Tweaking and other news…
By bella | February 7, 2006
I did a little tweaking to my gallery last night and this morning. It just wasn’t looking and working like I wanted it to. Lots better now! I’ll be changing it regularly, with “this week’s” layouts being updated as I put them together. Credit info for the layouts can be found when you click on the thumbnail and view the larger image.
In other news, the bridal show was definitely a success. I’ve received 3 calls, 2 official orders, and at least 3 other email requesting info or proofs. I was hoping for 10-12 orders in the next 6 months… I’m confident that it will happen now! That may seem like a modest hope, but not having ever done the show before, I didn’t want to hope too big. And 10-12 orders will more than pay for the cost of doing it. Actually, if the future orders are anything like the ones I have right now, I will only need 5-6 to pay for the show! And the best part of it, is that word of mouth is like fire with this business. If someone has 100 or 200 candy bars at a wedding, thats 100-200 people who see the product who might not otherwise have seen it. It’s really like a wildfire catching on – it happened in Nebraska, and I fully expect it to be the same here. So.. Bridal Show=awesome!
Updates on the kiddos – Baby Allan pulled himself up for the first time yesterday. It was SO much fun to watch him. He was so proud, and confident! Going to try and get pictures today if he does it again. And Samuel has been entertaining us with this imagination and “dialogueing”. He creates all kinds of little conversations with himself and someone else, even though they aren’t there at the time. He “talks” to my mom and dad, or Allan’s folks, or Allan while he’s at work. He works out in advance exactly how the conversation is going to happen, with “I’ll say…” and then “he’ll say”.. and “then we’ll both laugh…” and then “I’ll say”…. It’s about as cute as you can imagine! Definitely have a creative thinker on my hands!
Ok, off to get some work done while the baby sleeps…
