A MJC Field Trip

Am I like 20 years behind or what?  Wow.  I had really thought this week would slow down. Ha, guess again.  So excited we got the last of the sale orders pulled, now they just need to be packed and shipped. That should happen Tuesday at the absolute latest.  Absolute.

So today was crazy. We wanted to get all the pulling done so we got in super early and hit our goal around 2:00.  We then moved all the shelves, did deep cleaning, and are now onto counting every single thing in that building. Everything. But hey, the sale was  better than we anticipated and I think we are gonna get A/C. So excited.  Dang we are gonna be cool.  And warm. Cuz you may not know, for how hot that building is in the summer it is that cold in the winter. It is super old and has been empty for…I’m thinking 20 years.

So things are changing up at MJC…oh and it is gonna be good. Yup, we are even getting 2 more girls to answer phones and assist with customer service. Yup, we are shifting girls around a bit. So I guess that is why I have been ignoring my blog, ha and email. Hiring, ordering stickers and treats, inventory, cleaning,  the team is going on a field trip to get something….(guess what…and if you can guess, which you probably won’t I’ll give you 250 bucks in MJC), and oh my gosh, I need to take my drivers test so I don’t lose my license like by August 8..Dang..dang…

And how about the winners for the outfits. The following gals, please email Sam at samm@matildajaneclothing.com, Tara Hayes, Lolli, mom_to_maddy, Niki Row, Melanie Howard, Kristi, and may Mayernik.  Please be sure to give her your address and daughter’s size. She will ship late next week.  Oh, please use Subject line” Blog Prize”

Thanks to all. And be sure to say an extra prayer for Chelsa. She hasn’t been feeling well and we just can’t handle the thought of her nor anyone to feel uncomfortable.

Well, I guess earlier and it never showed up … it was … getting materials for a BOYS line :-) (hint hint) and my friend tried to guess but her didn’t work either, she said you were starting a new bedding line.

mom2curls - August 3, 2010 - 6:07 am

brittney - August 2, 2010 - 6:23 pm

MacKenzie Meyer - August 2, 2010 - 6:19 pm

or maybe you’re going to open up an MJC Store!!!

Sophia's Mom - August 2, 2010 - 6:18 pm

Okay..one more…yall are going to the local Humane Society…your sweet little kitty would LOVE a friend to play with!! :)

Beautifulclothing - August 2, 2010 - 6:17 pm

You are going to the Lutheran Children’s Hospital to give the children goodies to be more specific. You are going to go to radio stations and announce how to keep kids safe with the Kids Dart Drive Smart Campaign to be more specific than my post below.

Misha - August 2, 2010 - 6:16 pm

You’re all going to get a pink highlight in your hair in honor of Chelsa…or maybe get some breast cancer awareness fabric to do a breast cancer knot dress in honor of her.

Beautifulclothing - August 2, 2010 - 6:13 pm

You are going to the Kids Dart Drive Smart Campaign!

Jamie - August 2, 2010 - 6:05 pm

Um, field trip to get some doggies?

2teenagersandababy - August 2, 2010 - 3:03 pm

You’ve ordered so much more inventory of FT to keep us addicts happy. Now you need more storage, like shelves. That’s what your going to get—shelves.

Andrea - August 2, 2010 - 2:00 pm

You are going to get new material for a new bedding line!

Abranda - August 2, 2010 - 1:55 pm

Going to get materials for a new BOYS line. (HINT HINT)

Andrea - August 2, 2010 - 1:52 pm

Maybe you are going to New York to a fashion show to get new ideas.

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 1:42 pm

I’m really hoping my comments are going through…haven’t seen posted yet.

kimberly - August 2, 2010 - 1:02 pm

to hunt down adorable buttons

Beautifulclothing - August 2, 2010 - 12:40 pm

You all are going to pick out material to make new curtains! You may be going to get some pretty flowers for Chelsa and then you are going to visit her and help out with the kiddos for the day!

