Wow, well, thank you all for your kind thoughts & emails.   Thankfully everything is pulling together for my conference next week.  I can’t wait to show you pictures and share how it went!  

My binders showed up yesterday!  I was sooo relieved.  They put a rush on my order for no extra charge and they got here in one day!  The colors aren’t exactly what I had in mind (particularly the yellow – it was supposed to be more of an orange…), but they are going to have to work!  It has been so fun to go from an idea in my mind, to getting the design on paper, to having the actual product in my hand. 

My aprons are supposed to get here Friday.  You know when you picture something in your mind, and just presume it is going to be that way?  I’m not sure how I got it in my mind, but somehow…. I pictured the aprons coming in a big box all individually wrapped in poly bags – so FLAT bags… WELL… the company called Tuesday and asked if I wanted them on a pallet and shipped freight or in boxes (plural) via UPS.  All the sudden it occurred to me… if they need to be on a pallet, they are taking up much more space that I was thinking… So I asked.. “just how are these packaged?”  (Yeah, I probably should have thought to ask this before… but like I said I had just pictured it in my mind and figured that’s how it as going to be.)  So how do they come?  In INDIVIDUAL boxes….   LOL  So I am getting four HUNDRED individual boxes with aprons on Friday.  LOL  LOL  I mean the individual boxes will come in larger boxes, but this is going to take up WAY more space than I was anticipating!  I’m not sure if we are going to make it in 1 trip (2 hours away) or not…  My husband might have to make a trip as well to help us get it all there!  We shall see!  This is all such a learning process! 

This morning I picked up my 37,312 copies from Staples.  They did all that in 1 day as well!  WOW… I felt really bad for the copy center lady. 

Tuesday I have super good amazing friends coming to help me assemble binders, write coupon codes on post cards etc. 

It’s an adventure for sure!  One that I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience.
