Business Time......

I must tell about the exciting events that are happening for me here in Lloydminster!!!!

If you have not yet heard I have started a business! It is a vinyl sign making company (quite popular for you folks in southern AB and even Edmonton and Calgary. The fad that has come from where?!? Utah of course.

Starting my own business was never something I really wanted to do (except perhaps a preschool which may happen someday... or maybe not).... but having been here in Lloyd now for 3 full months (especially without being able to teach) I have been going bonkers with boredom. The suggestion came from a few different people (Ian was one of them) and I thought it through a bit and figured.... why not!!! It was something that was possible without too many start up costs and no one in my area seems to be doing the same thing. The real seller for me was when I learned a friend in our branch owns a store in the area and was looking to switch suppliers for the same type of products. It was a guarantee with a busy store to sell the products in so I was SOLD! I don't know how things will go as far as making any large amounts of money but for me it is about doing something I enjoy and keeping busy. So with our first large order in (75 items) I will be quite busy for the next little while... especially if I get into the huge craft fair here in November which I am still waiting to hear word on.

So I know there are many others who do the same thing (and probably closer to where you are) but please keep me in mind if you are looking for vinyl wall decor, custom wooden plaques and tiles. I included just a couple pictures of the first few samples made.... These are just the start as well... I have more designs coming and hopefully a website in the coming months.
