Christmas Came Early.....

....And it's called FATHER'S DAY! Wow, it's been a wild ride, Mr. Toad. Since May 30 or so, we've had record-breaking sales every day. Even the weekend was good, and the weekends are almost never good. So, if you are reading this, and you bought something from us for Dad, then THANK YOU! You rock!

This mad flurry of Dad Day sales motivated me to create some new designs for Dad. I've been so busy with my new job that I just haven't had time to work on anything new. :( Boo hoo, I know. So, I stayed up late one night and worked on some ideas that have been sitting on scraps of paper in my office.

That's usually what happens -- I get an idea, and I frantically search for a piece of paper to write it on, or else it could be gone in seconds. Funny.....wasn't that way BEFORE I had a baby.....?

What was I saying.....?

Oh yes, ideas. So, I pulled out some scraps, chuckled at a few, groaned at some others, and got to work. The result?

She's Having My Baby
Don't Need Directions


Okay, so that's all I had time to do for Dad.....I did work on some new designs in Spanish, too, but I will save those for my next post.....and some new baby designs, including a little series about baby starting the "Terrible Two's" early......please check them out!

Happy Father's Day to all, and to all....a good night! [Like I said, Christmas came early.....]

Hello World!

It's been awhile since I posted to my blog.....just been SO busy with the new job and the got baby! biz. But life is GOOD, so I can't complain. The new job is absolutely wonderful -- I'm loving every second of it. My manager rocks, the company rocks, the work rocks, the shorter commute rocks, my title rocks, and my pay rocks. Making this move was the best thing I could have done -- for ME, for my mental health, for my creative inner child and for my career. I am one happy camper!

The got baby! business is going well, too, especially with Father's Day sales kicking into gear. May was better than December, so that's quite something. It enabled got baby! to buy a slick, High Def digital camcorder for filming advertisements and other stuff. And I got this killer 24" monitor for the biz. Really, I can't complain!

Oh wait....I got summoned for jury duty....two days before I leave for Las Vegas....is that cause to complain???

By the way, HELLO to any former co-workers and my husband's ex-wife who are still snooping around my blog....hope you're enjoying yourselves. I can see you in the log files....sorry my blog isn't the source of taboo opinions that it might have been in the past......

Later, gotta run! Baby Bird and I are both sick with some sort of cough and congestion thing. I'm going to bed early, in the hopes of beating this thing. I am off to Vegas for a trade show at the end of the month, so I need to make sure I'm well before that trip! Plus, I'm just sick of being sick.
