As the NJ/NY/PA team grew it became increasing clear that we needed a name. So last Tuesday we finally decided: Tri-State Toolers. Tagline: We are Independent Consultants for NJ/NY/PA and beyond...
Well the tagline might be a bit wordy but we are making the final decisions now!!!

Unplanned Curb-side Shopping
Ran out to Michaels to get this nifty little tool called the Crop-a-dile Its a great tool that allows you to punch different sized holes in a variety of materials. It also allows you to set eyelets without even breaking a sweat.
On my way home I discovers a lot of great items on the street. Upon further investigation - I found out it was Bulk Junk day in Fanwood ,NJ. Tons really great items just sitting on the curb. A resident told me that most people put their stuff out days before pick-up day as they want the good stuff to find a home! How about that? Recycling or shall I say Freecycling at it's best.
So I found a few good things I could use in my Tomboy Tools
demonstrations!
Have a great day! Get out there and "do" something good!

It's here - It's really here!
Well folks I spoke too soon. Just as I got up from the computer, I heard the sounds of a large truck backing into my driveway. It was Izzy! (God I love my UPS guy - HE IS THE BEST!) He was delivering my 10 cases of hammers and the 1 box full of Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation awareness information... those folks are s-e-r-i-o-u-s! He wouldn't even take a tip!
Anywho - it's all here... Now, who wants a hammer?

S-t-i-l-l W-a-i-t-i-n-g!
This has to be the longest 3 days ever! my pink hammer boxes still are not here yet... man!
Well there are other things to do. I contacted the PA and surrounding folk about the training I would like to do in York PA. This is a great way for interested folk to get up-close and personal with Tomboy Tools. So far it's a toss up b/n Saturday Sept 23rd and Saturday Nov 11th. If you are in the area, let me know - you can join in on the fun!!!!

Hey, I'm blogging here!
Star Date September 13th, 2006 - I've always wanted to do that. Well folks I am now an official blogger. I thought this would be a great way to chronicle a day in the life of a Tomboy Tools Home Consultant.
Well, today I expected 10 cases of the infamous pink hammers. Well - it's only infamous to a little disease called breast cancer. The $6.00 for the sales of this hammer will go toward breast cancer awareness and finding a cure. Oh wait - here's the official jargon:
September 1, 2006 Denver, CO Tomboy Tools announced today that they will introduce their first special edition pink tool in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. On September 1, 2006 the women's tool and home improvement educational company will make the Pink for a Purpose hammer available for $14.95, and donate $6.00 for each hammer sold. Tomboy Tools has committed to donating a minimum of $100,000 by August 30, 2007, but the goal is to sell 100,000 pink hammers over the next year, contributing $600,000 to the Komen Foundation.
The mission of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.
So, my personal commitment to this is to sell atleast 3,000 hammers! That's 8 hammers a day for 365 days! ...can't wait until my ship(ment) comes in! ;) NJT
