My not so secret about catnip toys is using the seed heads as part of the catnip stuffing. It is the gold of catnip. My own design is not so big, so with the OctoCat I am adding a bit of stuffing to keep it going flat from the catnip drying.
With both the printing and inner circle mail order industries are in decline. It has made Thrifty Prints more of a hobby business for my husband Ray and I. Since this happening we are going more towards a semi-retirement incomes.
Mine is getting more into production mode for Cloakroom Creations. Ray is hoping to get a new business venture called Thrifty Ray's Worm and Rabbit Ranch. We both hope to incorporate the use of Thrifty Prints time to time.
It is hard for both of us to give up Thrifty Prints altogether after 42 Years coming up this Friday (the 13th). But, both of us are eager to start our new ventures.
It is not new for either of us to start business ventures on a shoe string. We started Thrifty Prints with a little over $1,000 in a 10x50 Mobile Home. One of our wedding presents was a Offset Printing Press. So, we both know what is a head of us in away.
Until next time, Keep Yourself and Others safe.
