The Label! (Can I Get a Drumroll?)

I mentioned that I was picking up my fancy schmancy mailing labels from Julie last night, and I did. They are SO awesome; I just love them! Hopefully the label, combined with the red (Ruby red! Get it?) envelope, will make the recipients drop everything to find out what could be inside the gorgeous packaging. (It'll be my fancy schmancy business card, along with either a letter and a sales sheet for the book, or my fancy schmancy business card, along with a press release, which I color-copied for free, as you'll remember, from FedEx/Kinkos!)

Want to see the label? Here it is:

I covered up my address, so you'll have to use your imagination in that area.

Isn't it cool? Wouldn't YOU love to get something with a label this nice on it? Props to Julie; as usual, dazzling artwork. :)

I'm getting my pet boutique letters out today, as well as the rest of the press releases. I can't wait to get the other letters out! My goal is to have them in the mail by Saturday morning.

Have a great day! More later!

Just an Ordinary Day, I Guess...OR IS IT??

Well, after the "whirlwind" of birthdays lately (ha ha: the last two days!) I was going to be sorry to say that it is nobody's birthday today--in my family, that is. Then I was checking a couple of the blogs I now read daily and discovered that it is Kat's Mom's birthday today! Woo hoo! So Happy Birthday to Kat's Mom!

I have added Kat's blog down there to the right, as well as Katie's and Karyn's. (It must be a good day for women whose names begin with "K"!) *LOL* Check them out when you get a few minutes!

Book news? I am picking up my fancy-schmancy mailing labels from Julie this evening (yes, she designed those, too!) so that I can begin mailing letters to different types of businesses: pet boutiques, pet cemetaries, vets, shelters, and various publications to try to get reviews as well.

I finished the pet boutique letters yesterday afternoon. I am starting in the Chi-town area with those and "oozing" outward. Today I am hoping to get the pet cemetary and shelter letters done, and then we'll see how long it takes me to do the rest.

I placed my bulk order for books yesterday, so I can take my time on the "Would you please review me" letters. There are probably a million--okay, that's exaggerating, sorry--vets in this area, so that will probably take me a while.

Busy times! I work at the salon this afternoon, tomorrow, and Friday, so I guess the book is going to get squeezed in during the early a.m.'s for the next couple of days! (and I'm starting the countdown to Friday...)
