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!!
