The Sewing Mom

I’m anxiously waiting for the mailman, I’m hoping a particular package gets delivered today.

Last Sunday, I ordered my official business cards for “The Sewing Mom”, my newly created sewing/crafting business. It was fun to create my own card online at VistaPrint.com. I was able to pick out my own graphic and I chose spools of thread. Then I chose the background colors and font colors and type style. It was really so easy, I can’t wait to see what they look like in person. I received an email a few days ago that they had been shipped.

I noticed while I was at their website, that they sell many other things besides business cards. In fact, truth be told, I also ordered coordinating return address labels while I was there! I even considered business card size magnets and writing pens with The Sewing Mom printed on them, but decided to wait, it would have been very easy to get carried away!

Besides business tools, they also sell other items that I may be ordering this week and that’s birthday invitations. I promised my daughter that we’d sit down this weekend and make plans for her birthday which is less than a month away. We’re sort of thinking of doing a movie themed sleepover party. I think it would fun to mail out save the date announcements to her friends instead of a formal birthday invitation, it would be something different and unique. Plus, if I use the coupon code “BlogAnnounce10″ I can get 10 free announcements when I checkout.

So, that’s my plans for the weekend, planning a birthday party, waiting for the mailman, and sewing. Oh, I also promised my daughter I would teach her how to make a zipper bag this weekend! Looks like my daughter and I are going to be busy this weekend.
