The Year in Review

Wow, looking back over the last year gives me the chills...I've been preparing for taxes this evening and I've been reviewing my total sales from SparklePuss, FourSeasonsFragrance and weeLUXURIES.com. Very interesting.

The websites are performing well, though we need to see some more action on the weeLUXURIES.com site, but that doesn't surprise me. As I looked over invoices, I remember slogging through each and every orders. NOTHING was easy this year. Thankfully, I didn't have any MORE business, I'm really grateful!

This year is different already, though. I'm getting to orders much faster and can feel the heaviness lifting!! YAY!

I need to redirect the blogs from the other sites to come here, so I can just have ONE place to blog. Yippee.

Had a great day with my sister trying to set us both up on eBay...what a LAUGH! She's on a Mac, I'm on a PC and though I have wireless she had to buy a 25' ethernet cord...what a day! I'm still trying to convince myself that eBay is going to be at all profitable...the fees are outrageous (not to mention the PayPal fees)!! Doesn't that qualify as a monopoly or something illegal!?!! :) But what really keeps me going is thinking about all the fresh new friends and customers I have yet to meet...so I keep listing auctions and opened an eBay store (again) today. I find eBay extremely NON-user friendly...it just isn't intuitive for me like Etsy is...but I'm going to give it 3 to 6 months and see what happens!

Have a great week!

Blogging Away

I suppose I'll go ahead and blog here...insane to try to keep 4 or 5 separate blogs going!

FourSeasonsFragrance.com is launching our 16th fragrance, Red Hot Valentine!

RED HOT VALENTINE scent description...This FRESH, zesty fragrance is YOUR scent for Valentine's Day. Exuberant, sparkling and delicious. It allures with an exotic blend of red raspberry, lychee and effervescent golden apple. It tempts with romantic rose and creamy vanilla. It seduces with a sheer blend of patchouli and warm amber. Fun. Flirty. Feminine.

I want to find a way to keep customers updated about their order status. Working on that.

makeScentsLLC.com will launch in the next few months...it is going to take some time to organize the shopping cart for all three divisions, SparklePuss, Four Seasons Fragrance and weeLUXURIES.com

I keep fiddling with my mailing lists...I think I have it down finally!

And for my Mary Kay customers, I have launched ibuymakeup.com ! The EASY way to place your order! I have had so much fun putting it together, too! Hope you like it!

AromaMatrix.com is my newest endeavor...hoping to grow that into its' own in 2008.

I just love what I'm doing!!! But even better I LOVE being a mom and wife! Having kids is the BEST and none of this would happen without my fantastic man! He supports us while I run around like a chicken with my head cut off most of the time! We wouldn't want it any other way! :)

Have a wonderful week!

We're an LLC

Wahoo, I feel so official!

I wanted to name us Identity Crisis, LLC, but someone beat me to it!

So alas, SparklePussGROUP is now makeScents, LLC...I like the double meaning. make scents and makes cents!
