Release Day

 

I’ve escaped my desk for a little bit to visit and blog 🙂 Today is release Day for the Clear Stamps at Some Odd Girl. I actually just got home from running the first three orders to the post office to get them out before it closed. Aren’t the packages cute?

We’ve had quite an emotional day… of maybe I’ll say “I have.” We ran up to town today and picked up more copy paper (I can’t believe we were so low!) and the Dymo Endicia label/postage printer and scale. I felt weird and sort of bad leaving the house on today of all days, there were a ton of things to do but no paper, no printing orders 😉

We picked up the Dymo Printer and Scale on sale at Office Max and I was super excited, I thought that this would be soooo helpful getting packages ready and out the door without hubs having to use his lunches at work waiting in line at the post office.  Well, we are still getting it set up (still being the operative word here) but so far this thing has been the most frustrating piece of equipment EVER. I had to walk off from it and if you know me I usually stubborn it out till the bitter end.

I left it to poor hubs.

I’m sure that smart man of mine can figure it out, and probably before I’m done writing this post, but I was frustrated to the point of tears! Normally not something that would happen but the last couple of days have been nothing but nervous energy, then last night there was a copycat selling poorly ripped off images, this morning one of our images was found being redistributed then the whirlwind this morning… that label maker was the last straw.

PHEW.

Tonight I am going to take it easy and work on some fun chibis and have a daiquiri… or two 😉

All in all this day was wonderful and if any indication for the future… well I might shed a few more tears, but not ones of frustration this time, simply ones of relief.

    Congrats on release day!!

    Sorry to hear about people trying to rip off your artwork.. that totally sux.. As much as imitation is the biggest form of flattery.. it’s still a horrible feeling to feel like someone has stolen your hard work..

    All be best with the postage machine!! Enjoy the chibi creating and daiquiries!! 🙂

    SO very proud of you and happy that this day has finally arrived! those copycats SUCK, and obviously the culprit has already been reprimanded to the point where her stuff has been removed from the whole wide web… that’s a relief!

    wanna come over and work on invitations with me? i’m SO not having fun with them.
