BiG bIg BIG BIG news!!!!

OK.  So I have been pretty vague on Twitter about some news that is about to change my business.  BIG time!  And I feel pretty comfortable sharing it with you now, even though it's not in full affect yet.  But I just got the green light and was told that it would happen as long as I approve of some things.  Please note that this is NOT in affect yet.  Likely will not be for at least 2 more weeks.  I will announce when it is in affect, because then it will effect you as my customers.  But I know you'll all be thrilled with this news... at least I think you might.  I am OVER THE MOON about it.  OK.  Enough babbling.  I have held out long enough and I am bursting with excitement, because my business is going to a WHOLE NEW level.  Ready?

I have partnered with a mom owned business to sew 90% of my camera strap slipcovers!!!!!
Basically they are a very very small scale manufacturer.
Ummm, I am squealing as I type this, because it's making it more real!  I never in a MILLION BILLION years thought *Shey*[B] would come this far, but I can not tell you enough how excited I am.  How proud I am of myself.  And how truly truly thankful I am for ALL OF YOU!  God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams.

I will still be making some camera strap slipcovers (i.e. Couture, Chic, Burlap, etc. etc.), but having this company manufacture most of them will A. Give me more time with my KIDS!  And B.  More time to focus on NEW DESIGNS AND PRODUCTS!  My passion in my business is designing.  I adore coming up with new designs.  Having an idea in my head come to life is a feeling I just can't express in words.  But I get pure joy from coming up with the newest latest designs.  So I am so excited about this that I could do 50 cartwheels in my front yard.  And I just might.  :)

This will also take my turnaround time down from the horrid ONE MONTH to about 2-3 days!!!!!!!!  Yes.  TWO - THREE DAYS!  Eeeek!!!!

Remember... This is NOT in affect yet!  But I will definitely let you know when it is!  I need to approve the prototypes and then we are under way!

So... what do you think?  Was this news worth waiting for or what?!?!?!

I love you all!  Thank you for the encouragement, the nice comments, and all the love you give me each and every single day!

xoxo!!