Sophia's Mom - August 2, 2010 - 12:37 pm

Hmmm….That’s a hard one….I’m gonna say you are all taking a trip to get a nice cold ICEE or a cool car with the MJC logo so you can drive all over the place while representing the coolest clothes line EVER!!! MJC ROCKS!!!

tree*head - August 2, 2010 - 12:24 pm

…last guess…going to have portraits done?

tree*head - August 2, 2010 - 12:23 pm

….are you all going to a party store to get things for a Company picnic…like a Luau at your house?

tree*head - August 2, 2010 - 12:19 pm

…are you going on a field trip to get another fridge? new ironing board? more racks?

Beautifulclothing - August 2, 2010 - 12:19 pm

You could be going to the Today show or a talk show like Oprah to get more recognition for Matilda Jane. If that would be possible you should GO FOR IT GIRLS! Matilda Jane would grow to a huge company before you knew it! It is already huge, but would get even bigger! That time will come Denise! Love it!

tree*head - August 2, 2010 - 12:17 pm

…a field trip to the beach?
…resort? spa? UPS? a ranch retreat?

Beautifulclothing - August 2, 2010 - 12:16 pm

You may be going to get a steamer or new office chairs. Everyone can pick out their own personal chair! Are you going to Hershey Penn to go to the Crayola factory or the Hershey factory? I have always wanted to go there. You could be going to a amusement park such as Kings Island or Disney World to have a blast! Tattoos seem to be alittle far fetched. New colorful decorative boxes sounds good so that they will stand out from the other bland boxes. New stickers to put on the boxes. You could all be going to make stickers! ;-)

*TKJT* - August 2, 2010 - 12:14 pm

Awww I will say an extra prayer for Chelsa! :( Poor thing! She is absolutely gorgeous…with or without hair!

I have no idea about the field trip but if I were you ladies…after all the hard work lately I think you guys deserve some massages/facials! Ahhhhhh I’m going in this week…can’t wait! :)

tree*head - August 2, 2010 - 12:13 pm

Hmmm…a field trip to Vegas?

JJARMOM - August 2, 2010 - 11:43 am

How about you are taking everyone to the Ice Cream Parlor YUM!!!!

tracy s - August 2, 2010 - 11:13 am

So I don’t see my comment – I think you went to get team photos taken! A photoshoot of your own. My second guess would be you went to get new props for your pictures. A little flea market adventure.

JillRB - August 2, 2010 - 10:29 am

the craft store and picking our some beautiful tissue paper & fall theme decor

JillRB - August 2, 2010 - 10:28 am

taking the team on a tour of UPS and picking out some new boxes/shipping supplies

bcrowell - August 2, 2010 - 9:52 am

i posted my guess days ago…but it isnt there!!! i guessed pretty toes…you know, pedicures! you all deserve some pampering for sure!
Field trip looks amazing!

PeyMom - August 2, 2010 - 9:38 am

I am thinking you girls are heading to the 127 Corridor Sale…The World’s Longest Garage Sale!

AC's Mom - August 2, 2010 - 9:32 am

A field trip to where you grew up?

amanda - August 2, 2010 - 9:28 am

i asked my 2 year old daughter and she said playdoh…..

Elizabeth Hummel - August 2, 2010 - 9:14 am

Are you going to get school supplies??? I love shopping for school supplies! What is it about crisp new folders, new crayons and a new eraser that just make me happy?

Emily - August 2, 2010 - 8:01 am

I know where you all are going or should go….a Field Trip to the SPA!!! I hope I’m right you ALL have been working so hard I know you all need a massage before you become busy again. -Emily C

J.Diddy - August 2, 2010 - 7:31 am

ohhh…maybe u bought a bunch of school supplies and stuff to donate!

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 6:41 am

Additional phones and/or computers….since you are hiring more girls to help with phone calls and emails.

