Happy New Year !! ( A month or so late!!) Yes, It is February 1st and I am finally getting around to updating this blog...( thanks to Janice, Cindy and Angela who chastised me at Basketball yesterday! :)
Yet again, this life of ours keeps getting more interesting. In mid January Chad and I traveled to Las Vegas for the largest promotional trade show in the world. It was a great trip and we had awesome exposure for our Cozy products. It was a very successful show for us and it was a nice getaway for us too! We hope the residuals will start to roll in. The Promotional industry is huge and since we have a new line to offer it should become a successful arena for us to sell in.
Now, we are venturing into another crazy world of Screen Printing!! Yes, Chad and I have taken over an existing business and are getting ready to have a full-blown print shop up and running by the end of this week!! I know what you are all thinking...what are THEY thinking.. but we are excited and feel like this is the right thing for us right now. It goes hand-in-hand with the promotional industry and it will provide us some much-needed source of income to keep us all alive!! I will be working the presses as well as Chad and another person we are hoping to find who we can hire to help us who just might know the business...especially since we are totally clueless!! :) It might be a little busy for a few months and the kids will be living there with us half of the time, but I feel like in the long run that the Lord has lead us to this opportunity and will bless us for being obedient and for listening to promptings. We are sooo blessed! I can't even begin to say how blessed we feel, even though this has been one of the most trying years we have had. We feel the mercy and the love of our Heavenly Father in our lives everyday. I will try to keep this updated as I will be spending more time on the computer attempting to learn graphic design...YIKES!! I wish I would have done something other than Music and Theater in College!! A graphics class would have come in really handy right now....:{
Thanks to our dear friends and family who are so kind and lovingly help us out all the time with our kids, etc. We are forever indebted. As well as the elves who left the mounds of gifts on our doorstep at Christmas! THANK YOU AGAIN, whoever you are. WE LOVE YOU!!! Janna
