This week I registered my business name, Davis Custom Design, and I opened a business account at our bank. It now feels official to me, and I can’t be happier. I have slowed down on the orders but it has given me a chance to catch up on the business part. And making things for my family and occasionally rarely me.
I hate coins. I hate the sound they making jingling around, I hate how they weigh my purse down, I hate how it takes so long to find the right coin you need and because of all these reasons I regularly clear the change out of my purse. My husband usually takes the quarters, dimes, and nickels for work; and my girls do little errands for me for the pennies. Which I will find thrown all over the house a few hours later, so I have decided to stop that and start saving them to deposit into my new business account.
Now normally I would be telling myself “I need some kind of change holder” and take off to the store to see what I could find. But this year I have decided I need to stop that and shop around my house first, if I can’t find anything then I go shopping. I didn’t have to shop long at the house though before I found this pretty vase. I kept it when my husband got me that beautiful orchid that I just had to have, and then killed it by forgetting to water it. *sad face* I figured the size was perfect because who wants to be behind the crazy lady depositing the ton of change? Not me! I figured more frequent, brief trips to the bank would be better.
It seemed so plain to me though. I wanted to add a little saying, but didn’t want the famous “a penny saved is a penny earned”. So I went to trusty Google and searched for quotes, I found this one that I love. So then I went to my scrap vinyl and found this perfect little piece that was the exact size that I needed. I dressed up the quote a little bit with the Samantha font, the only font I have ever paid for. But, don’t tell hubby!! And this is the new change holder. It gets robbed quite a bit from the hubby and kids but any change I find goes in there so it is more than just pennies.
“little by little a little becomes a lot” I love how cute it turned out and it looks so good on my desk.
