SALES PITCH AGAIN

The shop which I was supplying with my wee cards is under new management, and they are moving to another area of Auckland. 

So, I have an appointment today to see the new Sales Manager with a view to them continuing to stock my cards.

As I have already had a good talk with  him in person I am fairly confident he will still want my cards (he hasn't seen my cards as they sold out of them)... but you never know until they take them eh?  Fingers crossed...


ABOVE:  a very rare white Kiwi, born at Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre. He is the first white kiwi to be breed in captivity and he has been named 'MANUKURA' which means "of chiefly status".  He is not an albino either... he's just white,  which is extremely rare.  I hope he does well. (The kiwi is our national bird.)

What else?  Once I get home I'm going to read blogs and just do a big catch up. 

ONWARD...

The last thing I said to Steve last night was "Don't let me forget my appointment at the shop tomorrow".
This is what I found when I got up this morning!


ABOVE:  somehow I don't think I am going to forget!  lol

ABOVE:  our son Russell and baby Sienna.... what an awesome photo!  So very glad I can pinch their photos off Facebook!  lol

EXCITEMENT abounds!!  Coco has gone into season... so in 10 days she bonks her boyfriend (who she ain't met yet..lol) and in two and a half months we will have puppies (all going well).

Good news! The new shop Manager took me cards again.. AND he wanted the larger cards too... and paid in cash on the spot...so I'm wrapt.  

End of Day: spent the evening doing bugger all... have felt COLD today!
nite nite.

    I have a girl Teddy called Tammy who chews and bites her feet skin etc and I find that keeping her fur real real short (she has some lovely jumpers) has fixed this problem.hopes this helps. Lee-AnneL.

  13. Hi stranger - remember me? I'm back making yet another attempt to be a better blog reader, you'd think working full time and raising 2 kids would give me an excuse to be slack with blogging!

    Besides I better keep up more often, seems every time i stop reading your blog for a bit I come back to find you've gained a dog or a grandchild ;-)

    And of course they would want the cards - who wouldn't want to stock your masterpieces? Congrats too on the news about Emily - I was in a harnes for a few months as a baby and from what my mum tells me it was a really tough time!
