(P)review, Product Inventory Edition

Dear Readers,

This week we received boxes upon boxes of goodies. And they’re all for YOU!

On Wednesday, our UPS guy joked that his goal was to fill our entire meeting table with boxes. That happened pretty darn quick.

What is it all for? Well, we are still working on putting everything together and tying it with a pretty bow before we present the big news to you all. But you can expect to receive all the juicy details within the next two weeks!

We unpacked everything, and now it feels like the chaotic aftermath of a 5 year old’s birthday party. You know, when the ripped open boxes and bits of shredded wrapping paper cover the floor? That’s our office today.

But at least now everything is accounted for, marked with stickers, and tucked away on new shelves.

In other new, Kristen got a new sketchbook! She is enjoying a break from last week’s hustle and bustle, and collecting ideas for the next project…
