I am sure this is how I am going to be looking by the end of Thursday. Today is the day I start migrating our on-premise SharePoint sites to a Cloud environment.
This has been a two year project, but I really started working on it this past February. This is when we started working with consultants to help me move the two hardest sites we had. There were just things on the sites I did not know how to migrate or start a new numbering system on. So, I was able to hire consultants to help with that.
Everything else I created (with lots of help with the committee that was put together). Those people, on the committee, were a joy to work with. I could not have done, or completed, this project without them. It is so great when you can get a group of people together and the ideas just fly!!! I love the collaboration that came from this committee!
This has been one big learner experience for me and I have loved it (for the most part). It has been awesome - I have at least learned something new each day.
So, before the launch starts today - I took last week off to de-stress. Of course it wasn't a relaxing week - a lot was done.
I know I keep saying I will start back to blogging - but it has been difficult. I just haven't had the heart to sit down and type things out. Maybe set a goal of one post a week, and if I do more, it is a plus.
This is a long post with lots of pictures.

| Where we will work on sawing out pieces |
One of the projects mom wanted to work on was cleaning up the computer room.
Mom wanted to re-paint the walls and then put up our pictures we just had framed. We also wanted to take out the extra furniture we weren't using.
Both mom and I are really happy with the new look and it has so much more space! Mom says she isn't freaked out now when she walks into the room.
Once we finished the computer room - I got out all of our inventory that I have not taken pictures of so that I could start listing on
Etsy.
For me - I listed A LOT!
The above photos were taken by my nephew Skyler. He also is learning how to edit the photos and make them fun. So, I have 10 of his metal prints in our
Etsy store. Both mom and I are really proud of him.
These are our hand stamped copper key chains. We saw out the square and then I hand stamp the sayings on the copper. I then use a hammer to texture a few of the pieces or I hammer the copper on our garage to put texture on the copper. Then the copper is soaked in Liver of Sulfur and sanded. Then it is sprayed with a lacquer to stop the patina. Mom then makes the tassels from faux suede and assembles it all. I think mom and I have the most fun coming up with the sayings. We even have had friends give us ideas.
These are just some of the new handsawed out and enameled pendants that I have listed in the
Etsy shop. I still need to work on the double-sided pendants and get them edited and then listed. I just need to take it slowly.
I also listed new "Photo Dog Tags". These are photos (and my nephew's photos) that have been infused into aluminum. They are listed with the other dog tags in the
Etsy shop.

Not for sale - dandelion enameled copper bar on faux leather bracelet

I have just started making these enameled copper bracelet bars and attaching them to faux leather bracelets that are adjustable. The dandelion bracelet bar is for me - plus I wanted to test wear these bracelets to make sure they would hold up. I figure if they last with me anyone can wear them. I have the two listed in the shop now and I have several in the works.
Today I took photos of our enameled copper earrings. I now have to go through them all, pick the best photos, edit the photos and then list in our
Etsy shop. That will take a while, but I will get it done.
I will try and do better on the blogging - plus I have to share with you if I survive the following week of migration. I am being positive. Everything is in place - I just have to redirect everyone to the sites and give them the directions. Of course that means that people actual have to read the directions first. But I am being positive!
