Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving :-)
Now it's time to gear up for Xmas, etc...
Of course in this kind of economy with increasing thefts, you know just the right place to get a really cool, useful and inexpensive holiday gift in the next few weeks, right?
Keep your stuff ON yourself and don't be a victim! ;-)

twitter rocks x2 as PortaPocket heads to Vegas!

Been twittering all over the place and meeting some terrific people, including my new friend Jessica with a cool scented wipe for your cell phones & other electronics called Celly Smellys (www.cellysmellys.com). We're meeting up in Las Vegas to visit some trade shows, audition for Pitchmen (on the Discovery channel) and talk business while we're at it!! Very exciting... will report all the scoop when we get back from Sin City (no sinning here though...just squeaky clean stuff...natch) ;-)

twitter rocks as PortaPocket invades Australia!

OK..."invades" might be a strong word....but man, have I been LAX (...and I don't mean the airport in CA...)! hmph. been a long time since I wrote in here, so sorry. Bad girl. Too much tweeting. But that's really a GOOD thing! I've met some terrific and fun people from all over the globe ...chatting away. Just sent off my 1st package to Australia to my new friend @ferrous....love her. I feel so multi-continental now! :)
Amazing how many people are tweeting about problem situations they're having...
just do a search for "lost wallet" "lost keys" "no pockets" "put in bra" etc. etc. and see what you get! I daresay there's dozens of disgruntled tweets a day and that's just those who are talking about it...I'm sure there are many others with the same issues that don't bother... So there you have it... It's not just me who's basically saying there's a HUGE need for a way for people to solve these kinds of problems...and I plan to be right there with my PortaPocket cases to help people do just that. :)

it's rainin' candy...

My little daughter loves the 4th of July parade... It's a small one in our little town but no matter. A 4 yr old is in heaven even with a handful of fire engines and a decorated car or two. And she'll say the best part, of course, is all the candy she collects. Kind of like a reverse Halloween, where this time you just sit there and all the candy gets thrown at YOU. It's just one of those oh-so-fun things about being a child without a worry in the world....
perhaps if the rain stops we'll make it over to the fireworks somewhere.
To you & yours -- all the best and have a safe & festive holiday weekend!
:)

Fox4 Deal or Dud? -- DEAL!

Did you see our review on Fox4 News in Dallas/Fort Worth last night? Was terrific!! Couldn't have asked for anything better. They'd tried out PortaPocket strap-on cases while riding the snazzy roller coasters at the amusement park and gave PPs the big Thumbs Up! Yea yea!
Don't lose your phone, etc...!
