A real business

The surgery went well. My oldest son now has a plate and four screws in his right hand. It was a very long day though, and I was up for 20 hours. Hence my absence yesterday.

I received my promotional materials yesterday. The rack cards, business cards, and t-shirt along with a couple of surprises. I feel so 'real' now... well, like my business is real. Now, it's time to put all of those items to good use!

This will be the last month for free shipping in my shop. I've done some cost analysis and my profit is being almost completely consumed by postage. So... if you'd like to take advantage of the free shipping, do it prior to Saturday!

This weekend I hope to get some more journals made and listed. And I will begin researching local venues once again. Possibly a place to do consignment. We will see what doors are opened up for me. I do know that doors do not just open. I have to find the door, and I have to knock.
So, that is what I will do. I am considering approaching the local wineries to put my rack cards in.

Always planning... that's me. Planning, doing, and moving forward. That's the game plan.
