| Blogs relating to this post: Terrylynn Kym and Lori are together and I am afraid. I am very afraid. Is this a hint? Is This a clue? What are Terrylynn, Kym and Lori Up To? A Bit of a Rant Maybe not a hint, but I love the company we are keeping lately (add Cindy Bryant, Kathy Nielson, Jo Potvin, Joelle Green, Kathleen Lordbock, Leslie Godbold and Jackson West if you will). |
 Oh My Gosh… I can’t believe it’s
already here!! |
 I know! It seems like yesterday that
we were on a plane to Minneapolis, the "Center of the
Universe", but it was really July 2007. |
| Almost a year ago and it’s so
amazing how all our brainstorming on the challenges of the staging
industry turned into this! |
| Yes! A real life new company
launching May 1, 2008. |
| We're adding so much as we go, that
we can add every few weeks, that they'll just LOVE coming back to see
what we've got planned.
|
 Isn’t it just great! Thank
goodness for Active Rain and Miss Lori Kim Polk, who knows
EVERYONE! Her enthusiasm is contagious. |
 You bet, I just love her and she has
been such an amazing cheer leader and support for us. Chris too, what
would we have done without her? All that talk about her head exploding
if we didn’t stop coming up with new things, humpf. |
| I shudder to think! She is ready to
put us both on a slow boat to china without a paddle and I don’t blame
her a bit. Thank goodness she is such an amazing web manager because
without her our site would not be ready to launch, especially the
shopping mall. |
| Good news Terrylynn! I signed up a new
supplier for the Shopping Mall today too. Within the next three
months we are going to have the best Shopping Mall for Stagers on the
world wide web. |
| But the best part is that now all
stagers have a way of selling their used inventory that they no longer
want or need. |
| Yes that is great, but I love that
stagers can increase their exposure to local homeowners and Real
Estate Agents.
|
| True, but additional revenue
streams that they can make through the virtual consignment shop
program, selling banner ads to their local contractors, and selling
their inventory is going to be so good for their bottom line.
|
| THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART is that we are going to
release one or more new amazing features each month. StagersLIST.com is going to be the best tool for moving a stager's business forward.
|
| Kym, you're absolutely right, but then again you always are. Just wait, in a few months when we start to market it to Realtors and homeowners and they can see how REALLY VALUABLE professional stagers truly are!

 Thank you Marey Hoeppner for stepping up to help Chris out
with all this extra work!May 1, 2008

wow! I am super excited!!! can't wait...
We're super excited too Stephanie... we just know this will be a valuable new way to showcase stagers throughout the US & Canada. But right now I'm just super tired! lol Hours to go before I rest today.
Oh My gosh I love he little heads!!!!! It hides my hips so well :)
I am so looking forward to the really long nap I am going to get after the launch...I do get a nap soon don't I?
Kym
OMG!!! This is just too great! What happened to my hair Chris? I did cut it but they look like dread locks... hey, maybe it is the new ME! Thank you so much for hitching me up to the StagersLIST wagon. It has taken us all a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get this going. So worth it! Riding FULL gallop tomorrow. I truly enjoyed calling my AR friends (we aren't done yet;) and talking with them. I felt like we were old friends even though we had never met. Amazing how wonderful it is to call someone up and talk with them about this exciting opportunity. I loved every minute of it... probably write a Blog about it too.
I will be calling you girls at 12:01 tonight...... so be ready ;)
Building a websit is very much like giving birth. The conception is really exciting the process is long and laborious but final launch is like that final push. You must be delirious by now but hey no stretch marks!
FABULOUS JOB!!!!!!!
Hey You Wonderful and Energetic Women,
I am excited for the launch tomorrow!! I have all my "treasures" up and will continue to add. You ladies rock and I am glad to know you!
Kahai
It's countdown time! I'll be up at midnight to see the new website for sure, can't wait:) Good luck to StagerList.com & keep up the good work!!
CUTE!!! sorry i have been preoccupied (two words: parents visiting), I am putting stuff up now. Thanks for including me in your charter. I am very flattered ;)
Cheers,
Cindy

