Let the Production Begin!

 


Spent the past couple weeks having the web sites tweaked and cleaned up. Looking much better now. Things are running smoother and easier to load. All of the primary links checked. Some links in posts from long ago may no longer work. If it's something you are interested in knowing more about, shoot me a comment with the form below or email me with your questions. Some of my posts have been removed for reasons beyond me?  some removed by my choice, as they are no longer valid. 

Life is an everchanging journey. Some folks are lucky and given a stable livelihood, while others are constantly on the move. We have to be able to flex and keep moving forward, no matter what comes our way. "Life's a journey enjoy the ride."

Retirement lasted 2 days and I put him to work. The yard needed done before the rainy season hits. It's already getting chilly so it won't be long now. I just need a couple more bags of dirt and a couple bags of bark then all my plants will be ready for the cold and winter snow.

The secret {if you want to call it a secret} is 'horse poop'. I bring home a garbage can of poop that has started to compost, layer all my plants after they have been transplanted, then add a layer of bark. . . They winter well and the rain brings all the nutrients down to the roots, so next year... the blooms will be twice as much as this year. You should see what it's done for the strawberry patch. 

Since his retirement we've bought the 'blank' products and the printing and press machines, now to turn the photos into the products and be ready for the next event! We've found some perfect new display walls and stands, to make the most of our selling space, no matter what event we're at. We can fill a 10x10 tent, or 12' of table space. The display walls will give us another 12' of exposure and space for the canvas and prints.

Our first Heat press should be here next week. It's the last piece of the puzzle to complete our production line. After much research and comparison - We finally bought the printer last Friday, saved over $300! Yes, I made sure to get extra sublimation ink, paper, heat tape and gloves. After hours of traffic that I wasn't expecting we made it to Best Buy and bought the new computers today. They were having an amazing sale and we saved another $150 on each computer!

This week will be 'work'! Getting everything ready for the holiday event season. I managed to get us booked up to the beginning of December, hoping to squeeze a couple more weekends in before Christmas. Would love to sell out on the holiday inventory.

Well I got a couple more things to hook up before I shut my eyes for the night. Hope all is well in your world. Good night folks.

Blessed by God
