believe it and it will happen

We are starting to get so busy. I was getting a bit concerned. While we want to grow Edmonton is experiancing a staffing shortage here. Well I have some good people in my life. Gale is now going to be on contract work for us. Matthew my business partner use to work with Gale and when she came in for coffee one day. I discoverd I did too! Gale and I were in school ( college ) together and we did a few projects like a mural and t-shirt silk screening. Gale and I lost contact like so many people you go to school with. I was so surprised when she came into the shop. Well we now have a super experianced contract worker and are so lucky. We also have two other contracters who have lots of Experiance..as they too worked with Matthew and were trained by him years ago. We are sitting in a good spot. We have very talented staff as well as contractors. Our company is looking so good right now. Thanks to our staff if it were not for all of them we would not be able to grow. It is important to treat your staff with respect, but still be firm. We are running a business not a daycare. We have deadlines and sometimes we need to have people re do things or change designs. There are some people who are not cut out for this type of job. If you can't take contructive comments, or be willing to ask for help. It won't work. We are a team and all learn from each other. Matthew and I take the attitude we will not expect anything from our staff that we ourselves are not willing to do. Team work... some companies say it we do it....

I checked out your website - the mascot gallery is a great way for new customers to get ideas of what's possible. It's a very well laid out site - nicely done!

Our sun mascots are doing well. Sounds like we may need two of them cleaned and a new phone number patch for one of them. We won't need to use the mascots again till next spring, so we're not in a rush to get these jobs done. Someone from my office may contact you about this in the future - I can't say for sure though!

Thanks again for the great mascots!
