I'm high on life!!!

I just have this amazing energy burning through me today...I am loving life!! I spent most of the day on the computer with the web designer...and I am loving the progress we made. His goal is to have me operating my business by the end of the week...yoowza! Am I ready for that? This is all getting very exciting! I can't imagine how excited I'll be when someone actually buys some of my products (you know...that aren't my friends or family...)

I went to USPS (the post office) to have them weigh my products so I can state my shipping prices. And did you know that if you use the post offfice to ship you get all your supplies for free (boxes, envelops, etc.). So I think they have been the cheapest so far. they are really trying to compete with Fed Ex and UPS now.

Well, I guess I better go....I need to finish working on my website copy!!

Ta ta for now!

Pictures are IN!!!

Drum roll please....... the pictures are in. And I do have to say I am dying to give you all a sneak peek. But I just don't know if I should. I'll think about it....so keep checking back to see if I give in and do. Well, now that I have the pictures this week is going to be a crazy busy week. I have to start working on the copy for the products. Which shouldn't be too bad. I already had some notes jotted down. I did finish my mission...I can share that with you.

just waiting......

So right now....I am just anxiously awaiting for my pictures to come back from the photographer. Oh, did I mention I was anxious??? :) Once I get the pictures back then everything will really start to come together....the website will be able to get completed. I can work on my brochure and card.

As of right now though...I need to take my creative brain and shut it off and try to sit down and figure out how to use Quickbooks. That's what I am going to use to do my accounting until I get so big I can't do it myself....and then I'll hire my sister The CPA to do it for me...(unless you want to do it for me right now big sis....wink wink) JK!!

Well, time to take the kids outside in the backyard and play in the kiddie pool!! How fun! :)

Photo shoot

Well...the long awaited photo shoot went very well. All the babies did an amazing job. And the best thing of all is that they loved the 'Burp See' burp cloths and the 'Baby See' T-shirts!! And so did their mommies. I was very excited to see how well received my products were. This is just the beginning of this amazing journey I am on. And I am loving every minute of it!

I can't wait for all of you to see the website....and to see all the great pictures! And then let the games begin. I can't wait to have the problem of finding the time to fill all the orders...LOL! I actually already have a few orders in! Woo hoo!! I love it......

I'll try to post more often but it is hard. Time has really become limited. Plus I don't even know if anyone reads this :) LOL

Shirts

Hi all!

Exciting news!!! The shirts are to be delivered tomorrow. It will be so nice to have them so I can start really concentrating on the packaging of them. And most importantly, now I can arrange the photo shoot.....so I can get my website up and running! I cannot wait till that gets done....let the business begin!!

I really am looking forward to seeing the reaction and response I get from people regarding my products. It's one thing for friends and family to love them. but it's another for a complete stranger to pay cold hard cash for it! :)

I'll update once I get the shirts and let you know how the new design turned out!!

The stress is starting to creep in!!

Oh this little venture is starting to become a bit stressful. I am starting to realize that all of this is alot of work for just little ole me. I know I can do it....it just would be nice if I had a partner that I can roll ideas off or that could help make some of these decisions. There are always sooo soo soooo many decisions. I guess i wouldn't have such ants in my pants about everything if the shirts would have come out correctly and we (I mean I...ha ha ha) were well on our way to opening our online store. But no....now I have extra time to think about everything...and apparently my idle mind can make me second guess my decisions.

I guess I need to stop blogging and get my behind back to work. Just thought I would take a minute and vent...in hopes that someone out there might feel sorry for me...just kidding!! I still love what I am doing and you will see me successful one day. One day soon!!!

Still waiting...

So there are still lots of things to get done before the start of Zeebabee Designs. But I am still waiting patiently for the shirts. I am hoping (very much so) that I will have them by the end of this week.

We have a new burp cloth design that is coming underway quite nicely. And at this rate it just might be available when we launch. That will be exciting! If you can't tell I am getting very anxious to get this all completed.

On a different note.... yesterday we had a going away party for my brother and his family...they are moving to Texas. Dallas, Texas!! So far away. I am going to miss them very much!!! But this will be a new and exciting opportunity for him and his family. I wish them all the luck and happiness in the world.
