Wow...it takes a small village....

...AND our UPS man, Wayne to launch a stamp company!
This is the intense "pad printer" that puts all the images on our wood cassettes at Unity. It was a PROCESS to get this bad boy down to a science!

But...THEY DID IT! Beautiful Images courtesy of some serious brain power - and...


MISTAKES!!!!
Hey...who said it was going to be easy? Fun, yes....Easy, Nope!

Hence, we are all in good spirits and the giddiness kicks in around 2:30 daily as the 80's music blares and Unity emerges from a mere vision of two dreamers to a HUGE reality that has produced so many unbelievable relationships, good times, and excitement for the future of this company.

As our kits are assembled...


and the orders go out the door....


you can be sure we are here to STAY!


What started as a simple "WISH" has now become so much bigger, so real, and so wonderful!
We have run into some simple challenges as opening day came and went, although they are being continuously remedied and life at Unity remains full speed ahead.
--------------------
Please take a peek at the following link to see the FABULOUS review on Splitcoaststampers.com.
The girls wrote an excellent review of our handles! We are SO PLEASED! Don't forget to look into the gallery of the talented gals that reviewed our stamps...the samples are stunning & simply adorable!
------------------------
If you have taken a moment to stop by and shop on the Unity website you will notice that the shopping cart is not co-operating so well. Please know that we are on top of the situation and working VERY HARD to be sure that you experience is positive. Please feel free to email me your order to avoid any frustration till my web guy has things all smooth.
Must be a week for computer glitches as most of you will notice that UNITY is not LIVE as Splitcoast as of yet. The Splitcoast Sweeties (I like calling them that cause they are SO FABULOUS there!) are working very hard to get our forum up and running. There is a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ready to be revealed so be sure to pay us a visit!
WHAT ELSE??!!
