Spring/Summer is Here!

I cannot believe that we are already into the second week of shows! Time flies when you are having fun, right?

I am too sleepy to post too much right now (and can you believe that I have been texting up until now with a Rep that is STILL taking orders at her show...talk about dedication!) but I did want to share a few things:

1. This season is starting off with a bang, with some wonderful (thanks, everyone!) feedback from our Representatives, Hostesses and customers. I am proud to say that everyone seems genuinely thrilled with the samples and their choices this season, and we couldn't be more excited!

2. We had a GREAT photo shoot with Kate Byars of Atlanta last Friday... www.katebyarsphotography.com . I cannot say enough about her. Aside from being IMMENSELY talented, she is excellent with children, and everyone wanted to go home with her when it was over. Check out her blog to see some of the pictures from the shoot (www.katebyarsphotography.com/blog) and some others that she has taken. If you are in or even around Atlanta, or in New Orleans, and need a photographer, look no further.

Here are a few pictures from the shoot:

More to come soon...we are still updating the pictures on the gallery portion of the Web site, but all of that should be complete in the next few days!

Some Pictures...

Here is part of the trunk, but not the entire thing. We should have all of it up on the Web site soon! Enjoy!

Under Pressure...

You know the song...the one that sorta sounds like Vanilla-one-hit-wonder-Ice in the beginning (didn't he get sued for that, btw?)...by David Bowie and Queen...

That song has been running through my head since Thanksgiving, the theme song of the last couple of months, living life, loving my family and working on trunks.

And now they are finished.

Yep, trunks shipped yesterday. Such a strange feeling - such a relief, but at the same time, a new different kind of stress. I am sure that most of you go through the same thing, be it at work, school, with your children, wherever. That feeling of lightness that comes with the completion of something, but then you are almost instantaneously brought back down with concern/anxiety over the finished product itself, or some other obstacle just around the corner.

I have told you all this before, but shipping the trunks out is sort of like putting your child on the bus for the first day of school (and before you all shoot me a nasty message - no, I DO NOT think the trunks are as important as my children :). You are so excited, but worried for them too. Will they be okay? Will others like them? Will everyone else see them the way you do, or are they not really as spectacularly fantastically friggin' awesome as you think they are?

Only time will tell. I will say that this is the best trunk Three Mommas has ever offered, with more fabrics, styles, smocking designs, appliques, etc. than ever before. But it isn't just quantity - everything has a freshness, a soft-type of whimsy to it that was simply missing other seasons.

But who knows? To each her own, and you might disagree. Maybe you will see it and immediately want to laugh at it, steal its lunch and stick a "kick me" sign on its back??!!

Either way, let us know what you think! Pictures of the entire trunk will be posted in the next couple of days!!
