Dream Job!!!!!!

Just before Thanksgiving, I came across a very obscure posting for a sales and marketing job. It was so vague that the only thing that caught my attention was the word 'stationery' in the one line description. So naturally I applied - got call number one! Went in for my interview, was asked to write a proposal - which I nailed with my 'impeccable' writing skills, they said that by the way ;)
Anyway, after three meetings, I got the final call yesterday and I was officially told that the position was mine!

So what exactly is the dream job?!

I am the sales and marketing director of a brand new, high end stationery company, whose wedding invitations showcase their expert craftsmanship in laser cut designs. My role is to give all my input about designs, product development and marketing and selling wedding invitations. A full time position that doesn't even require me to leave my own desk! I go to their studio a couple times each week for a few hours, but most of my work is managed from home, making calls, browsing wedding blogs and magazines, meeting with event planners, going to stationery and bridal shows, etc....

That's my job, or rather, my first career! This career opportunity will allow me to do what I love for as long as I want. It also allows me the time to develop my own projects - Lily Notes Studio and My Big Small Wedding,  without the stress of a annoying 9 to 5, doing something I care nothing for and being exhausted and miserable because there aren't enough hours in the week!

I am really stinkin' happy and excited about this new position, so much so, that I've gotten to work at it immediately! It will open so many doors for me, as the opportunity is endless and I cannot wait to see what happens in the year ahead.

Yay, ME!!!
