Gigglicious Summer Days

Things are busy at Gigglicious for the summer.  We have more “staff” at home.  The little daydreamers are doing their part and spending time in the studio working on drawings for Ryan.  Hannah is logging nearly as many hours as Ryan the past few weeks doing drawings and improving her design skills.

We just finished a large presentation for one of our clients a few weeks ago which took a lot of of our time, energy, and steam.  We are unwinding by spending a little time renovating our 1972 Shasta 16SC, Marguerite.  Brainwork is often times best offset by some physical labor.  After sitting abandoned for 26 years in a campground, she has been in need of some love.    So, during the daytime, we renovate.  When the sun goes down, we design.  It’s the benefit of working at your own schedule and we feel blessed to be able to do both things.

Out of the blue, Ryan decided to check out Amazon.com’s best seller list the other night. As it turns out, our Gobble Gobble Guppies by Swimways has listed 3rd on the Bestseller list in Pool Dive Toys.  The Toypedo Launcher was listed at 16th.  It was a very big thrill to all of us.  Many, many thanks to all those who are supporting us and buying our products.

With the 4th of July quickly approaching, it would seem that summer is nearly half over. It feels like the lightening bugs have just started coming out; I hate to even think that they’ll be gone soon.  We wish you all wonderful summer adventures, happy memories, and warm sunny days.

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.  ~Celia Thaxter
