Well I just thought I should let everyone know (since you were just dying to know. ha!) that I thought of a name! My business IS now called "Uniquely Sass". I will be selling handmade Jewelry, handmade purses, and depending on how my DIY projects go for the wedding maybe even handmade invitations, place cards, programs, etc! YAY! I'm so excited! :D
Here is my website: www.uniquelysass.com
I just started so I don't have much on it yet, hehe :P. In the future I plan on having a much nicer looking site. But for now, this shall do.

My business
Since my fiance started up his own business I have been thinking a lot of all the businesses I hope to own someday, or how we could possibly expand his in the future. I'm a big time planner even though I realize things usually don't go according to plan, its just what I do and I have fun thinking about it. Anyways, since the type of businesses I would like to own won't become a reality anytime soon (if ever) I have been thinking about the small "business" I already have, or should I say had?
When I was a freshman in high school I started designing and selling handmade jewelry. It was just something I did on the side for fun. I occasionally held "jewelry parties" and sold my items to anyone interested. Some people I knew even offered to help sell my items to people they knew. I even had "employees" (my cousins who helped "design" new things, which was paid by commission). I kept tack of EVERYTHING and was very organized, which is why I will be dealing with the money and paperwork for Tommy's business. I received a lot of compliments, orders, and was even told a few times I should rent a booth of some sort at a craft fair or sell them online. I always wanted to expand my "business" but never got around to it. Then eventually I just stopped.
Now, I'm thinking of starting it up again and actually making the business official. Business cards, a website, you name it. I want it all and Tommy is all for it and supports me 100%. Even though I'm anxious to start it up again right now, I will be waiting till after we're married when things have "cooled down" and I can devote more time to it.
Now all I need is a catchy name. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

Exciting news: My fiancé is a business owner!
Yeah that's right! My future hubby (wow, I normally hate that word yet here I am using it. I must be in a good mood) has his own business. Last week Tommy officially started it up, put up his website, and got some awesome looking business cards. He had been working towards it for a few months and now it is finally a reality. I'm still a bit skeptical about its possible progress not because I have no faith in him but because well I'm a worrier which comes with the territory of anxiety and because the economy is as we all know, down the toilet. But I am trying to ignore my feelings and be positive. That's another thing, I'm generally a negative person but I'm trying to break out of that.
So today he went out looking for potential customers. The response was great. 90% of it was positive and that was only within one city. I can't wait to see how this works out for him. Everyone seems to be impressed by his website and business cards, even those who are usually a little tactless when it comes to saying things and only put people down. So maybe my pessimistic attitude really IS all for nothing. I can only hope.
A little info on how he got into this and what his business is based on. Long story short, we know someone who owns the same type of business that Tommy is now into. When he found out that Tommy was engaged and looking for a job he offered to teach Tommy what he does so he could eventually start up his own business, basically to help him out out of the kindness of his own heart. Which is where we are now. Tommy is now an "Auto Decor Specialist." This is the first time I've ever heard of this particular title, but what he offers isn't anything new to me. It's a mobile business so Tommy will be going from auto body shops and car dealers to do a few "Decor" jobs on cars when something needs to be done that they can't do themselves or don't do well. Things like pin striping, wheel wells, blackout tape, applying decals, and stone squares. Tommy LOVES it. He says he has so much fun doing it and sometimes see some really awesome cars (muscle cars!). Apparently not many people in our area do this type of work, and the man who helped Tommy only has 3% of the auto body shops in the LA county area so everything else is basically up for grabs. The odds seem to be in our favor. Hopefully our hopes and dreams can come true when it comes to this business, and things can start going right for us. Only time will tell :)
