{WHEW!}

aaaaaaaaandddd... DONE!!!

{source}

i have officially made, packaged and mailed 275 pairs of pearl earrings!
before going into this GroopDealz thingy, i wasn't entirely sure i could handle
it amongst one of the busiest weeks at work. but i made it happen,
without a meltdown even,
and i now feel like i can handle a lot more than i thought. it is empowering!
although, i would most certainly get burned out if i did this all the time..
i could probably sleep for an entire day, i'm so worn out!
i don't thing i've ever been so ready for a vacation!!

now i have a dirty, dirty, messy, messy house & a giant pile of laundry to conquer,
on top of lots of unanswered emails (sorry to those i've left hanging).
hopefully i can muster up some extra energy to get these things done soon.
in the meantime, i am going to allow myself to relax for a little bit.
{big sigh of relief}
