He always said I’d be working for him someday, but I had NO idea it would be this soon (or for so little pay!). Meet my boss:
Yep, I’ve been “hired” by my kid to be his fulfillment/shipping department. It’s my job to handle all the payment transactions and make sure that if you’ve ordered a Bag Bag you actually get it!
On an up note, people have been incredibly generous with Boy Wonder’s venture. For those of you who have already purchased a Bag Bag, thank you!! You ROCK. But the goodness just doesn’t stop! I mentioned what the kiddo was up to when I ran into JoAnn’s for Bag Bag supplies and the woman behind the register gave me 40% off everything in my shopping cart that was regularly priced…(they’re only suppose to let you use one coupon per item per visit!) and she stuffed my bag full of 40% off coupons. Then the station manager at the radio station where Bug is a DJ has approached Bug about recording a radio spot for Georges. And THEN… his first check came in and a lovely man included an extra $5 for Heifer International. You good people never cease to amaze me!
And I should take the moment to let you know that whether you buy a Bag Bag or not, Heifer International is a great organization to support. A gift of sustainability is a gift that keeps on giving. Check them out.
Now, I must go. The Man is calling; I hear I have to get back to work and stop blogging on company time.
You can add this to your resume. I’m sure you will get a glowing recommendation. “Facilitated the development and implementation of fulfillment, shipping, and customer service. Helped organization achieve 1000% growth in first year…”

It should look good with all the other stuff on my resume. My line for the day, “I got a degree, but I’m not letting that ruin my life!” ~W
I tried oredering one through the paypal link, but it won’t work for me! When I enter the security code on the bottom, it keeps coming up woth an error code!! I could send you a check if I can’t get it to work, I would just need to know where to send it. Thanks Wende!

I sent you email. Thanks for letting me know. We did a test run with paypal and our order went through. So… it seems to be working OK. Hope if works for you!! ~W
Two! I need two! I trust the Boy’s design sense so any color/design. Tell me how and where to pay! I just caught up here- love the black polish, sad that there are folks who mess up the neighborhood, blog-wise. It’s irritating- I’m fed up with trackbacks linking me to things like casket sales and hokey meds.
Your Sunday Sermon made me smile- my Abby is a barista extraordinaire and she makes amazing designs. When Honda sponsored a world class car race here in St. Peterburgs she made half a semester’s tuition after stying up nights teaching herself how to put the Honda logo on top of her coffee drinks at the Hilton.
Love these little entrepreneurs (sp? too many Es in there, I think?)- they will support us in our old age! But will they let us move out when the time is right? 🙂

That’s amazing about Abby. SUPER SMART, that girl! And thank you for your order!! 😀 ~W
Just make sure you aren’t embezzling the profits – or, if you do, that you don’t get caught! 🙂 I think this is great – wonderful experience for him, too.

This is so awesome what Boy Wonder is doing! WOW! Today KMUN (I’m guessing)… tomorrow NPR! Before you know it Terry Gross will be calling to talk to BW!
Do I have to purchase via PP? Can I pay in person? Can I give BW my own fabric to use (and increasing the profit factor)?

I sent you email with directions. The radio station actually isn’t in our market. The local people (other than yourself!) haven’t caught onto this yet. It’s only a matter of time, I suppose. ~W
I want a bag bag! I am also wondering about the option of providing my own fabric…and perhaps no hole at the bottom? I adore Heifer International–I got a flock of chicks donated in my name from Sky for Christmas. It is just one of the best causes out there. Lemme know, and I’ll hook yall up… 🙂

I emailed you shipping instructions. It shouldn’t be a problem to make it the way you are asking. :D~W
He is amazing! What a businessman. He has a great future ahead of him. I couldn’t get to the bag bag site, but I remember them. He is very talented.

Thank you! And thank you for letting me know about the link. Hopefully, I have that fixed. 😀 ~W
First, that is an awesome picture. I think it really captures the ‘boss’ quality. Second, I ordered, but never got an email.. can I just go through paypal, anyways?

Oh, sweetie, I emailed you within hours of your order. Check your spam, maybe? But of course you can use paypal. :D Thanks for letting me know. ~W
