It all started with the fridge magnets ....

It all started with the fridge magnets ....

For the last couple of years (until earlier this month) I have served as the marketing and public relations director for a tractor and equipment dealership.  Over and OVER again, one of the marketing companies that would call was one that sold magnets.

I told them over and over again that if we sold pizzas or something of that nature, then a fridge magnet would be a delightful

place for us to be - but generally with an item as large as a tractor; one does not look to their fridge for a decision.

ANYWHO - among close friends we all joked about my frustration with the magnets.

As I pondered some thoughts regarding my photography and my designs, I thought to myself how funny it would be if I could make my zillions selling magnets....

The idea continued to percolate in my noggin - ::affordable art for your fridge:: - ::scenes from home while you're away:: - the ideas continued to come until my brain was about to burst. 

As those ideas started to develop, other ideas started to present themselves - postcards, tote bags, etc.

At present time, I am self-employed for the first time as a "single adult" - I am working nearly around the clock on developing things I've scribbled down on random scraps of paper, making brain flow maps and laying out a plan for the next 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.

I have an incredible support team and I'm feeling very optimistic about what's to come ....

Let us not forget that what will allow me to continue on with this project will be to book as many photo gigs as possible - KCoJax Candids on Facebook, KCoJax on Blogspot.
