I quit!

I have resigned as a graphic designer for Hallmark Cards, Inc. and yesterday was my last day after six years and eight months of service.

Me and my 5-year Hallmark pin, August 2010.

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF ME GOING FULL-TIME AS A SELF-EMPLOYED ENTREPRENEUR!

Hallmark was my 3rd job during my 13 year career as a professional graphic designer. And it's been the best job (besides my job as a Starbucks barista). After years of talk and months of planning I still can't believe that I've taken the leap out on my own!

There has been a lot of things have been going on here at Dirty Laundry.

• TrendBoost - still getting things moving on my new trend blog. But watch for more weekly posts and daily tweets soon!

• A new cupcake bath fizzie partnership with a skin care company in Singapore.

• Ric Rac Roundup craft show - June 3

• Sponsor of BLOG BUZZ BIZ - June 4

• Sponsor of West 18th Street Fashion show - June 9

• Dirty Laundry is a new member of The Artisian Group, providing handcrafted products to celebrities. My 1st project is to gift celebrity Trista Sutter of The Bachelorette, Season 2.

• Kansas City Maker Faire - June 23-24

• Publishing How to be a Craft Show Genius and How to Boost Your Biz with TrendBoost.

• Planning two exclusive shopping events for my group, the KC Blogger Meetup group.

• And more...

My husband and I are moving to Miami in August!

Yes. We're taking the plunge to move to a place to better his professional DJ career (and live it up in the sun).

SO MANY THINGS TO DO! My plans on catching up with my 5000+ blog posts in Google Reader will have to wait.

Flowers from my co-workers on my last day of work.

I don't feel like I'm leaving my co-workers and Kansas City behind. There is FaceBook and this blog to keep us connected.

So stay tuned for my regular blog posts and MORE!
