I’ve been meaning to get on here for days and just haven’t had a split second! It seems like I’ve been running in circles since the kits arrived, and I’m desperately trying to settle into some kind of routine. It probably sounds crazy, but I’m not yet comfortable sitting at the helm of my ‘empire’ just yet. It feels funny to be making rules and policies up as I go along and just a little scary to be winging it.

So although nothing huge has happened since the last blog post, I do have a little happy news to share. I went on my very first sales call on Friday and I’m happy to say – it was easier than I’d imagined. She loved my packaging and the fact that I wasn’t skimpy on the supplies in the kit, and seemed very happy that the box fits perfectly in one of their gift bags. It’s a very stylish gift boutique with a fantastic mix of wedding, baby, stationery and toy items. I was able to sit down with the store owner and we talked for a while. She actually lives 2 streets over and her son is in kindergarten with my daughter! Anyway, we’re going to have a craft party at her boutique for a group of about 6-10 little girls. It’s kind of like my ‘coming out’ party, and I’m very excited about it. This week I hope to knock on some more doors. I’m so happy to be finally be at this point, and all I want to do is sell, sell, sell!! I have also contacted a few boutiques by email and have sent samples which they will receive this week.

I finally sent my press release out via PRWeb and received a voicemail from a producer of a tv series in FL. Of course I called back immediately but found that she was gone for the day. AAhhh!! So that’s been quite a cliff-hanger – I tried hard not to think about it all weekend! I hope to be in touch with her tomorrow. I’ll be sure to let you all know if it turns out to be anything!