Mdc - August 2, 2010 - 6:39 am

I guessed”matching tattoos” before and I never saw it come up on the comments so just want to make sure you got it:)

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 6:39 am

A Rowenta Pressure Steam Iron so that you can iron faster with better results. And a professional size ironing board.

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 6:35 am

A shirt/dress folder to fold all of those pretty clothes neatly and quickly!

Paci Smuggla (Kathy G) - August 2, 2010 - 6:34 am

Okay….so if you’re in school….you take a field trip to do something fun but educational…

Here’s my best shot….When you’re not in school, you wish for the days when you were and life was simpler….I think you are going to a school to do something fun!

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 6:32 am

A bigger, faster printer for printing invoices and orders. I bet it is impossible for one to keep up!

Berkley Cate - August 2, 2010 - 6:29 am

I HOPE you are going to get some batting/supplies so that you can start making some awesome bedding for all of us MJC addicts! My little girl NEEDS some awesome bedding so that I will be motivated to create her “big girl room.” I saw someone suggest this on facebook and the reply that said it’s in your brain. Now, I have quit looking for bedding, in hopes that you will design some SOON. Just a simple duvet cover and shams with those gorgeous fabrics of yours would be awesome!!

mnm - August 2, 2010 - 6:13 am

my guess is going on a fieldtrip….to get more beautiful fabrics for more gorgeous clothing….overseas maybe??? ha!!

Amy M - August 2, 2010 - 5:36 am

Headed on a field trip to…… have a nice lunch at ziannos… then off to pick out buttons and accessories for the spring platinum…

amanda h - August 2, 2010 - 4:45 am

y’all are going to get spa treatments:)

JJARMOM - August 1, 2010 - 10:44 pm

Maybe going to a water or amusement park or how about a concert. All that would be fun :)

JJARMOM - August 1, 2010 - 10:42 pm

I’m going to say manicures or a spa day.

jenniB - August 1, 2010 - 9:58 pm

Has anyone suggested a disco ball for 435?

Emma's*Mommy - August 1, 2010 - 9:37 pm

First stop on your FT would be to the Mc D’s drive thru…Dt. Cokes for all…then to someplace exotic to find inspiration for next years spring line which I’m sure you are already working on.
Not very creative…I know…but that is why I’m not a fabulous designer and you are.

teresa - August 1, 2010 - 8:17 pm

So, after I hit submit I realized I put 423 and I meant 435!!!! It has been a long day!

teresa - August 1, 2010 - 8:14 pm

You have been working soooo hard to make room for the new “Field Trip” line! Are you going on a “Field Trip” to pick get and bring all the new line to the 423?!? I can’t wait till Friday!!!

Beautifulclothing - July 31, 2010 - 5:11 pm

You all are going to a fabric store to pick out material so that you all can come back and make your own quilt for your bed or picking out bikes together to go bike riding together as a MJ family!

MeganP - July 31, 2010 - 5:07 pm

You are going on a field trip to get new hangers. LOL Or maybe to get some new storage containers. :)

My Little Carolina Girl - July 31, 2010 - 2:01 pm

you all are going to a local hospital to brighten the day of some little girls who have illnesses of their own with some new MJ clothing. Then you all are going to design a MJ shirt for an upcoming Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in support of Chelsa. Finally, you will surprise Chelsa with her shirt and all sign up to Avon Walk the walk for Chelsa. After than you all will sit by the pool, cook out, drink some tasty drinks and relax before the new line releases and its back to chaos. Enjoy the weekend.

