Today was a good day it was the first "Ransom. Made design" Event. We held it at my mom's house and no one should complain because any friends of mine that are reading this should have gotten an invite. The night before I was finishing up a few things and my husband commented that he wouldn't be surprised if I didn't go to sleep until late anyways because I would be nervous about the "Event". To be quite honest I was nervous but my mom is constantly reading research on small businesses and she knew that it takes 5 years to get a company going well, so in 5 years hopefully I will be making bank. It actually went better than I thought it would go. I earned between $50 and 100 (I know exactly but I think that is private). So I feel pretty good about myself. It gave us (all 6 that were involved) the chance to see what kinds of things would sell and what people liked. We are not done, as I said give us 5 years. We will continue to update our web ransom-made.com to show you the latest items we are creating that are for sale and than in the spring we will host another Event and than continue to host them twice a year, to accommodate the seasons and holidays. So for those of you who missed this one no worries.
I would definitely like to thank all our friends and family that supported us in this endeavor it is really exciting to think my mom's wishes for the past 5 years or so are finally coming true.
( I gotta say that I really like this site already because I don't have to save it automatically does it for me).
Besides that.... since this blog is a lot different from our other one, these entries for now will be done by just me and David might start his own, because if any of you looked at our old blog his interests are very different in what he likes to discuss in his blog entries.
Sami is in bed it is about 8:00 pm she went to bed about 20 min or so ago. Thursday night she went to bed at her normal time (8) and woke up at 10 and decided it was time to play. Since I was up working on stuff and planned on staying up until 12 instead of going to bed at 11, I figured what the heck, she can keep me company. When I finished what I was doing I tried putting her down, yeah right. She was up until 2 am, and of course I kept her company not that my husband got any sleep. She had been showing signs of allergies and thanks to her daddy she gets those at least once a month, and so around 11 I gave her allergy medicine hoping it would help... well just the opposite.... it is non-drowsy and so it gave her all kinds of energy. She talked more that night between 10 and 2 than I have ever heard, it was crazy, she was saying all kinds of things.
So as you could probably guess the next day (Friday) we were both really tired, and so she misbehaved all day. We were over at my mom's getting ready for the event and she just wasn't happy with anything. Her cousin Dylan was over as well (he is 4) and he was playing outside and so I let her go out with him, she crawled through the leaves and had the time of her life, I really need to start carrying my camera with me to capture more of her good moments. She would throw the leaves up in the air and than laugh as they fell down all around her. So cute!
By the time I got her to come in her pants were brown. I striped her down and through her pants in the wash and she just played inside with all sorts of other things and she was happier.
After I got home from the Event we switched places and David went over to play video games with his brother at his brother's house. Sami and me ate macaroni and cheese and watched "FRIENDS". It was some good stuff. I have to organize my craft desk and put stuff away for later but of course I am doing this instead (more fun).
I hope the transition will be easy enough for us (me at least) and I figure it will be since most of the people we know have a blog spot. So Enjoy! And hope you are enjoying the Holiday season that is coming up sooner than we know it.
(We listened to Christmas music at the Event today and I got to listen to my Michael Buble and Mariah Carey Christmas CD.... ohhh love them wouldn't be Christmas without them)
