Yes another commercial...

There is a goose under my hood...

Okay, so when it comes to cars I am really clueless. I know how to check the oil, tire pressure, and fill the washer fluid but that is really about it. But my husband is always telling me that I need to listen to our van. Listen for any funny sounds that it might be making. Things of that nature, so when the car is actually quiet enough I do in fact try to do that.

So today I had a moment, I had just taken the littlest two to McDonald's for our Friday afternoon lunch, and while they were quietly munching in the back seat I thought I should enjoy this moment and turn the radio down. So I am driving along and I hear this faint honking noise. I can not even begin to fully describe it, and I think "oh my gosh is that my brakes!? You have got to be kidding me, I have never heard them make this kind of noise before." But as soon as I complete the thought the noise stops. Okay, further down the road now and we are not stopping and here again is that faint honk, now I really must be losing it. What on earth could be doing that...I slow down a little to try and really focus on what direction it might be coming from so I can give as many specifics as possible to the husband later. Then once again it stops.

At this point I fully convinced that I need to either 1. Pull over and listen intently or 2. Go home immediately before the van blows up or 3. I really need a nap. We decide that we are going to go with option 1, so I pull into the nearest parking lot, put the van in park ( can you believe me children are still quiet threw out all of this?) and listen. I mean that eyes darting back and forth, head cocked like a curious puppy listening. And here comes the honk...honk... honk...and I turn around to realize that my 2 year is having the time of her life pulling her straw in and out of her cup...honk... honk... honk! At least my husband will be proud that I finally took his advice and listened to our van.

I did it! OMG!

Okay I am not one to toot my own horn, but I had my first sale in my online shop! I could not believe it! Now you have to understand that I have sold things before, but this was different because this was something I made with my own hands! I am currently a rep for TopLine Creations and Cello In A Box, and anytime I have had sales with them it is exciting also. But this was different. I have been going back and forth with the idea of doing greeting cards for a couple of years now and so I finally took a leap and set up shop. I have not been able to devote as much time to it as much as I would like, but I have to say that I am quite proud of the items I have listed. But I really wasn't expecting much, most people have never even heard of etsy! So to see that I actually had a sale was probably the most exciting experience I have had in a long time. Something that I made with my own hands some one thought was good to spend there money on.


But this got me thinking...


I wondered how many company's still get excited over their sales? I mean almost each and every sale... do they still take the time to personally thank each customer for their business? I hope that I never become so big that I forget this feeling, one of complete gratitude. So to my first customer , thank you.



Here is a picture of the card that was bought! I have to say it was one of my favorites. When I put the package in the mail, it was a weird feeling, like I was mailing a little part of myself away.

Oh well I guess that is something I will get used to. If you have some spare time take a look around Etsy... http://www.etsy.com and make sure to visit my shop http://www.kieshaskrafts.etsy.com . I am sure that you will find something that you will like ( well almost sure) :)