Day to the Oh - July 31, 2010 - 1:19 pm

OH, my dear beautifulclothing!!!… love that you caught my SPANX comment! I think we would be good friends. You won the 435 trip with your darling video right? You’re one I voted for! Loved it! And you’re a photog, right? Me too. I think I remember stalking your site, maybe? Where are you located again? Kindred spirits, I tell you. haha (Do you love Anne of Green Gables by any chance???) WAIT! I didn’t even wait for you to answer if you were the winner, but we can still be friends even if none of that is TRUE!!! ;) hahaha SPANX baby! ;)

Mary Kay - July 30, 2010 - 3:01 pm

Wish I had a great idea of where you are headed for a field trip, but at this point in the game most great answers have been taken. Whatever & whereever, I hope it will be a great time! You all deserve it with the hard work and dedication you have shown over the last few weeks. Last week in Northern Wisconsin we had a terrible hail storm. My house was hit hard- we need a new roof, gutters, facia, windows, garage doors, siding & front door! In the middle of my husband & the insurance assessor assessing the damage- who drives down the driveway, but the UPS man! I started jumping up & down, dancing & sceaming- the insurance man looked at me like I was crazy & my husband said, “It must be another Matilda Jane package!” The insurance man then said, “whatever it is must be something really good. I’ve never seen anyone get so excited when their house has this much damage.”

Day to the Oh - July 30, 2010 - 1:56 pm

Alli's Mommy - July 30, 2010 - 12:25 pm

Elsa's_Mom - July 30, 2010 - 11:55 am

Wow! if no one has guessed at the correct ‘field trip’ for your girls – you’ve got some great ideas listed below! I just came over from facebook – saw the post about the site going down for maint. and was shocked at all of the negative comments! Crazy

Farah - July 30, 2010 - 11:47 am

We are sitting here, trying to win a prize and Chelsa is fighting to win her life. The last time she blogged was on the 28th when she shaved her head!!! I was so sadden to hear today that she is not doing too good. My hear and prayers goes out for you beautiful Chelsa!!

ells - July 30, 2010 - 11:40 am

…sushi

ells - July 30, 2010 - 11:36 am

Ice Cream and some Captain

Beautifulclothing - July 30, 2010 - 11:16 am

Yes we are Day to the Oh! I am thinking to the extreme here! They could be going to pick out baby dolls to make baby doll clothing so that little girls can be in matching clothing just like their dollies. Ahhh. That would be very cute. Denise, you are making me go crazy here! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN THOUGH! I love your blog and it is exciting what you are going to think of next!

Debra Stallings - July 30, 2010 - 11:10 am

The girls are going to get a massage for all their hard work. :)

mimi - July 30, 2010 - 11:05 am

Denise, thank you so much for posting more Platinum today. I love the art fair items, always my favorite, and I’m always thankful to get lucky enough to catch a few. I’m old, but quick, got all three of the cute tank tops for my girls from the art fair! Wiggle and Giggle!

Day to the Oh - July 30, 2010 - 10:57 am

HAHAHAHaa Beautifulclothing and I were on the same MJC Jean wavelength!!! Didn’t even see that until after I pushed “post comment”. ;) SMart girls we are!!! ;)

Day to the Oh - July 30, 2010 - 10:55 am

How about to pick up denim for the new jeans you’ll be releasing after Field Trip??? Or maybe an old Coke machine that dispenses the old bottles. Oh, OH, Oh, I know… you said it was empty and you were shifting things around… so how about you’re going to pick up a sign, shelving, and stuff for the part of the wherehouse that will be dedicated now to a real live running store? MJC shopping bags, etc… Hmmm….

Christine Brunell Hammock - July 30, 2010 - 10:53 am

Someplace to get your sanity back?

Jessi - July 30, 2010 - 10:49 am

You are all going to go get….ipads?

