050/365: Takin' care of business...


No this is not a family portrait! :-)

I just got my new shipment of "Stuff n Fluff"s today. I'm doing a Reading Incentive party at a local elementary school. The "Bananas About Workshop" should be lots of fun: stuffing, fluffing, reading (Curious George, what else?), and eating (Bananas).

Business has picked up a little bit. While doing taxes, I noticed I did make a little bit of a profit. Nothing to make me independently wealthy, but maybe word of mouth will help me expand my customer base. With the looming pay cut, this may be our saving grace.

I'm excited about the prospect of diversifying the business this spring. BellaBeads 925 will be a part of my inventory. This concept combines the best of jewelry stores and home parties. Ladies can come together and design their own jewelry, bracelets being the most popular. Charms and beads can be selected and arranged to either form elaborate patterns or eclectic collections (that's my choice). It will be nice to gather with other ladies and watch them choose designs that reflect their lives. (It will also be nice to be around estrogen....)

In the meantime, let the monkey business continue.

Until next time....network away!
