Perfect as can be!!
 
Hi, Gillian! I know I have been away, but I have been thinking about you! I am staying active with PC, while doing my coffee thing. I would love to promote, but right now my PC business is kinda lagging, but I am hoping it will pick up soon, since I'll have a better idea of what's going on once we close on the loan. I'm staying active, but I don't want to date a show because my schedule is so up in the air. Plus, I just don't have the time to follow up on the leads. I know people say that, but I really don't! Appointments before work, 2 or 3 during lunch and then a couple after work, its insane!

I am glad you are sticking around! And, as you know, situations can change! It might not be right for you now, but later on it could work out! Funny thing, at my invitation, my director is already planning to have cluster meetings at my store! LOL

I am so excited for you Anne, and I am so envious of your "go-get 'em" spirit. You wanted a coffee house and you are getting one- if only we could all be so determined! Who knows, maybe one day you will be meeting all your hosts at your coffee place :D Next time I'm in Jersey I will stop by!
 
I am developing a true passion for capturing my children in pictures, and see it as a true gift to them in the future. I LOVED making Daniel's (and other's) birth announcements, and would do it all day long if it paid well, LOL!

Gillian,

I know we all hold Ebay on a certain page here on CS but you could make a good living on there selling your designs for announcements. I went to a Mommy business group's shop today and there were about 25 STAHM's who made thier own businesses doing what they love. One makes her own announcements just like you. Instead of Ebay you might get your own website and do it that way. You just never know.
 
awwww she is so cute!!!!

Does your hospital have brochures for local diaper services and other things new moms need? Maybe you coul;d put together a brochure and they'd include it with their parenting classes or find a craft fair, scrapbook your "samples" and promote yourself!
 
To the both of you all of the childern are just beautiful. to bad they don't say small for very long, so you are doing the best thing by enjoying them and being able to stay home with them . I have also been able to stay home with my 2 kids now 12 , and 10, doing PC only. But that is the beauty of PC you can do it for as long as you want . Some day when you are ready you can always come back and you know there are always great things going on for you with PC.
So for now enjoy them cause the years go by so fast
 
Gill, if you want to sell some of your photos and even offer custom announcements via the internet, I suggest you check out etsy.com. Mrs. KG clued me in on it, and it's a great place! All handmade/artisan stuff, and the fees are much lower than eBay. I know that taking pics for custom announcements would be hard (since chances are good they wouldn't be near you), but I'm sure you could figure something out.

Thanks, Gill! Some days I can't believe this is happening and then some days, I just try not to kill my architect!