Beautifulclothing - July 30, 2010 - 10:47 am

I have already mentioned that you are taking the girls to pick out their own personal phone, but my hubby wants me to make it clear that it is an IPHONE! ;-)

Day to the Oh - July 30, 2010 - 10:45 am

Wait… Betsy just had her sweet baby girl, which she didnt’ know was a girl. Are you going to get her a whole new MJC wardrobe and drop it off at her house??? The girl needs girlie stuff!!! Okay so it won’t fit for awhile, but who wouldn’t want to stare at that in their closet until it does!!! ;)

Beautifulclothing - July 30, 2010 - 10:44 am

You are going to make pottery, pick out fabric for the spring line, get inspired by nature or something else to create a new design for your clothing (inspiration is key sometimes), shoe shopping, going to sea world, You are going to pick out a jean fabic to make your first pair of MJ jeans. ;-) A girl can wish….RIGHT! I have already said company phones. Hmmmm……..You might be going to pick out a kitten for the shop to keep you all company! Furniture for the warehouse…so that when you all take a break you can lay down on the new comfy couch and watch tv. Those long hours can be hard, but well worth it! I hope I am right with one of my guesses!

My little Carolina girl - July 30, 2010 - 10:42 am

Going to Chicago for a girls weekend leaving David at home to handle any last minute field trip needs. Stopping by mcdonalds on your way out to get a diet coke. While in Chicago, get a spa treatment, stroll by the lake, shop, eat a nice meal and drink a few bottles of wine before returning back to Indiana. Oh maybe even stop by and see Ophra while your there. Think of the opera effect you would have if you where spotlighted on her show. Enjoy the weekend!

Day to the Oh - July 30, 2010 - 10:39 am

I haven’t read any of the comments, but my first guess and thought was a store front… a real live MJC store right there in good ol’ Indiana! Yep. That’s what I say. You need your first store in a fun historic part of town. Y’all are going to pick out a spot together. Things are a changing, you said. That’s good change. xo

JodiR - July 30, 2010 - 10:04 am

I hope you are all taking a field trip to get manicures and pedicures since you have been working so hard! BTW, thanks for the new Platinum.

You going on a field trip to do something for the MJC Foundation?? :0)

Amanda D - July 30, 2010 - 8:46 am

Stuff keeps popping up on Platinum again-I made a purchase at 6:30 this morning and again just now. I just keep hitting refresh and new items pop up here and there. I traveled from Florida by myself to art fair this year and yet I still feel the urge to buy more-crazy!

brandi crowell - July 30, 2010 - 8:19 am

R Loomis - July 30, 2010 - 8:07 am

I think the MJC girls are going on a field trip to score you a new pop machine that has Diet Coke as a beverage option!!

DKW - July 30, 2010 - 8:05 am

I’ve had some really lame-o ideas overnight but I’m still going to post them on the off chance that one of them is right!

1. state fair
2. fortune teller
3. go to get fingerprinted
4. go to a recording studio to make a song for the website (and as a bonus, film a music video)
5. go to a trunk show (hahaha)
6. go to make purses
7. go as a group to be a judge for a 4-H fashion show (or some similar event)

WhitleyKate's mom - July 30, 2010 - 7:12 am

Hugs and prayers to Chelsa! My son and I are debating where you might go for a field trip! You can make a “Fields” trip and come to good ‘ol Columbus and pay us a visit! LOL The obvious would be going for Diet Cokes, but you said we probably wouldn’t guess, so that can’t be it. Still thinking…

Mdc - July 30, 2010 - 7:12 am

Going on a field trip to get some new art supplies to decorate 435 and to draw new clothing ideas:)

Joyce - July 30, 2010 - 6:24 am

Hugs to Chelsea…I can’t even imagine going through something like that while trying to take care of little ones. May she and all mothers out there cherish those special moments we have with our little ones.

MaeMomma - July 30, 2010 - 6:23 am

My guess is out to a nice dinner, then to get “sussies” (what some people in the south call small gifts and presents)for Chelsa. Praying for Chelsa and your entire family!

Joyce - July 30, 2010 - 6:19 am

Maybe you are going on a “field trip” to get new phones? OR maybe computers? a dog?

