Merry Christmas!

Lots to tell about our CRAZY holiday season...coming after the holiday. Right now Julie and I are scrambling to make Christmas happen for our family. Two days isn't nearly enough, but that's all we have!
Wishing all a peaceful and joyous holiday.

Bulletin from Basketland

What else can I say? We're BURIED ALIVE. Due to a tremendous increase in the amount of corporate business we received this year we're now evaulating new orders on an individual basis. We've always felt that putting out a high quality product is preferable to sending out gifts that aren't up to our usual standards....even if it means we leave a few bucks on the table.

Emily, Matt, Ross, Susan, Kayleigh, Sara, Deb, Deanna and Jill are all working hard to help us complete our holiday orders. Sleep has become a fond, distant memory and we're contemplating replacing our water cooler with Red Bull.

Buried!

No, we haven't died...but we are buried. Several of our regular corporate customers put in their holiday orders last week. The monster order that we expected about 3 weeks ago is one of them. We're looking at our calendar, and counting 20 days to complete everything that's come in, plus whatever else happens in the next few weeks. Yikes!!!

The extra elves are being summoned, and truckloads of stock are being ordered. Hopefully, the streamlining we've been working on all year will pay off. We know we'll handle it, whatever it takes...we always do.

The upside is that it's only 20 days of Basket Hell. Wish us luck!
