the business show

I have spent the last 2 months planning for this show, and now that it is over I wish I would have spent more time working on the website. It was offered by our park district here, and they obviously did not take any of the registration money to advertise it. There was very little traffic, but I did sell to the few people that came by. More importantly I gave out a lot of cards, so the site could be advertised. Now I have to make up the time loading the products onto the website. I have a couple orders pending with various suppliers so I will soon be offering a higher end line of diaper bags, and socks/tights. I also found a wonderful person to make the most adorable little clips thanks to my Jamie! I can do a lot of different kind of hair bows, but these are crazy good and I just don't have that kind of time to spend on hair bows.

I did meet a really nice girl at the show that lives in our subdivision here. She was selling the most adorable handmade cards. I bought a couple Holiday ones for Zach's teachers. She was pregnant so I gave her my email address to email me when she found out what she was having so I could send her a onesie shirt. It is advertising to me so I am more then happy to put them out there. The little boy on the website is my workout coach's son. He has the same birthday as Gary and I made the shirt for him for his birthday. She has since told all her friends about the site, and I am getting emails all the time about tees!

I am going to be doing another expo in Algonquin that my brother who in on the Chamber of Commerce told me about. That one is a bit more expensive to register, but Gary and I walked around it last year and it was super busy. Hopefully it will be good advertising, so I have from now until January to get the website done.

Brienna came to visit at lunch time and got into the bin of extra placemats and headbands. She thought it was a lot of fun to pull them out one by one and then chuck it across the floor!
