What a BUSY weekend! Spent Friday preparing for our BIG parking lot sale at our store Quinlan Market Place - it was exhausting.We were hoping to add more awareness and exposure for our business, but with the threat of rain all morning it seemed to get a slow start. By the early afternoon more people started to flow through and it seemed we might make back what we invested to promote the event and the possibiilty to add a couple more vendors. It started at 9am and ended at 5pm - a long day, plus the cleanup!
After 2 days of non-stop work, I barely made it out of bed this morning and had to be back at the shop by 12pm - ugh! But finally got going and made it there by 12:05 and of course it ended up being a slow day. We pay our vendors 2x a month and today being the 1st it was a nice day to get all of the sales from the last 2 weeks entered, printed and ready for payouts. My son was a big help in getting this task completed and I was thankful he decided to come with us today. Our store hours are 12-4pm on Sundays so it is a short day and we were home at a decent hour.
Have I mentioned that I have the worlds best mom?! She had extra porkchops she grilled today and had them ready for me to pickup as we drove by her house this afternoon - I live across the street from her :D... All we had to do was heat up some veggies, add some leftover bread sticks from last nights' Pizza Hut "Dinner in a Box" and dinner was complete! THANKS Mom!!...P.S., I Love YOU to the moon and back!
Speaking of my mom, she loves butterflies. Everytime she sees one, she says "Hi momma" referring to her beloved mother, my beloved granny who passed on in 2004 (after 10 years, I still miss her everyday). In honor of her I leave with you a link to a sweet kit found on the Hybrid Chicks by
