New Rock Kit

Posted on December 13, 2009 by MobymomDecember 13, 2009

I’m very proud of myself… I created a new product for our rock company! I’m calling it the Little Kid Rock Kit. We have had lots of people ask about kits for younger kids and we weren’t sure how to do it and had kind of decided it was not possible. Primarily, the problem was getting a nice selection of stones that were too big to swallow and not too expensive, yet pretty and interesting.

So I got to thinking about it and we get wholesale tumbled stones and they offer a extra large sized selection, so I figured out the nice collection that is not too expensive. And I found a pretty velour pouch that they all can fit into. And I’ll have a nice little brochure so that parents can answer the “what’s this” and “what’s that” that will happen over and over! Each of the stones that I picked are different and easy to ID so that it’s easy on us parents.

Jessy was so proud of me! We’ll have them ready first of the year I suppose. I just love the photo of them… they are so pretty! I know little kids will love these special treasure collections!!!

OH MY GOSH>>>> I GOT MY FIRST FAN MAIL GIFT!!!!

I was so excited! You just can’t imagine! Pat from Texas sent me a book about a suddenly single lady homesteading in the wilds of Minnesota!!!! OH MY GOSH, I read it that very day, the whole day! I couldn’t stop! I curled up in my snuggy bed with all my kittys around me and I read and read and read… it was so good.

And the very fact that someone took it on themselves to send me such a sweeeet gift and all, that just made my day! Let me tell you! Thanks Pat! You gave me a reason to take a day off from all the rock and mineral work and recharge my batteries a bit!

So sweeeeeet! Gosh, I feel like a real blogger now.

If anyone else wants to send me goodies… hahaha…. chocolate is always good! hee hee hee… Naw, it’s not required here at the Mobile Home Woman…. I just luvs ya all to pieces!!!

I mean, it’s great… when I don’t blog for a day or two I get people emailing me and all, making sure I’m alive! That’s so sweet. I sometimes wonder why anyone would be that worried about someone that they never met or hardly know, but I read blogs too and I shed a tear when Jenna’s farm critters were in trouble and when other bloggers have a hard time and I feel it, so I guess I’m at least interesting enough for folks to keep tabs on me and the Kitty Ranch here… hahaha…. 4 cats, oh please Lord help me… it’s already starting… I am becoming the Mobile Home Woman!

Thanks again gang! And mucho thankos to Pat!!! Great book!!!

Newsletter Kitty

If we’re doing anything on the work table, Jack has to be there to supervise. He’s just like that. All work, no play.

Well, not really, he’s quite the goofy character.

We were dilligently folding and stapling and stuffing over 400 newsletters for the Opry and Jack came in from the cold and promptly deposited himself right in the middle of the action. As if to say, okay, carry on, I’m here.

Let me tell you, 400 newsletters is a lot of work. Jeff came over and helped and we two worked a good 3 hours on it and then Jessy, Maggie and I spent another 2 hours stamping and addressing them all! I hope it was worth it.

I think it was. I had at least one lady at the Opry come up and introduce herself and mentioned that she didn’t know about the Opry until she got the newsletter! So that made my day.

It’s a nice newsletter… I like doing it. I’m not as fond of folding and all that, but hey, it’s part of the game!

Here’s what 400+ newsletters look like….
