My next task was to get creative and make some really unique and novelty ones. I was approached for the possibility of selling them which I had never given much thought to. I decided why not!? So I started making tons of sample bows along with precious bow holders and headbands. My sister and mom asked me to make some for my niece's Fall festival at her school, Chelsea Park Elementary. My mom made two big bow trees for the silent auction.
A few months later, I got an e-mail inquiring if I would be interested in making samples of bows for the Chelsea Youth Cheerleaders. I was so excited! I jumped at the chance and made 40 ponytail streamers for the Basketball cheerleaders.
Now, my next big jump is tackling a booth at Cottontails Village at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex in March. I am so excited and so nervous about being ready in time. I got confirmation of my acceptance for the festival so it is now quickly approaching. I started making bows back in the late fall to prepare for this. I see many late nights in my future! My mom is graciously helping out with the painting of letters for bow holders and making the adorable feather wreaths she is so good at to sell also.
As soon as I can catch up or when Cottontails is over, the big website will be launched for everyone to buy from! I am also going to send packets out to all cheer groups and businesses in the hopes of partnering up with some of them as well!
So here's to Sissy Su's Sassy Stuff!
