Well, May was an exciting month for us. Denise, Paul, and I spent 5 nights, 6 days in New York for the National Stationery Show to launch our company to the stationery universe. We crammed my Honda with our booth stuff, plugged in our Playlist of '70s & '80s tunes and hit the road. The three of us haven't traveled together since the late '80s, so needless to say, we were all curious to see how it was going to go, especially staying in one hotel room! I'm happy to report, we survived with only a few minor incidents. I won't talk about how my brother left the car lights on while we spent three hours setting up the booth on Friday afternoon and had to call AAA to get a jump and he pretended for at least 20 minutes that he had no idea why the battery was dead. I'd hate to throw him under the bus, so I won't mention it. And then, there was the time later (much later) that night when Paul and I were in the bathroom blowing up the Aerobed thinking we were quietly whispering/laughing while Denise was asleep because she'd been awake for 4 million hours after her night shift when she was really awake pretending to be asleep so we wouldn't get louder. That would be embarrassing, so I'll leave that part out. What I will talk about, however, is how pumped we are that we actually had 5 sales at the show! I'll also mention that people were literally belly-laughing in our booth as they were reading the cards on the walls, which means there are people in the world (other than our mother) who think our cards are funny. It was a great show and we're so excited to keep going and build on what we've started. Check out our new cards and let us know what you think!
