught up’?
March 17th, 2008I’ve been getting nothing but slack from my staff lately. They think I’m not giving them props for sticking with this crazy diet. They’re trying to impeach the CEO. It’s getting ugly by the nanosecond.
Oh SWELL! Love that fabric collection.
March 17th, 2008Your staff deserves it! Enjoy it, Zomb!
March 18th, 2008I love the Swell fabrics… I just made a little baby quilt for a friend, and am seriously considering buying more fabric to make another quilt for myself!
March 18th, 2008Now, that is a swell idea. (Yes, I crack my self up. Yes, I am still waking up.)
March 18th, 2008I’ve been trying to spoil “the staff” lately. Too bad she can’t find time to get back to work! LOL!
March 18th, 2008I like how you’re thinking! I bought my staff a new company car this past weekend….
March 18th, 2008What a cute post! I am my “staff” so today I’m treating myself to a lovely cup of tea and Strawberry Meringue Cookies I made this morning. I think that will be a wonderful way to celebrate this beautiful day.
March 18th, 2008I think I will buy the staff some more chocolate.
March 18th, 2008That seems to be what staff enjoys most!!! Love swell!!!
Wow. Lucky staff. I had to write mine up for insubordination! All this daydreaming and blog surfing at work, and then I caught one of them, the leader, mind you, hitting up the quilt shop on her lunch hour, allegedly for “just a quarter yard for binding” but then grabbing the UPS man on the way in and making the shop owner open the package, and begging four yards of some quiltilicious fabric that had not even been unpacked yet. . . ah, you just cannot get good help these days.
I acquired a swell jelly roll on my shop hop, and am toying with several ideas. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. BTW, I was inspired by your summer 2007 cover quilt and made a fun one with a Mary Engelbreit charm pack from the same shop hop.
March 18th, 2008Glad you take care of your staff! I’ve got a little fabric envy!! I LOVE that Swell!!! hugs to you!!!
March 18th, 2008Your boss ROCKS! Any job openings?
Debbie
March 18th, 2008Wow! Interesting article Monica;) Does it mean that you are a Leo too? Or, all your staff within Leo sign? Me? I am a ’strong’ Leo:) Leo people are gorgeous in one word, that I can say this fact easily. I am an engineer, but I am enough capable one in a few areas rather than my business, thanks God, I pray for each other day.
Have a creative day, Warm Greetings from Ist’l:)

March 19th, 2008I love the newspaper clipping! Too fun!
Have a great day!
March 19th, 2008What a genius idea…I’m off to do some clicking and Shopping! LOL!
March 19th, 2008With those kinds of fringe benefits — can I be on your staff too ??!!?
March 19th, 2008What? no gab about Adam’s dancing? What gives?
March 19th, 2008Don’t you love Swell? I made a purse out of a couple of the pieces. I’m having trouble parting with it, but I need to. It’s a gift. Oh well, your blog has given me permission to treat myself to a little more fabric therapy. I’m feeling better already!
March 19th, 2008Monica, Monica, Monica!!!!!!
March 20th, 2008Where have you been? Out shopping again? Leaving Mimi at home with the dogs? What about me, huh? Don’t you miss me, just a little? I thought we’d be BFF’s until death, but now, I’m not so sure. I’m like last weeks newspaper, all wrinkled up and not folded quite right, finally wet with coffee grounds stuffed down in the compost pile out back….oh, whatever! You are giving me carpal tunnel trying to get down here so I can comment…I never get any comments…well, maybe one or 12 but never as many as you, miss big shot…oh, stomp, stomp. Did you save any bagels for me? I’m leaving. I’m going back to my blog to pout. At least LOST is on tonight to console my broken heart. mmph! BFF….
Can I be part of your staff?????????? PLEEZZEEEEEE
March 20th, 2008what a kool site! the bagels were great. yeah… lisa is da bomb! i remember when her and clayton and grayson (gosh…he was about 2 or 3) when they first moved to kauai…and then they left and then they came back. i left last may after 35 years…only miss my quilting pals and my son and grand daughter. i loved the bit about the bags. my younger sister is a real bag freak but she calls them “beags”…not just cloth, but plastic, paper…no beag is safe around her but she’ll find a loving spot for it somewhere in her place.
March 20th, 2008You are so funny! I think every day should be staff appreciation day!!
March 20th, 2008I think I would get better treatment working for you than I would working for myself.
Need some extra staff?
March 21st, 2008PS I can tell there’s already a lot of competition for this advantageous non-existent position.
March 21st, 2008Ah, yes! I’m a Leo too, and I’m ALWAYS kind to my “staff.” In fact, just the other night I gave the cook the night off, and I sent my home decorator to the quilt shop yesterday and today with my credit card and instructions to buy whatever she liked, within reason. I DO think I’m going to need to crack the whip with my personal groomer and my housekeeper soon though. But I’m sure I’ll adequately reward them for their efforts. Who says horoscopes aren’t real?!
March 21st, 2008Ah yes, having a “staff” - that would mean cloning myself, and that’s a really scary thought!! I didn’t know you were a Leo! Leo’s are some of my favorite peoples, so no wonder I like you soooooo much!! You are SWELL, just like your fabric. (Love the fabric, by the by!)
March 22nd, 2008Hey- you know I was teasing you right??!!
March 22nd, 2008I have been so up to my elbows in glue and thread that I haven’t been reading many blogs-
just treading water trying to stay current with mine-
I love this new jelly roll-
I saw so many new books last night at Barnes and Nobles! I want to make everything!!!
I have never done a quilt from the Denyse Schmidt book and I would love to get some jelly rolls to play with-
What do you think about this season of LOST?
It is all about Ben isn’t it???
Have a Happy Easter, sweet Zombie Girl-
Diary of the Dead comes to DVD in May-
I can hardly wait!
Sorry so random-
just catching up-
love and stitches xxxooo

That rocks… & thankfully I’m a Leo too! :)
March 22nd, 2008Hmmmmm…I am a Leo, too! But, alas, have no staff but me. What is a girl to do?
March 22nd, 2008I’d just found your blog and I have to say that I love it. You make wonderful things and your fabrics…are very beautiful. Congratulations for your job. Have a nice day. One kiss from Spain
March 24th, 2008I’d be sure to give your staff a good raise, frequently!
March 24th, 2008What a great idea! I will hurry up and treat myself to something nice tomorrow ;-)
March 25th, 2008I’ve also treated myself to a blog! So come visit some day!
