{Our certificate from ebay congratulating us on reaching 1,000 reviews}

Lots of new and exciting things happening around Champaign Plastics. We just reached a 1,000 reviews on ebay and we are so thankful for the support. Also we've been researching several new products to add to our store. Including some children and adult placemats as well as a few different sauce cups. More new items should be posted on our site within the next few weeks.

{A thanks from ebay for being a top seller. Stickers to add to our ebay packages}

Around the Office: New Items

 {New pig shaped cookie cutters will be available soon in our stores} 

Things are starting to cool down here in the Midwest. We're enjoying the crisp fresh air with windows opened and the air-conditioning turned off. We decided to add a new cookie cutter into the mix since our seafood ones have taken off. Now you can pick up a pig shaped cookie cutter to make desserts to go along with our BBQ bibs.

{Peach Pie}

Another month has passed and most of my free time was spent making recipes that called for peaches. I can now say that I used up all my peaches before they went bad, I now have a few peach related recipes to share, and I don't think I could ever become peached out.

New Gadget

Last month I bought a label maker to help me get organized. It's helped a ton so far and (I've gone through one box of files)  I'm anxious to get stared clearing out all my old files and relabel them. Just five more filing cabinets and several banker boxes to go. Luckily I like this new gadget so much (and new file folders) or I never would get so excited about organizing them. Hopefully I will have some beautiful before and after pictures for you too.

{Mail waiting to go out}

You would think it was spring with all the cleaning and organizing that's been going on around the office. With all the back to school items on sale we stocked up on circle stickers, pretty folders, and a label maker to keep things looking neat and tidy.
