Sam's Homemade Wrapping Paper.
My son Sam turned 7 today. He made this incredible paper in school. The color inspires me! I will be drafting my plans for next year's fall line with this in my heart. It's perfect.

Beth –
I am not sure if you will remember me, but I worked for you for a short period of time. I was hired to work in your management company and later moved to the .com. I know you are still working with Diana, as I have kept in touch with her over the years. She mentioned the new management company, which was my initial plan of contact, but I couldn’t remember the name. So, I googled you. It was refreshing to find you with the bags you make. I never new about that side of you and that type of creativity. I love the bags and have a textiles teacher who would go “ga, ga” over them!
Without wasting too much of your time, I moved to San Diego about 7 years ago. As you know, the entertainment jobs in San Diego are about zilch. I made a decision to go back to school and have been doing interior design for the past two years. Cut to the chase… I am about to pitch a show idea to a large corporation and I am wondering how does someone like me, protect myself? My concern is from the perspective of being taken advantage of and not being compensated and/or having any part of the show. I work for this corporation as a design consultant, but pitching a show is a whole different ball game. I want to see this come to life, but I want to make sure that I am a part of it.
I don’t know if you can help me in any way or lead me to someone who could, but I thought it was worth a shot.

From your photos with Charlie and your blog page, you sound and look amazingly happy. That is fantastic!

Best wishes,

Erika Coleman

Bethy,

Happy New Year!!!

I love the paper. Tell Sam, he rocks! Oskar would love to do it too. Dare you share with your Swedish cousin how to?

I love my Beth Colt bag. I have been using it everyday lately. With the cold dark Swedish weather lately, it is the perfect warm fuzzy accessory. I might just have to sell them for you here. :)

I thought you might enjoy a recent blog entry about entrepreneurship, seeing as you are quite the serial entrepreneur yourself. you can find it at womensharingwisdom.blogspot.com. Oh, and please list your bags under shopping on the 2BalanceU.com site. You can still use the "heidi" invite code if you haven't already registered. I know loads of women that would love them. If you send me the logo, I will upload it with the listing, or you can use it as your "picture" in your profile. Although I would miss your smiling face.

Hugs to you and yours,
Heidi
