This week I am so excited to feature a new friend of mine, Janet, of Ella Scott Jewels! I met Janet at the Steward School Craft Show about a month ago and bought quite a few of her pieces! Not to mention she is lively, energetic, funny, and the mother of twins! How she does it, I don't know, so let's get a little insight into her daily schedule! You can also visit her on her blog.
- What tools are a must in your day to day business? Coffee, chocolate, ear plugs oh and all my tools and beads...can't forget those :)
- If you were an animal, what would you be and why? Octopus, the more hands the better!
- What is your favorite color combination? Blue and green and blue and orange...my shop colors and my blog colors.
- What's your favorite drink? Hot chocolate made lovingly by my hubby every night
- What could I find in your refrigerator right now? Not much, I actually shopped for two weeks of groceries but somehow it never seems to last that long.
- What is the last book you read? Probably something by Dr. Seuss :)
- What blogs do you like to keep up to date with? Well of course, Dawn Correspondence! but I also have a lot of wedding blogs, jewelry blogs, and moms of multiples blogs...too many to list but there are lists on my blogs.
- If you could trade places with someone for a day, who would it be? My husband, for one day I would like to be in an office where people aren't constantly under your feet and you can think, and I would like for him to see what a day in the life of mom is.
- What are the first three things you do in the morning? The last three before you go to bed? First three things in the morning...snuggle in bed with two very sweet two year olds, change diapers, fix breakfast for two cranky two year olds (how they go from sweet to cranky so quickly I will never know). Last three before bed...check emails and blogs, try to relax a little, snuggle with the hubs.
- What time do you typically wake up and go to bed? If i had my way I would be up closer to 8 or 8:30 but usually someone is in our bed between 6:30 and 7; usually in bed by 11; that actually looks like a decent amount of sleep, wonder why I am always still tired.
- What's your favorite movie? Sound of Music. I always remember watching that every Christmas at my grandparents' house, since then it has been my favorite.
- What's the best part about selling online? All the fabulous people that I am contacted with all over the world!
- What's the biggest challenge being in business for yourself? When problems arise you are the only one to answer the questions.
- Tell us a little about how you manage your time. Since I have two toddlers, a hubby, and house to take care of there isn't much time for a lot, so I try to fit things in here and there when I have a few minutes of down time, and when the kiddos are sleeping.
Hubby makes hot chocolate every night??? Did I read that right??? LOL...Great interview :)
