Moneygami to the rescue

My cousin called me, perplexed as to what to give her nephew for gradation from the police academy. She was thrilled with the solution to her dilemma, a Moneygami money shirt kit with the congratulations card! She decked it out with stickers and gems!
Needless to say, Officer Toby was ecstatic when he opened his card and this gorgeous shirt was tucked neatly inside the card!

NEW Packaging!!

If you haven’t visited the website http://www.foldinmoney.com/ lately, please take a gander at all the new packaging we have done! It looks so much more fun and colorful! Did you know that the Design and Card Kit lines now have Holiday cards paired with them? That makes it so much more convenient for all your holiday gifts. Just imagine their reaction when they open the card and discover your thoughtfully designed and decorated cash gift inside. Talk about classy!!!

Guess who’s going to be on TV?

You guessed right! Yours truly will be featured on a segment on the local TV news! It was so exciting to be interviewed by a television reporter. I am so eager to see it when it airs! There was a bit of preparation beforehand thinking of what to say and how to best say it to get the most out of the short time we had. As many of you know, I am a stroke survivor and I have difficulty speaking clearly. Being interviewed on camera was fairly nerve wracking for me; however, it came off without a hitch due to preparation and the reporter also greatly helped me feel comfortable with the whole experience. Those TV folks really know what they are doing! Look for my star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!! LOL

American Made- Women Owned

In my last blog, I spoke of the birthday celebration of our great nation! That leads me into the very foundation of my company. Our company is in not only based in America, but all the products are made in the good ole’ USA as well. America is a place where a woman with a distinct disability can actually form a company and be successful! What a great place to live and thrive. In addition, this company is owned and run by women. That is not something that happens all over the world. Cherish the freedom and thank all veterans for the privilege.

Happy Birthday America!!

I love this country! Sure, it has problems, but the freedom we have is great! Freedom to start your own small business, freedom to follow your dreams! We can all help stimulate the economy by spending money with the small businesses and local farmers that are the backbone of this great land. Take some time and search for smaller businesses that offer that personal touch, many of them are on the internet, so do your part and help them out. In the end, it helps us all!!

Tribute to My Two Dads!

I had a wonderful father while I was growing up. At Christmas time, he would paint the windows with holiday designs, all freehand! All through the year, at holiday times where gift giving was involved, my sister and I would wake up and find a riddle on our pillows. These were actually clues we needed to decipher and follow in order to find our presents. They were always corny, but ever so wonderful. That I believe is where I got the creative gene for my artistic endeavors! (It should also be noted here, that my mother taught me to be creative in a host of other ways, thrifty, silly and loving.) I wish now I had hung on to all those little slips of paper so I could have saved them in a family scrapbook. The world lost a beautiful soul when he passed away in 1975. I forever miss and love him.

However, God does work in wonderful ways and some time after my father’s passing my mother met an absolutely beautiful man. Hal was the most terrific step parent anyone would have a right to ask for. He was a funny, creative, giving, and well educated man. He had a thirst for knowledge and a love of life I always admired. Nothing stopped him. If he started a project and it didn’t go as he had planned, he always found a way to make it work! When the house needed painting, instead of hiring it done, which he could have easily done, he found black paint and white paint on sale. He mixed them up and to everyone’s surprise it was a beautiful silver color. When people asked what color the house was, he would say “It’s Seattle Silver”. I often wonder how many people marched down to local paint store demanding Seattle Silver! I will also love and miss him forever! So if you still have your Dad, love him everyday you can!

Starting Your Own Business

It is an adventure, but it’s much more than that! Think of how many other businesses (large and small) your business will impact. For instance, as with my company, hiring a company to do computer maintenance, an extremely than vital function. So, you hire another business to perform that service for your company. Then there are the taxes, while the day-to-day bookkeeping is handled in-house who has time, or the desire, to keep up on all the tax laws? So you hire a CPA to handle that aspect of your business. There you are, you are already moving the economy along! Did someone say “stimulus”?
Meanwhile the companies that you hired to help your business grow, hire other business to help their business grow and so forth and so on. You know the saying “It takes a village”? The same thing is true in launching, growing and sustaining a business