Susan P. - Thanks for the analogy. I could use a mental epidural right about now.
Marey - Pop the champagne! woohoo!
Carole - Thank you, it has been a huge amount of work. Just lucky I got Marey to help with my part and we got Lori to help my mom & Kym!
Kahai - Thank you. Energetic? Not sure anymore. One of the hardest things about being in the site was NOT buying stuff before the launch! lol
Gaby - Thank you! We are sure you'll love it and it is going to grow into something so much more.
Cindy - We're glad to have you as a charter partner! Parents visiting... I can top that. I work at the 'rents house every day! lol I hope you have fun with it, I sure do.
Wow, ladies, I bet after all your hard work you can hardly believe it's FINALLY here! I am so excited for you and for everyone that this website will benefit from. (BTW, I love the dancing heads!)
Hi Chris: How exciting for all of you. I wish you all the absolute best in your new adventure. I just love this blog post design... really great. Way to go ! Take care...
Lachelle - It's FINALLY just the beginning! lol Here we go!
Karen Anne - Hi & thanks for commenting. Glad you liked the blog design. Marey helped w/that. We may be overworked, but we're still having fun.
Chris, doesn't working with your parents drive you BONKERS?! I get into fights all the time when I stage with my mom :D Creative differences I suppose!
Anyway, I just finished uploading about 10 items onto the site. IT WAS GREAT AND FUN! sorry I have to shout this, this is TOO COOL! VERY EASY TO USE AND EASY TO UPLOAD. I also love the green. CAN'T WAIT TO GET MORE VENDORS ON HERE!!! WOOHOO!
Gina - Thank you so much! It's been and will continue to be a lot of work & a work in progress, but it's fun.
Cindy - yes, BONKERS. But we've been arguing for 40 years so we've figured out how to do it. : )
How cool is this!!!! I cant wait
Heather
Heather - I hope you love it!
Terrylynn & Kym - BACK TO WORK! lol
Thanks for the toast, Fernando. I could use one of those drinks right about now! : ) It's good we've all gotten busier. StagersLIST.com will help keep us that way.
To all you fabulous entrepreneurs!!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE LAUNCH!!! I look forward to a very successful relationship with StagersList! Thank you all for having the vision, and making it a reality through determination and hard work! I'm really proud to know you!!!
Elaine Manes-Proud Charter Member
Elaine - We feel very proud to know you and have you onboard as a charter partner! Thank you for all of your encouragement.
Congratulations on this spectacular new site and resource for us all!
Wishing you all continued success from the Great State of Texas!
Ah what a great community. We so appreciate the support and encouragement. We need it! Elaine we are nuts about the photography that you put on your storefront on StagersLIST.com. It's amazing you are so talented. I do believe your red tulips are going to go fast! Kym
Congratulations to all of you. You've all put a lot of hard work into this and the site looks great Chris. I wish you all success. I'm off to tip toe through the tulips now :-).
Chris, nice ThemThem to your super group. What a fine team! Best of luck in the new venture and thanks for sharing with the ThemThem Group.
The Team deserves a feature post, done!
Karen - thanks from California!
Thanks Stefan - we're hoping to bring all stagers great success.
Charlene - thank you very much. Now we just need all this support to help us iron out the kinks! Please no one hesitate to contact me with questions/suggestions.
Duane - It is a great team, with all of it's members on edge right now! lol We're on tiptoes around each other so we don't snap. We need a spa weekend!
Terrylynn & Kym - BACK TO WORK! : )
Debra - It's actually a relief when my head flies apart like that. : ) I added some gorgeous photography yesterday and more today. Now I have to save up to buy a couple!
Bonnie - The spa sounds great. Actually took 2 whole days off last weekend and went on a wine tour Sunday. Imagine that, not working on the weekend! It was weird.
Terrylynn & Kym - thanks to you, I get to work on a shopping site all day though. That makes up for the head exploding. What's better than shopping?
Chris
Thank you Linda, Terrylynn & Kym are very hard workers, that's for sure. I'm going to go broke working on a shopping site though! I want to buy everything I add to the shopping mall! lol
Chris
Thanks everyone for your support and kind words. It is such fun to do this for people you like so much.
And, Mary you and your funny videos...we are laughing in the office...
Marey - I take the blame. I brought you into this. Trying to figure out which bill can take a minimum payment so I can get the 2 photographs I want... cuz of course I don't want the small size! lol
Kym - The pillows got Marey. Of course, she'd have to get a matching lamp. So we need to get to work on those!
Terrylynn - I get paid to work on a shopping website. Of course it will be so much more in time, but it will always be partly shopping. What more perfect (or scary) job for me! : )
Chris - I can see why it was feautured, very creative and cute. The type of post your really don't see very often at The Rain!
Thank you Robert!
Chris, very nicely done. I think this may be the first "talking heads" post that I've seen on AR. Cool! C. ;-)
I got up early this morning to catch up on some work. Terrylynn, Shell and I are in Portland and we just finished another Expo. We had over 145 people and it was fabulous. I am going to blog on it, but then I see that someone is blogging about our Expo from May! Very cool. Kym
C - Thanks! I like to have fun. Marey Hoeppner made the exploding Chris head and dancing stick figures.
Kym - This one came back up, can't wait to hear about Portland! 145, that is fantastic!
How funny this came up on a google alert in my email today. How did that happen?
