We're busy getting everything ready for tomorrow's celebration!! I still can't believe it's been THREE years!!! Seems like just last week that we were irritating the UPS man with our 100 boxes of Bazzill cardstock!!! Staying up all night long painting the walls pink while the guys painted the brown dots!! Eating pizza on the floor at 11:00pm!! I can still remember my first display that i merchandised!! it was All My Memories!!! (it took me THREE hours!! - it had to be JUST PERFECT!) i remember our opening day......i had been looking forward to this for SO LONG!! seemed like it was NEVER going to arrive!!! it was a rainy, dreary day, AND I OVERSLEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yep - you read that right!!! so there i was, screaming at the kids to GET UP AND GET DRESSED (rocky was out of town on business!) ... no breakfast for us, i don't' even remember if i had them brush their teeth!!? ( i brushed mine!) (oopsies!).....i still managed to make it here JUST as mom unlocked the doors!! BUT, as i pulled up into the parking lot of the store - seeing the women CAMPED out in front of the store - with their umbrellas, lawn chairs and coffee - i still get tears in my eyes!! THAT moment is one that i go back to OFTEN, when things aren't "what i thought they would be", when i get one of those "poor me" moments, it's one of the "happy places" i go to!!......(thank you bonnie, jaki, amy, lou ann, and their gang!) Oh, it's been such a great ride!! Here's to the next THREE years!! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR SUPPORTING US!! Especially NOW!! With the economy in the shape that it's in - i'll be honest - it's scary to think about and hear about other independent retailers struggling.....while the big box stores are doing fine - so we want to thank you for continuing to support your local retailer!! We REALLY do appreciate it!!!
Okay - so on to tomorrow's festivities!! The LOTM is ready to GO!! and i PROMISE you it will not still be here at NOON!!
