\"Lietz“Where do you get the time to do all that you do? You are a Wonder Woman indeed.” ~Illaya-B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been getting a lot of very kind comments lately in regards to being a ‘superwoman’ and such… wondering how I get everything done in a day. Although it may appear that I am a one woman show, that is definitely not the case. I have an enormous amount of support behind the scenes from my husband and partner Doug. Today’s photo is of him, and our happy little family on vacation up at Whistler Mountain<\/a> this past summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy Lietz is a superwoman; there aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all that she does. I don’t know how she does it, even with her husband’s help. <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You are such an amazingly awesome woman. I just don’t know where you get your energy or how you possibly can squeeze the time it must take for all that you do into your 24 hour days. You truly are a superwoman!!!\u00a0 It sounds like you have had a brilliant life so far. I just admire you so very much. I feel so very blessed to have found you in this big ole’ world, and to be able to learn from you. You are such a positive inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. :) :) :) I pray that you will continue to be blessed always!!! Hugs to you. <\/span>~Cindy-E<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I so enjoy your posts and adore the photographs that Doug takes for your inspiration. Just love those flowers in your garden. Where do you get the time to do all that you do? You are a Wonder Woman indeed. <\/span>~Illaya-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you so very much everyone. I truly am blessed to have such a supportive group of followers. But you should all realize that one of the main reasons this Polymer Clay Community even works at all, is because of my dear husband, Doug. Without him, my ideas would be a collection of thoughts floating around in my brain, unable to reach any of you. I am a creative type after all. He is the backbone, the brains, the computer geek and the conductor that makes this symphony sound so good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes I write the posts, come up with the content for the tutorials and teach them on video. But Doug makes sure you get to benefit from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is the editor and publisher at the blog. He directs, films and does all the post production for our videos. Doug wears the photography hat; Moderates the commenting activity when its required; Manages the customer service side of things; Takes care of the Google stuff as well as most everything else to do with business development…. so that I can stay focused on creative activities as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

When there is a technical issue, Doug is the go to guy. In fact he puts more hours into this little adventure than I do. After all, I’m also a Mom which means there is the occasional load of laundry to get done… among other things :-)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I want you all to know that Doug actually deserves more than half the credit for everything that gets done around here. My good friend Diane says I should have business cards made up with one of those alternating hologram pictures… where my face changes to Doug’s face depending on how you hold the card. Wouldn’t that be funny! It’s so true!<\/span><\/p>\n

Any way… Doug will probably be embarrassed when he goes to post this article today and reads all this. I hope you don’t mind Honey.<\/span><\/p>\n

I just thought you may like to know that we all appreciate everything you do around here. And that although you don’t often get to hear it, you deserve most if not all of the credit. Love You!<\/span><\/p>\n

PS: <\/strong><\/span>Thanks goes out to all of you members and visitors here as well… for everything you have done to make this site the supportive community that it is today. Without you, Doug and I would be chatting away to ourselves here. So like it says in the title, It takes a Village…<\/em> Thank You All!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
