We have been Pinned and deemed entrepreneurs

My early rising has backfired. I woke at 5AM this morning with a headache (its a thing I have) finally fell back asleep and low and behold I just got up ...it's 10:03. YIKES.

Last night was a BIG night for us. We had our Women's Economic Venture graduation.
Women's Economic Ventures (WEV, pronounced "weave") is a local, non-profit organization dedicated to creating an equitable and just society through the economic empowerment of women across the globe.

WEV provides opportunities for entrepreneurs in every phase of the business lifecycle: start-up, launch, grow and sustain/exit.
Melanie and I graduated with honors. We were pinned with a WEV pin and received a certificate of completion of Self-Employment training signed by the CEO and founder. we also received a certificate of recognition from the California State Assembly signed by Assembly Member Pedro Nava.

We gave our "elevator speech " regarding SkullAsstic Ink and expo'd our designs. It was awesome! We had some great sales and received GREAT feedback!

We also spoke to two very awesome WEV board members whom we admire very much. Kathy Johnson, Attorney at Law and Simon Dixon the CEO of Idea Engineering We have known Kathy Johnson for sometime now and she is just an exquisite woman whom we find to be awe inspiring. Thank you Kathy for being Awesome! We would also like to thank Mr. Simon Dixon whom we met during one of our SET classes. He is an amazing speaker and evokes creativity and is also very inspiring. It's great to know GOOD people with Good energy.

While showing off our SkullAsstic Designs we had the pleasure of meeting Shelley Shoemaker owner of Cafe Shell formerly Barcliff & Bair who was looking for a SkullAsstic Ink item for her 10 month old Gianna and some of their friends. Shelly is a DreamWEVer donor to WEV. She was fantastic to talk to and had a wonderful energy about her! We also met Tony Anderson who was very insightful regarding Manufactures for us to contact. We enjoyed talking with all of you!

Thank you to all the wonderful people we have met through WEV and of course our class mates and WEV graduates as well that we have connected with. Jessica Wedmore of Lotus Blossom who creates the most amazing organic Albums, Journals and cards ever! Tori Murphy who is an super rocker that we love, she is working on opening up a Window and Solar Panel washing business. Shine on Chicky!!!! Kristin Anderson of Lime green Monkey who makes reusable, sustainable, organic hankies for children. Tony the best manager at Cafe Shell you are wonderful and we love the Crab Cake Benedict.

We were so excited when we got home from our Graduation that we made some new
designs. We have created Cherry Blossom Leggings and a new improved swallow and we are working on more, but right now We better get going as we have a few orders to fill !!!