Beautifulclothing - July 30, 2010 - 6:18 am

Rugs for the floor! You can each pick out one very pretty one and name it after yourself so you can organize better. If someone is looking for something you can tell them that it is over there on the so and so rug. LOL!

shevaun - July 30, 2010 - 6:08 am

Sending prayers to Chelsa. I think that the field trip is going to be somewhere where you go to draw your inspiration from, and you want to share it with the rest of the team. Stuck on a specific location…maybe somewhere outdoors?

Amy - July 30, 2010 - 4:57 am

Going to get new computers, ribbon and tissue for the new line, photo for a new 435 group girls photo, some rest, still thinking of ideas…

keira's mom - July 29, 2010 - 11:35 pm

A BIG soda machine that will only hold MCD coke :)

Darlene, Mom to Four Princesses! - July 29, 2010 - 8:24 pm

cappucinno machine…coffee machine…

Hilary Lunke - July 29, 2010 - 8:24 pm

I gotta guess tissue papers too…there are always such unique and wonderful patterns adorning each shipment!

DKW - July 29, 2010 - 8:24 pm

custom made shoes? custom made jeans?

mom2curls - July 29, 2010 - 8:22 pm

Thoughts and prayers with Chelsa…Love all of the Field trip previews..My guess for a field trip would be to find a larger tent for next years festivities…

DKW - July 29, 2010 - 8:22 pm

lunch boxes?

Nicole P - July 29, 2010 - 8:22 pm

Just a wild guess…. New signs for the building?! :)

DKW - July 29, 2010 - 8:22 pm

matching luggage?

BeckyM - July 29, 2010 - 8:21 pm

One more…a field trip to get a new MJ car. You know the ones that have advertising on them. That would be fun. Or maybe a new fridge/freezer to keep your diet coke cold.

saoirse's mom - July 29, 2010 - 8:21 pm

I’m going to guess the girls are going on a Field Trip to pick our some fresh, new ribbon to wrap all of our goodies in.

Beautifulclothing - July 29, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Maybe you all are going to go shopping for a bigger warehouse or another warehouse. A location for an additional store, new lighting, new shelves, a new floor, new cash register or another register, maybe you all are going on a mini vacation for all the hard work that was done (massages or haircuts) maybe you are buying all your team a new car or something for them for all there hard work. Hmmm, maybe you are treating them to manicures or pedicures or to get everyone a new sewing machine! I will be pondering and I am sure will guess some more! This is a super opportunity! :-) You are so generous Denise!

Holly's Mama - July 29, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Some Fans? lol I know I need to keep thinking…

Michelle L. - July 29, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Hmmm, i’m thinking a cool treat at the icecream shop:) Maybe a bicycle ride there too!

Annette M - July 29, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Darlene, Mom to Four Princesses! - July 29, 2010 - 8:19 pm

Niki Rowe - July 29, 2010 - 8:18 pm

I guess…..which you don’t need because you are already full of ideas…but my guess is for some ideas and inspirations for a new line.

tapnteague - July 29, 2010 - 8:18 pm

The obvious would be a field trip to pick out a new A/C!?

or…field trip to the lake?

Darlene, Mom to Four Princesses! - July 29, 2010 - 8:18 pm

new computers, desks ,chairs…. furniture….

Bridgette - July 29, 2010 - 8:17 pm

Tonya Whitlock - July 29, 2010 - 8:17 pm

All the boxes that you’re going to need to send out the new items! :-)

BeckyM - July 29, 2010 - 8:17 pm

…to get one of those expensive chairs you are in love with.

jenniB - July 29, 2010 - 8:17 pm

How about a warehouse CAT? or some other pet? Probably not the best idea around clothes…so ummm, furniture for 435 for Diet Coke breaks?

Holly's Mama - July 29, 2010 - 8:17 pm

I hope Chelsea feels better soon! Definitely a prayer for her. I will have to ponder the Field Trip question a bit more…be back later if I get a good idea.

BeckyM - July 29, 2010 - 8:16 pm

BeckyM - July 29, 2010 - 8:15 pm
