Thousands of lampshades

Besides finding a new office, finding new homes for everyone in the office, moving all our homes and the office, and designing new handicrafts, we also had a huges order of lampshades for Ten Thousand Villages to produce. It was quite a process to make sure that the paper was correct and clean, the frames were painted, the paper was folded on the right side, and the lampshades were cut in a straight line. Then just when everything was correct there was the labeling and packaging before the lampshades were shipped off to Dhaka.

Are you in charge of all of that? That sounds like a big job!

I just sent you an e-mail, and I mentioned that you should update your blog more. I am glad to see you did! By the way, my grandma says hello, she always asks about you when I see her.
