I feel like I should send out Birth Announcements…

The website….

She is ALMOST done!!!!

I wanted to launch it last night although not completely finished… a few little kinks to smooth out and then… it will be LIVE!!!

I never thought this day would come… I’d like to thank the academy… oh wait.

I sang the praises of our merchant account guy but I may have to put that on hold… I’ll update that one later… I may have run into a tiny snag… and that snag’s name is mr. monthly fee.

So… in the next few days check back, create an account and I will be sending out incentives to those of you who sign up early :) Free and/or discounted stuff… whichever I can figure out first ;)

Oh! And I don’t want to jump the gun on this one but we MIGHT be able to sell gift certificates via the website that you print up ON THE SPOT!! Who hasn’t been 10 minutes late to a party and said… “uh-oh, I need a gift… NOW… and I can’t re-gift that food dehydrator Aunt Gertrude gave us and 7-11 doesn’t gift wrap….” So, all you’ll have to do is set the amount and print! They can use it in the store, on our online store and possibly even our ebay store (that one… will be hard to set up). AND, get this, and I think it’s brilliant, I will offer a few different FREE greeting cards that you can print up to put your snazzy new gift certificate in… I know, it’s clever. ;) You may copy me if you wish! ;) It’s probably already been done, but what hasn’t?!?

On a sidenote… we were out of power for a while today. Karen Sill was up here talking about her horror-escapades in printing, and *bbbeeeeewwww* the power goes out… with that “power down” eerie noise. So, we’re all standing here in the dark, it’s getting hotter… not the best shopping experience. Good thing I had Reagan, Matthew and Steven to keep me occupied. I learned more about Star Wars, X-Box and Star Wars video games than I ever thought I needed to know… I’m happy to report that if you put in a special code at some point in the game, you can become an Ewok. Wow.

Back to work… now that I have a computer with real electricity!
