Very Cool.  This video came from a police dashboard cam…

Friday was our second Farmers Market to sell our jewelry.  We didn’t do nearly as well as we did the last two events.  The best event, hands down, was the Art Fair.

An awful lot of people stopped, picked up a piece, tried it on, lavished us with compliments and told us how much they loved the piece, then put it down and walked away.  Go figure.

I think two things are going on:

1. We have been in the same neighborhood for all our events.  The people who attend these events and would buy from us have already done so.
2. People are cautious about spending money right now on non-necessities for themselves.

Hopefully, the Farmers Market in December will be better for us because it is closer to Christmas.  Also, I think we need to try some other venues to reach a new audience.  We’ll have to see…

So, anyway, I came across this very cool product/service.  In fact my realestatetoolshop.com is offering this to our customers.  It’s a great online real greeting card.  It takes about 5 minutes to send a personalized card that actually is physically stuffed into an envelope, stamped and mailed through the USPS.  Pretty neat

There are lots of cool features like adding a picture to the front and/or inside, personalized font creation, actual signatures, and more.  There are over 13,000 cards to choose from.  I have it set up so my customers can create their own guest account.

Any of you could create one too.  The system will automatically give you enough points and postage to send three cards.  2 regular and 1 with the custom picture.

Give it a try!  Never miss a birthday again!  There is a contact manager complete with fields for b’days and anniversary’s, spouses and children areas too!  Pretty cool.

Well, McCain didn’t make it… 

 Resigned to the fact that Obama won…

Hope and Pray that his presidency keeps us safe.  Hope his actions in the past don’t speak louder than his promise for the future.

The good news is it doesn’t look like the dems have a supermajority in the houses.
