The first wave of orders is out the door! Sweet relief! I think the tally was 21 orders in the last seven days. I know it doesn't sound like much to some - but given that these are wholesale orders as opposed to single retail orders means that every order has many many many componants so they took longer to pull together.
I still have a second wave that has to go out early next week - not to mention the fact that I just got two more orders and two more requests for information - and then a third wave to go out the second week of November. But I honestly think the worst of it is over and I'm taking the afternoon to breath, reclaim the house (which doubles as my packaging and mailroom), and take stock of where I am with production (all of it's gone) and where I need to be both in terms to fill these next two waves of orders and in terms of getting a slight lead on the holiday season. Though since I'm mostly wholesale orders I'm hoping that the holidays shouldn't be too nuts for me and that the truly nutso part is right now.
Phew - feels good to have that first wave out!
