Well, we have our extra help for a little over a month now and we are still backlogged around 6 weeks worth of work. The shop runs up to 19 hours a day right now, 5 days a week plus another 8-10 on Sat/Sun. A couple of weeks ago I fell asleep in the shop around 2am. Woke up to find the embroidery machine had stopped on a thread break. 

Our school orders all came in at the same time last week which accounts for a good chunk of change. This will be around 1000 shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, hats, etc. by the time we are done with them.

Our Scare-A-Fair will be on 10/31 which brings 20,000 people to our little downtown area. We tape a business card to each piece of candy we hand out. That is a lot of tape!

And if this Christmas is like last year, we will do a ton of stocking personalizations.

We are busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I don't know what we are going to do. Too much work for what we have here......

[MonkeyMeMe]

I hear ya binki, just keep doing what you are doing,, and if you need to turn jobs down,, do what you have to do to keep your sanity,,,,

I am also at the point i need to think of options, and that is a good point to be at.

You probably need to raise your prices....

I'm sure it's exhausting,  but it's a good problem to have.

You probably need to raise your prices....
