Just a little bit, but here to share the news now.
You all know I have been super busy the last couple of weeks. Remember the Drug Store in town where the owner's son (one of the pharmacists) was supposed to have his mother call me concerning consignment for Farmasi products?
Well, I ran into his mother two Saturdays ago in the drug store. I had stopped to pick up medicine for my husband and saw her working in the back straightening up. I went to the middle room where the blood pressure machine is and took my pressure. I do this at least once a week just to make sure our machine is accurate.
After I got my reading, I stuck my head in the back room which is a coffee area for early mornings and introduced myself. I told her that I had talked to her son and he was supposed to have you call me. She looked surprised and then laughed and said, "He forgot!!"
We talked for a few minutes and she agreed that the products would be a perfect fit and gave me one of their worker's name for me to get with to get products IN the store.
I managed to meet with this lady this past week and we got it all mapped out on what I needed to do concerning pricing, UPC codes, etc.
I have the first back of products all listed with UPC codes, names and descriptions with prices and dropped it off today. The forgetful son gets to enter it all into their computer system. We already tested my UPC codes and they are compatible with their system. YAY, I won't have to do that programming!!
I was supposed to print out labels over the weekend, but I could not find the labels I had just bought for that purpose. They disappeared!! I managed to talk the hubby into dinner at Cracker Barrel and picking up labels on the way home.
So, labels pending, the first back of products are all packed up and read for those price tags and then they can be delivered. Whoop!!

Thank you!! I have been approved for all Farmasi products, but will be concentrating on the NutriPlus line of health and wellness and makeup there. They cannot order the current makeup line they are carrying anymore. So excited about this one!!

@snowy22315 True, but I feel like I won't get these swag bags done for deadlines. I wanted to drop the ones off for the Grand Opening today. I will be in Baton Rouge tomorrow and will not be able to go tomorrow. The Grand Opening starts Thursday morning.
I am going to *try* to leave early and drop them off tomorrow on the way to Baton Rouge, but I'm usually running late. I may be going early for Grand Opening!
Deadline for boutique in Baton Rouge is tomorrow! Yikes!! But I just took a break and mixed up a cake mix to take a break and a cup of coffee! I need them both!!

@kareng Don't forget to breathe deeply when you feel it coming on, and relax a bit. Everything doesn't need to be done in a day.

That's a gorgeous flower in the picture . Seems like you have been very productive and things have been going on good with you. I hope that it continues. Reading about that forgetful son, I forgot to tell my husband last night that he had to call his cousin as soon as he comes back. But then I remembered a bit late and told him. He messaged him as it was late night. They talked in the morning.

Great news for you! I hope you sell a lot of products and make a lot of money. Just like the yellow flower, which reminds me of sunshine, may your success bring brightness and joy to your endeavors.
