Okay, lame title, I know, but I thought it was funny! Forgive me – I’ve only just started packing and I’m already exhausted from the last minute details.
But first things first – I accepted the position with Quilter’s Newsletter with one change. I will not be Associate Editor, I will be Senior Editor! The job description is identical except for several additional responsibilities.
I start working in Golden, CO on September 20th and since I have no place to live down there and don’t know much at all about the area, I plan to arrive early and stay at an Extended Stay hotel for at least a week. I was going to rent an apartment based on their website, but decided I’d rather actually see it in person before I handed over any money or signed a lease.
The next several days will be a whirlwind of activity. I rented a POD to move with and it arrived this morning. I’m still waiting for the moving boxes to arrive. Friends are taking me to lunch today, then after that, other friends are coming over to help with more packing. They were here for most of yesterday too. We worked out a barter arrangement. They will help us pack, paint, and clean the house in return for their choice of furniture that I’m not taking with me. It works out for everyone.
My friends are not quilters, but I gave them a show-and-tell while we packed up my sewing room and they oohed and aahed in all the right places, so it was good for my ego. 
Anyway, this may be my last update for awhile since I have a lot of work to do to cram a 4 bedroom house into a 2 bedroom apartment. Wish me luck!

I posted the original listing direct from QNM on Facebook, which Erin passed along, and I’m SO FREAKING EXCITED for you!! lol
Many, many hugs and squees and leaps for joy! Enjoy Golden, and I KNOW you’re going to love working with Quilter’s Newsletter!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for posting it! I just applied on the spur of the moment and never imagined I’d get it!
Are you a quilter? Do you live anywhere near Golden? I only know Erin through an editor’s mailing list – never actually met her. How cool is that? And people scoff at social networking!
I am definitely a quilter! Been making quilts about 20 years now and I’m totally addicted to fabric, especially batiks. I considered applying for the job myself (for about 2 seconds) but my husband has a great job here in Northern Iowa and I really don’t want to move, so, I thought, surely *someone* on my friend list would want it – or know someone who would – and I’m so excited that it worked out so great. It’s almost like getting the dream job vicariously. lol
Social Networking really does rock.
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!! This has just made my evening! {{huggs}}
What an amazing opportunity! All of my best to you and hope you enjoy your adventures in Golden, CO.
Thanks Lisa!
