Tomorrow!

Wedding show is tomorrow, or technically today since it is already Saturday morning. So in just a few hours we will be setting up for the show. I think we have remembered everything and hopefully it will go off without a hitch. It is exciting to be able to bring our products to a live market after selling online. Of course we are nervous about it but not so much that we can't enjoy the excitment. We did a practice set up at Ally's tonight and it looks so cute! Off to bed to get some shut eye, no good to be groggy in the morning.

Time for a Beachy Vacation

It is that time of year that I start itching to go on a vacation. These warmer days just insist that I should be at the beach with sand between my toes and the sound of the waves inviting me in to the water. It is a little premature I know but I LOVE the beach! These photos were taken last summer on vacation on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. What a gorgeous place!! The water is crystal clear and everyone is so laid back. There is a completely different lifestyle there. If your idea of perfection is a priceless view, peace and quiet, seclusion, fresher than fresh seafood, and salty air this is the place the be.

NCLEX over.... on to Wedding Show

Now that the NCLEX is in my past and I have the knowledge of my passing score I am free to freak out about other stuff. The wedding show is in less than a week now and we have lots to do before then. Not to mention actually going to my real job and putting in some nursing hours.





We need to finish designing our setup we already have a lot of this done including some really cute wooden shutters to use as displays for our cards. We still have to decide how we want to cover our table to make it stand out but still be tasteful. We have designed a few more items but will probably work on that a lot more tomorrow.





We are thinking about moving operations over to the Green room at Ally's house after the show because our workspace is getting quite cramped here!

Wedding Show

So we have been working on ideas for the wedding show that we decided to do. It will be our first show and we are both a little nervous as well as excited. I think that we have come up with some good ideas for products as well as the look of our booth. The show is on March 1st so we don't have a lot of time left, it will be here before we know it.

I know it is going to be a little tough having people walk by and critiquing our products but it will be nice to interact face to face with potential customers!

Purple Wedding

We've been working today on ideas for someone's wedding. Their colors are purple and gold and they wanted to incorporate gold lace (which was a little tough). I think we are pleased with the results. Think for the rest of the evening I am going to relax and have some coffee (it has turned cold again here in Georgia and coffee sounds good) and watch the brave one. Hope Jodi Foster kicks major butt in this movie!

NCLEX fears

So, I (rem) just graduated nursing school in December. As if all the hard work to get that degree wasn't enough we have to be tortured by the NCLEX (nursing boards). Due to a late start by our school to get our information to the state licensing board we were late getting our authorizations to test. When I did get it, I applied for a test date which is going to be Tues, Feb 19. It is a little difficult to fully enjoy life with something so important looming in the near future because as much as I try not to worry or even think about it somehow it creeps back into the front of my mind.

I have been attempting to review a little each day but I just KNOW that when I get in to take the test some outside force is going to remove all the knowledge from my brain that I worked so hard to put in and then laugh at me. The point to this rambling is I am ready, oh so ready, for this to be behind me. And just for old time's sake I have included a photo of me in my dreaded whites (at least I don't have to wear them again...I THREW them AWAY!)

Me and some fellow nursing folks.

New Item

Things have been busy here for a few days. Allyson and I have completely finished and handed over the save the date cards to their new, engaged owner. They were all stamped, printed, ribboned, and magnetized.

Today's listing is a photo that I took last summer while on vacation with my family. It was a beautiful afternoon and we went out on a dolphin cruise. I love the beach! I also love taking photos. I always have a hundred or more after a trip (isn't digital photography amazing!)

A little overwhelmed

We have been amazed at the sudden interest in our items and are getting a little (happily) overwhelmed at the prospect of our baby (store) taking off so quickly. We are in brainstorm mode and that seems to be affecting the hours that we are calling bedtime. I am still wired tonight, Chico and Killer (the canine crew) have long since tuckered out. I guess I should try and get some sleep sometime, but it is oh so fun coming up with business ideas. LoL

Baking Invitations

So, very new to this blogging thing...so please forgive any blogging blunders.


Ally and I (Rem) recently got an order for wedding invitations and save the dates. We stamped the save the dates last night and the gold ink was taking FOREVER to dry (hours, seriously) so my house ended up covered in save the date cards. The chest freezer, the stove, the counter, etc... We decided it looked curoiusly like a paper version of an Izzy baking meltdown (any Grey's fans?). We have since had to take a break because we had begun to see gold swirls everywhere.
