A Typical Day at Wall Decor Plus More

This post is a little out of the ordinary.  I am going to share a little about Wall Decor Plus More on a personal level.  We are a home-based business that makes wall stickers and decals.  A majority of our products are designed by us and all are produced and cut right here in our basement in rural South Dakota.  The "we" or "us" of Wall Decor Plus More...
     Kristi, which is me =), is the owner/operator.  I oversee all the operations and do pretty much all the design work.  I am a Mom of 5 kids - the oldest being 11 years and the youngest are 3 year old twins.  Married for 12 years and we live on a farm.  So every morning, after the e-mails are checked, you find the 2 oldest children and I feeding our 500 cattle as their Dad has already left for work.
     Danielle is an 8th grade student and a niece of mine.  She had back surgery to correct scoliosis last summer.  This job is perfect for her since she doesn't need to do alot of lifting or bending.  Danielle does most of the cutting of the wall shapes plus she helps with all the sayings and zebra items.
    Stephanie is a senior in high school.  Stephanie came to work for us when we took a week long vacation last year.  She is quite proficient on the computer so, when the orders are all taken care, Stephanie helps out with web design, photo editing, etc.

This photo shows a part of our "work square", as I call it.  We have a large unfinished cement basement.  A square is setup with our vinyl operation.  The rest of the basement is scattered with whatever the children are playing with at the moment.  And yes, those toys make their way into the square at times too. =)
