Finally some updates!!!

Post by karen » Thu Aug 05, 2010 11:38 pm

I know I've been MIA a bit lately. Trying to find a replacement for Jamie has taken up quite a bit more time than I had anticipated, but we have a great person starting tomorrow. Her name is Val, and I think (hope) that she's going to be a great addition to the team.

While we're bringing in a new person we're kind of making a few changes to the shop and the site- right now the entire production area is completely torn-up waiting for some guys to move the giant stove out of the shop (it came with a full kitchen, but we don't need a 6 burner stove with a grill, or a non-working cooler from about 1930). One of the things we're adding is a Google translate feature. I've been checking out the French translation and it's looking pretty good, but if any of you are reading it in your native language and see anything odd please let me know. It's not going to be perfect, but I'm hoping to avoid anything truly awful, or vulgar. I use it to translate my niece's Facebook updates from Finnish to English, and every once in a while there's a big mixup with it. She once posted a cute story about trying to give the dog a bath (that she did not like), and Google translator came up with a translation having to do with dog breeding. :o

I also have a new blog- and there are some fresh updates on there. We're having contest to celebrate our 3rd anniversary!

We've also kicked the bots out of the Chit Chat area so if you're posting anything personal Google shouldn't pick up on it. It's still a good idea to not post anything super duper personal, but at least it won't turn up in Google.

I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone during this kind of weird time. Right now we have the multi-talented Thea pinch-hitting for Jamie, so we're shipping orders as usual.

Love the new blog Karen and thanks so much for the contests, they are always super fun. Are you able to tell us how long the time is for the entries pulled from orders made and when the new stuff will be coming out?
Good luck with all of your changes, I'm sure they will all be great as usual! :D

I know she has been working on the contest collections. That is about as far as my knowledge of the situation goes, though. ;)
