March 15, 2012: RIP AllThingsWishful.com
.... it's so sad. So sad. SO SAD. My heart feels like it's been ripped out and shredded into pieces. I don't feel finished with this project. I don't want to put it to rest. I don't have much choice - my plate is already so full (marriage, Arry Table, day job with Logic20/20). Le sigh....

I'm loving every minute of it. Yes, more email very welcome: arry (at) arrytable (dot) com. Let me know what you think. Thank you so much for your support.

August 19, 2011: #photoshoot for my Arry Table
Complete! Thanks so much to help of Krystal from Smashing Divas and Thom/Jamarie from Tagged by TM. A whole day of photography - We started at 830AM and worked until about 930PM straight. A lot of hard work - and we are so excited to share with you the results! I'm working on finalizing the layout for my design prospectus now - and practicing for my video (which will be filmed on Monday 8/22/2011)! Stay tuned!
August 3, 2011: Charging on!
So my Arry Table logos are underway and I'm making final decisions - actually renaming my furniture designs to live under a different name. Went with the same logo guy that designed our AllThingsWishful.com logo - he's reliable, fast, and hungry. Found my video guy too - @MikeFolden. I'm quite excited to be working with him. I begin work on my ArryTable beauty shots with a talented photographer that's recently moved to Seattle from Atlanta, GA next week. I've found my guy who'll help me with drawings and illustrations.... and more tables will be built!!! I plan to plant them around the city over the next couple of months - and will let you know where you can visit one of my Table babies! :)
On a side note, lots of changes going on at AllThingsWishful. Lots going on. And some very very very key meetings happening this week that'll determine what's next!

July 18, 2011: On the hunt now for an awesome brand/logo person + and a super duper cool video production person for my ArryTable (if you have any recommendations, please shoot them my way). I did finally create the placeholder website: www.arrytable.com ---> waiting for my patent attorney to give me the green light to post things out there. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, you know? Also working on single user licenses for the table - so other people can build them, one table at a time. :) Woot.
July 11, 2011: AllThingsWishful.com is officially out of beta!
It's been a long an interesting road - with more to come. We got a lot of marketing and selling to do now - and working on finding some good partnerships as well. We also took the opportunity to "brighten" up our site with a new logo and improved "lighting". Hope you like it! :)
June 25, 2011: Made some really cool design improvements to my ArryTable.
May 4, 2011: Sprint #2 Sprint #2... - AllThingsWishful.com - Version 1.2 coming up!

January 16, 2011: Prototypes have been built. Design iterations made. Now - "Project Sell Tables" has begun. I'm now working with an awesome female attorney, and plans to find good homes for 20 tables are underway. Interested? Send me a message via my contact page.
September 17, 2010: It's official. I am officially patent-pending with my furniture design.
