Happy Summer! I hope you are enjoying yourselves so far. I know many of you have heard of #throwbackthursday on social media. So this #throwbacksunday. LOL!
Last May, we reactivated our K. Simone Designs greeting card business. Since then, we have been planning and working on some new goals. Doing all this has taken me back down memory. Boy, I have made SO many cards and we were fortunate to have some great experiences, too.
Today, I will be sharing one of my favorite experiences from 2011, our first year in business. Some of you may remember I blogged about our first opportunity to sell our cards at actress Tori Spelling's former store, Inventori. That was such an amazing time and gave us great excitement and joy.

| Ron and I at Inventori. Didn't my card babies look good on that table? :) |
Her staff was so kind and worked well with us.

Then, later that year, I was able to met Tori at a store event. She was so lovely and encouraging.

Hope you all enjoyed this blast to the past and I hope to share any new updates as the year goes on.
Now back to work for this year's cards. Go K. Simone Designs, go! LOL!
So exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteYes it was and thanks for visiting!
DeleteWhat wonderful memory! You haven't changed a bit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Although, I have gained a few extra pounds yeah, I still am the same. :)
DeleteI remember this as though it was yesterday! It was a very exciting time for you and Ron! I thought how awesome to create such beautiful cards that someone would sell them in there shop let alone in Ca. Was that really five years ago Kelly? Time flies doesn't it. I am trying to think back to how long I have been scrapping and how long we have been friends. No matter I love your creativity and the energy you have for all the different aspects of it for example how you taught yourself to draw. I hope you continue to let your creativity grow. You are so AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Cindy! Like I told Nylene, I am so glad I met you gals. All the encouragement and support you still give me is wonderful. I was trying to figure out how long we have been friends. Maybe since 2010? Have to think about that. But thanks again!
DeleteWas that clear back in 2011? I think about it often. I am so glad you are reactivating your card business. More people need to be blessed by receiving one of your beautiful cards! I loved reliving this memory with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nylene! You Two Pea ladies are a big part of why I had the courage to even try to get an opportunity like this. :)
Deletewhat a great memory! Thank you for supporting me these last couple of years!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this on 2peas before I really hung out with the pokey's. So cool. Glad you shared the memory. You're cards are fabulous and I'm very glad that you are reworking your business.
ReplyDeleteThat was SUCH an exciting year for you! :) I hope business is going well again.
