Mirror Debacle

So with the upcoming Ladies Who Launch LIVE! event coming on October 25, I wanted to come up with something really cool and creative to include in the gift bags that each attendee will receive. After scouring several customizable product catalogs I found these really cool mirrors on 4Imprint.com. My idea was to have the TK Jewelry logo on one side and then this amazing new TK Bridal Jewelry logo my friend Amy designed for me on the other. Great right? Perfect little gift for ladies to throw in their purse – and a constant reminder of my websites.

With Amy’s help we came up with a great design – silver mirrors with white writing. Their site says 5 days to print and ship. The deadline to get the bag stuffers was October 19, so I figured I was golden. I sent through my order … THEN received notice from the company that they actually would need 7 days to print. ACK – what was I thinking waiting til the last minute. Darn!! Oh well … on to the next idea. These cute little purse mirrors, I could just add a sticker to them. I placed my order (and paid extra for shipping) so they would arrive on Friday the 19th and I would have the weekend to sticker 300 of these bad boys. Done ... and done.

More bad news … the mirrors were waylaid since the shipper decided to send them Ground instead of 3 day (which I paid for) and a train mishap delayed them. They wouldn’t arrive til Tuesday. TOO LATE!! So I contacted the company and they apologized and gave me a full refund.

PLAN C … candy. I got cellophane bags and dove chocolates. Every bag had my card in it, 5 dove chocolates (mixture of milk and dark) and was tied with a cute red bow. Whew … the project took about 5 hours … but it was done, at a fraction of the price of the mirrors. And who doesn’t like chocolate.

Now … to get ready for the show!
