Adamma's Notions Humble Beginning

August 31st 2010

The Beginning of Adamma’s Notions

After 10+ years out of school I decided to go back. I started a bachelor’s degree at the age of 29. When I first started classes I only wanted to take an English course to help me improve my writing and thinking skills. After I was done with English Composition 101 I was hooked. I decided to stay in school. My track of attending evening school full-time in the evening and working a full-time job during the day started. I had this schedule for almost three years.

Going back to school felt liberating; I was on the path to improving myself and investing for my future. During the last semester of my bachelor’s degree, I took a course on web development. Our professor told us that we were going to learn to build a website, nothing complex something very easy to follow.

I told her now she knows how I feel when I walk into a Starbucks. All I want is a regular coffee with whole milk and sugar. At Starbucks coffee shop these people a whole different language. I feel like I was transported from earth to planet... Read More

Yes I do it: Save Money by Re-Using Packing Material

August 16th 2010

In todays economy everyone is trying to save money, including businesses.

This is how Adammas Notions saves money, by re-using boxes and packaging materials.

Being a home based business it has its advantages, I re-use the boxes that I receive when I order inventory. The bubble wrap, peanuts, and foam if in good condition, will get re-used for shipments.

In four simple steps, you can do it too.

I take all the packing peanuts or bubble film out. The peanuts go in a bag for later use and the bubble films is neatly folded and placed inside a box, also for later use.
I take any and all labels off the box.
I break down the box so it can fold neatly in a space in my home office closet.
