I am SO excited! My little company is growing :)

Most of you probably don’t this about me, but I practice and teach yoga in my spare time to help balancing my sanity and spirit. I normally don’t talk about it since I prefer to seperate my staging life & my yoga life. (Wouldn’t it be weird to see your stager teaching you yoga?!) But I got an email from one of my teacher yesterday that really put me into deep thoughts about our staging industry.

Where the heck has Cindy Lin Been?!

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Hello all!

Thanks to those of you who have been checking up on this blog and dropping me a line asking where the heck have I been?! Well, life lately has been hectic and crazy. All of a sudden the real estate boom in the bay area market had made me quite busy staging and running around like a mad woman with hammer in one hand and windex in the other and my parents are also in town visiting (which just drives me a little be crazier than usual…). It’s quite thrilling to see my small company grow and every installation project is a different challenge and learning experience. Our new website is almost done, so look for that unveiling some time in April. And as usual, feel free to drop me a line with your comments and questions at any time. I am also working on guest bloggers so this can be a more informational site for you.

Cheers,

Cindy
