More Big News!

Posted on 16 April 2007 by Pam | 1 Comment

My name is Naomi, I am the second oldest, and first married of the Clanton gang. In addition, my wonderful husband, Stephen and I are expecting our first child this fall!

I am going to write about some of the things I remember from the original business days. I remember when there was no “warehouse”, when virtually everything that had to do with the business was stored in two rooms in our home! When the mail delivery man would scratch his head and wonder… “what on earth do they do with eight rolls of bubble wrap every other week!?” These are the things that made our home business fun and exciting.

The sound of tape guns screeching, paper crackling and bubble wrap bursting was once the soundtrack to myeveryday life. Oh, the memories of living with a home-based internet business! I loved working with Out of the Toy Box, packing and shipping surprise gifts from a Grandparent, to an excited birthday girl or boy! Later receiving stories of the child’s delight in opening the package to find a Pretend Food Birthday Party!

I loved to see every new product that came in, it was so exciting! Melissa & Doug shipments always had new things for our website. Some of my favorites were the Band In A Box, and several of their Puzzles! We all had a blast playing with the new products that we “tested”. :) Abigail was particularly intrigued by the Magic Sets, and ambushed the entire household with her “magic tricks” daily.

That’s all for now! Happy Spring!! :)
