Plug it in, plug it in!

Today's entry is really nothing more than a shameless plug for my beautiful wife's fledgling company, Jennydoll.  She got the idea a few years ago and it's slowly coming around.  She does a little bit of everything creative, really.  She makes little girl's dresses, invitations, thank you cards and other stationary, floral designing, wedding/event planning or coordinating, and (most importantly - to me, at least)  baked goods, such as cupcakes, cookies, and full sized cakes.  Man, is she awesome!

She's going to have a table at the "Alumni-Owned Business Show" during Fontbonne University's Alumni Weekend coming up here at the end of the month, so hopefully that'll give her a boost - at least spread the word to a whole buncha people, if not sell a bunch of stuff, too!

I know that this is something she's wanted to do for a long time - it's something she just really enjoys doing.  Maybe one of these days she'll be able to do it full time and make a living at it.  I guess that's one silver lining on the dark cloud that is our unemployment: we have more time to work on the creative things we love to do.  It would be awesome if both of us could actually end up doing something we love for a living!  That, to me - not slaving away at some corporate job, or any other job just because it pays well and you can impress your neighbors - is the American Dream, my friends.  Be happy.

Anyway, today's stroke is for my Jennydoll.  It's a little swatch of pink and purple, the colors of her logo.  I love ya, baby!  Good luck with following your dreams!  :-)
