October 23, 2010

Wow! It has been a flurry of activity lately, and a lot of long hours. The months leading into the Christmas season (September, October) can be just as busy -- if not more -- than the actual production time in November and December. Why? Because there is so much to do in terms of preparation.... preparing the building for incoming product, preparing my work station by doubling up on tables ... stacking them. Then there are the calls to customers, preparing sample baskets for them, running the samples around to the customers, tweaking sample gifts if necessary (sometimes requiring extra trips to the customer), then working on invoicing and getting down-payments. All of this in addition to keeping up with everyday business, and everyday personal things (with a chronically ill spouse) that also take extra time. So -- I am tired already! Come on, January! But I do look forward to when things really start to *rock and roll* around here! It is fun and exciting and fulfilling to see my hard work being appreciated.

More soon.
