Wait, Paparazzi, Wait - No Photos No Comments!

Okay, so something really funny and exciting happened to me today and it caught me off guard.  I am a creative business owner during the evenings, but by day - I am the manager of a retail store about 30 minutes away from home.  I don't really talk about one while at the other very often because of my commitment to making both work + it always makes me feel icky talking about one while at the other, but I digress...so I am training a new employee and we were talking for a few minutes about our iPhones and I showed her my cute cover (which I made using my little Kathryn from my stationery) and this really funny thing happened...

the new employee mentioned to me that...her mother was opening a new jewelry business out 40/42 in Clayton, and that there was a lady opening a shop there that made the cutest stationery with little people...

and - she was talking about ME!  That's right - ding, ding, ding, bells and whistles and all...my new employee at my job's mother is opening a creative jewelry shop...in the same building as...ME + she is recommending me to people that she knows...because my stationery is really cute and adorable!

Now, for those of you that know me well enough to hear me talk about my two jobs, you know that my secret desire is for someone (that doesn't know both sides of me...AKA...my split-work personalities...oops, I'm rambling again...

I want someone that doesn't know it - to mail me a note on one of my own note cards or stationery items.  I think that would be the cutest...most adorable way for me to know that I have finally arrived...been discovered...am making a difference and that secretly Paparazzi will start stalking me because I have reached celebrity status.

At least - that was my little dream goal in life...until today - when someone recommended that I check out this cute new stationery shop opening up with her mom's jewelry shop and she was recommending I buy my own stationery.

Scratch the old goal...new goal-have more really sweet people recommend that I buy my own stationery!  I almost died laughing when I realized she was talking about me.

Now - if you want to keep me laughing - the fall off my chair and snort Mt. Dew up my nose kind of laughing - PLEASE comment to me below with the one thing that really shocked you in your business or the one moment that really made you feel like you were doing the right thing in your biz at the right time! And, don't worry, I don't bite...I love to hear your comments...and I really do sometimes laugh so hard that my Mt. Dew goes up my nose.  But, now - my cupcakes?  They always hit my mouth - so I never snort my favorite Simply Cinnamon cupcakes!

And...this is the best part all commenters to this post will receive a special handwritten thank you note as my little way of saying a personal thank you for taking your time to comment on my newly discovered fame!

xoxo,

PS The actual employee listed in this post has had her name omitted to protect her privacy to prevent Paparazzi from stalking her...seriously?  just kidding about the stalking...I told her I would be blogging about this because it was soooooo funny!
