Benefits of working at home

Sometimes it's hard to remember the benefits of working at home. Especially when you have equipment, exact-o knives, & glue everywhere. These types of things don't mix well with kids.

We have products, promotional materials, boxes, postcards, & business cards on every table, fireplace mantel, & flat surface.

Below is our dining room... yes our table is unusable & on it's side.

Our hallway (below) isn't usually this bad... but those of you who've been over to visit us in this house have probably seen similar scenes in our entry way. We usually try to keep it clear on a daily basis... but it always seems to collect boxes.

As you can see below, we are running out of room in our basement & garage for all our boxes, products & packaging. We don't like to stack the boxes on top of each other because we need to be able to get to them easily to “pick” our products on a routine basis.

Our business has officially taken over our entire house including our master bedroom (which is way too filled and embarrassing to show on a blog post.)
Ella & Lily's room are currently “business free.” However, they have not been spared from the effects of having a home business. Their bedrooms are where I send them and their friends to play when I'm afraid someone is going to knock over a display wall, run on top of some vinyl, destroy products, or cut themselves with an exact-o knife... Their rooms are possibly more of a mess than the rest of our house.

We are looking forward to our new house, where there will be a very large designated space just for our business.
