Luck, Chance, Reason or Destiny??

Do things happen in life by luck? Do things happen by chance? Do things happen for a reason? Do things happen because it is our destiny???

Who knows the answer to these questions. There has been so many things in my life that have happened that I would have never known the answer to these questions, nor will I ever. One thing that I have always believed in is "things that I have done in my past and people that I have met and have become friends with has happened for a reason." So many things have built off each other.

For example - the reason my husband and I met.... truly destiny I believe... since we were both in the same place for only one day... we did not even live in the same city at that time- so what are the odds that we would meet.... let alone that we would even talk to each other?? And now, we have been happily married for almost 15 years.

The whole personalization stuff for me goes back to when I was a little girl... my grandma bought me and my brother some pencils that were personalized. The pencils were printed with "Property of Michelle" and "Property of xxxxx" I absolutely loved those pencils, especially since I knew those pencils with my named printed on them belonged to me... no other person could claim that pencil to be theirs.

Wow, personalization...... I could see myself someday offering others stuff that was personalized just for them. I did keep this a thought in the back of mind.... maybe someday I could offer personalized gifts and things to others too. But like I stated... back of my mind.

Fast forward many years in advance... and my dad retires from being a police officer. My mom and dad move to a very nice part of the country with lots of wonderful weather... even in the winter time. My dad decides to start a new business.... custom laser engraving into many unique and custom items. Ok, so what do I do to help him with this???? I guess since I don't live in the same state as my parents do my only option is to help with websites. So that is where I come in... I can't do the personalization myself, since the equipment is not here in front of me, my only option is to help out on the sideline.... but actually it is on the front line for the websites that we have. What I add via our websites is what our customers see and read. That is all so important. That is kinda scary and kinda cool too!

I look forward to sharing more with you again in the future!

Cheers!

Sorry it has been awhile...

I am so sorry that it has been awhile since my last post.... I have been busy. My parents have been in town for a few weeks now and my adding to the blog has taken a neglect.

I am happy to announce that we have teamed up with a couple new vendors to offer our customers so many great, new and exciting personalized products. I am excited to add these products to our website. Be on the look out for some Great New Personalized Products!

Our homepage of PersonalizeItForMe.com is going through a make-over too.... we hope to make much easier for our customers to navigate to find the personalized gifts and things that they are searching for! Hopefully these changes will occur very soon!

Cheers!
Michelle
