Weekend Wind-Down #134

I know I must've said it over the past couple of Weekend Wind-Down posts but dammit, one of these days I'm gonna get back on track and actually post it on a Sunday! As usual, the past week got pretty hectic and then it spilled over into the weekend. A couple of huge orders landed in our collective lap and we ended up spending most of the weekend manufacturing, packaging, and packing. Knowing that the next couple of weeks were going to be jam-packed, we buckled down and took care of business. Nowadays, it's good to have a side hustle and, quite frankly, the hustle has been good to us...so we have to respect the hustle...

While Missy sorted a mess of ONE INCH BUTTONS into little bio-degradable baggies, I worked on packaging individual NOTEPADS:



STEP ONE:



STEP TWO:



STEP THREE:



Then, repeat steps one thru three several hundred times...









As we worked, we put on different movies and documentaries in the background to help keep us motivated...
