Merry Christmas to All

Blog coming soon about our last day of business before the holiday..... a 40-piece "emergency" order for one of our best customers was filled in 3 hours ( packed and shipped all over the country). Nothing like a little frosting on the season!!!


At the moment, Julie and I are savoring a few days of freedom and normalcy. Playing catch-up for Christmas is always a challenge, but a fun one. Just wanted to take a minute to thank all of our customers for their business, and for all the great feedback we recieved...we so appreciate it!

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all.

Twelve Days and Counting.....

Just a quick entry to note that things are going frighteningly well here in Basketland. All the large orders have been put to bed, including the Monster Order that puts our panties in a bunch each year. (Whew!) Aside from an awesome shipping dude we acquired this year (worth his weight in gold), our extra labor has been minimal.


So it's twelve days and counting until December 23. It's pretty much a love-hate thing this time of year... grueling and gratifying. But no matter what, December 24 is when family time begins, and we can't wait! We both survived crappy 3-week colds and Julie, a nasty stomach bug. On the plus side, neither one of us has snipped finger tips off with scissors or slashed open any body parts with utility knives. No hysterical meltdowns either. I did spill a pile of ravioli in one of my sneakers today, but that was a minor mishap.


Twelve more days? Bring it on...we're ready to handle anything!!!
