Its official...we now own a business...sort of

I am proud to announce the grand opening of my new website. We have officially opened for business. I've always been "crafty" and after our grand-daughter was born, I started making hair bows again. Now, I did make a few when dd was little but these are not anywhere near the same category of bows. I took to visiting a bow-making forum and seeing what these gals were selling on ebay and etsy. Dh & I started talking about doing something with all this crafty "stuff" I love to make. Since he is now a power seller on Ebay, I thought we would sell on ebay. But, to my surprise, he wanted to create a website strictly for my stuff. After much research and trial and error on website building, we took the plunge and paid for web hosting. After about a month of figuring out how all that works, we were up and running.
We've had some local sales so far, and hope for some online sales any day now. The site has been getting hits daily, so hopefully it's just a matter of time. Pricing and shipping seem to be our biggest respective worries right now. We are talking about adding adsense, but I want it to be unobtrusive (sp?). I know which websites I love and hate to shop, & clutter really turns me off. Wish us luck in our new venture! Take a look at what we've done so far.



In other unrelated news, the daycare where I work is experiencing some changes. I look forward to them, even though it means an increase in our workload. The changes are for the best and will benefit the children. That's the whole point, so I have no problems with that. And of course, I am getting a paycheck, so I have no problem working for it. I just hope that most of the other employees can handle the change with a positive attitude. We have our first big meeting on Monday night & it should be a hum dinger! I've experienced a whole new side of the childcare arena, since I've been working in the director's office lately. I've been trying to help her get more organized (which all my colleagues seem to think I am, but dh disagrees). Anyway, it's been a confirmation of my feelings that I DON'T want to open, run, or even be the director of a childcare setting. I just don't need that kind of stress!
People can be such idjits at times, some more than others, but wow! Working around all these other women and then coming home to work with a man is like..., well let's just say it's different!
Ok, off to bed-dy bye now - just felt the need to blog!
