Caroleen’s Treasures

I have so much to blog about that I didn’t know where to start. There are so many good things happened that I don’t know if I am just dreaming. First, orders kept coming in the way I didn’t expect but really really wanted. After delivering the orders last Sunday, I was praying nobody will call me about wanting cloth diapers or baby slings because laundry piled up in the other room and if you’ve been following my blog…you know I don’t want to do it one batch at a time. So God heard it and he really didn’t send anyone my way for orders. Someone did asked for a quote for diapers and a sling while on our way home that night and I was happy she still need a little time since she can’t access my multiply site for the fabric and sizing. So yesterday I spent more than 12 hours doing the laundry. Imagine that!

Second thing to be thankful for is gaining new friends. Doing a business is very wonderful because you are not only making money but friends as well. This is why I wanted to deliver the stuffs myself so I could meet my clients. When I woke up Monday morning, I was so horrified to see an email with a subject: POSSIBLE ORDER sent from someone in Mandaluyong. Who would not be horrified if you are praying for a laundry day? Although I was afraid I might not be able to get the laundry done (and we will all go naked), I am also very thankful for it. We have been barely making ends meet the past weeks because we are still paying off debts from Eman’s hospitalization and etc. Through exchanging emails, we became friends and later did I know she and her husband are doctors. She said she saw my site when she searched for baby stuffs and because my cloth diapers looked so appealing to her, she wanted to get a dozen for her baby.

The third reason is getting some more orders! Yay! This means I can buy a cheapo playpen for the little guy and pick a toy or two at Toy Kingdom!!!! Not very soon because I still have to save but since Donald said he earned a little more this payday, I can set aside money from my little business so I can get the most needed playpen. Of course I will get a toy that lights and make sounds so Donald and I can work longer. I got him a few pieces of soft toys from Ukay-Ukay but when he got oral thrush I have to put it away. So he is playing with the little container of candy mint, his big sister’s PINK toy, (I don’t know what it’s called but it’s a heart shaped locket that has some candies inside) and her big sister’s PINK flash light.

I should get him a toy for little boys before he decides his favorite color is PINK.
