New name.

I really should change 'extra onions' to 'extra lazy'!

I've been good with making 10 cards per week but not so good in posting them! I asked my husband to take pictures tonight and he said yes, after playing his video games... which means, I'll probably post them on Sunday, or Monday.

Anyhoodle, today is a very special day. You know why? I made my first sale! In fact, I made 12 sales today and a couple of orders on the go!

I brought a few of my ready-made cards to work today. Last week, I casually mentioned my new hobby to one of my coworkers and she asked if I could show them to her because she wanted one for Mother's Day. She really liked them and told another coworker and so it began.

A very good day indeed!

I have a few goals this weekend:

1. Post and document new cards
2. Make a selection of Mother's Day cards
3. Personalize a couple of cards already purchased

And as for the name of my 'business'... I like 'extra onions' because I literally do. And I think the name is kind of quirky. I was a little unsure but today someone gave me the reaction I was hoping for. She said, after a little laugh, "that's definitely memorable."

I think her comment has double meaning and that is perfect!
