So my 10 year reunion was this past weekend and I had a blast! It is really neat to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. I have to say that I wish you started high school at age 28. I love the fact that you are not worried about who you are talking to for fear of looking like a geek. There was probably a lot of comparing going on, but overall it was a fabulous time. And lets just say people were SHOCKED/AMAZED that I had 4 kids.
After the reunion my friend Lindsey invited me, Collin and Nick (a guy from school) to go to her in-laws house on Lake Union. The have a VERY nice house over looking the water. Nick was talking about how he got into his position as a Fashion Sales Rep. (not exactly sure of his title). He basically said that he saw an opportunity and took it. Lindsey continued the conversation telling us even if you have an idea that someone else has doesn't mean that you can't run with it. As they were talking I had one of those "ah-ha" moments inside me. I have always had a burning desire to create things. For whatever reason I come up with this ideas and 2 months later they are in the stores. But I think that it is so true with what she said. There are so many dang people in this world that even though there is something similar out there it doesn't mean that you will not be successful at yours. So that leads me to my idea. I am going to try and get my shawls out there. Nick told me where to get some super cute fabrics, so I am SUPER excited! Who knows maybe in 10 more years I will have a really cool story to tell all my classmates ;)
OO..how exciting! You need to start a little online store at Etsy.com!!! It's free!!! Do it!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas and will say "you go girl!" But at the same time i will ad that you did have a really cool story to tell this time around. Just think how many people left that party thinking how awesome it must be to be happily married with all those cute kids :)
ReplyDeleteLove you girl!
You should post a picture of your shawls!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your encouragement! And I was more meaning that it would be cool to say that I came away with this idea from the 10 year. Does that make sense??
ReplyDeleteI have heard of a lot of people who do stuff on Etsy, so I agree that it is a good place to start. You are so creative and I think you should try out your ideas!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful time at your reunion!
