It's almost been twenty four months since I applied for the IDA matching funds grant from CASA of Oregon. And in April I look forward to finishing up what has been a two year program with MIPO. This past 20 months I have been working with people in the program, practicing new ways of organization, time management and have been exposed to a huge network system. I continue my education and have learned new savvy options for small business through the business classes, meeting with coaches and working on a business plan has really redefined my line. I'm excited for this new year. I will be revamping Dress Up Alice and implementing a new face, line up and promotional product. It's been and continues to be a great asset to building and focusing on what makes me happy and keeps me doing what I enjoy!
Happy New Year to you all, may this year bring momentum in the projects in your life!

Working from the Inside Out
It's always funny when you are doing so much and it just doesn't show on the outside... yet. It's like a volcano, never seeing the activity until it erupts. Well that is just what is happening with Dress Up Alice. Amber has been busy drafting new patters and now has connected with Skye Blue Can Sew for grading her patterns into more sizes. With this new relationship more designs can come to fruition and this means more new looks! Amber is also in conversation with Portland Garment Factory and getting her designs on the production table. This is even more exciting. So look out for new late summer dresses, tops and availability.
