ScrappinWAHM’s Journal

I’m going to add a new category called “Show Off!”  Seems I often come across requests for layout submissions, some are sent to me, some via Goggle - but it seemed like it was going to waste in my email.  So I’m going to start listing them here-by deadlines.  Heck - today I received learned of 3 new Publication Calls!  And so this category is for all of you-go ahead Show Off!

The post office has developed a new pre-made box that is 15×15 especially for scrapbookers, but they haven’t made it available to the public yet since they don’t know if there are enough people who would use it. If you think it would be helpful, please go to http://www.scrapyourtrip.com and sign the virtual petition on the front page. It is called the “Julie” box.

What a great thing to have out there available to the general public!  I signed the petition-it took 2 minutes of my time!  Think of the possibilities for sending scrapbook related items, gifts, etc. through the mail!

I’ve been an online WAHM for almost 2 years now.  When I first started, I was concerned that I would feel somewhat alone. Who knew that I would meet such awesome women and create some great business relationships?  Who knew that 2 years later I would be the owner of 3 websites, co-owner of one other site, have 2 different direct sales businesses, and be on the verge of a HUGE joint venture!?

The WAHM Project was conceptualized a couple of weeks ago when Anita came across a website which lead her to the software she’d been looking for! (Can you tell I’m going to be a little vague here? )  She emailed me, and I emailed Val and that was the day the Universe shifted for the 3 of us! 

We’ve got the domain name-yet to be revealed.  And the software has been purchased, and is giving Val fits as she finds time to learn yet another new thing!  (The learning never really ends.) And now we’re in the planning stages!  All I can say is-it’s gonna be BIG!  And more will be revealed before the big launch this fall - so stay tuned!
