Gwyneth finally received her birthday gift. She had gift cards just burning a hole in her pocket and couldn’t decide what to do with them. She finally decided she wanted a sewing machine and she got a good one. She’s been sewing every evening and just loves it. I do love seeing this crafty girl in action. 

I finally closed on Color Me Mine at the Orchards. The previous owner wanted to retire and I was ready to start a new adventure. It was a looooong and rather painful process, but now that its finally done and we’re running the store I couldn’t be happier. There is a big ol’ learning curve and I’m figuring it out slowly. The girls are pretty darn happy about it too. 

August 31st we joined the staff for the final inventory count and then took over ownership on September 1st. 

I am blessed to have such a loving, caring and very patient family. I got very lucky in the husband and kiddo department. These peeps sure are good to me. 

We inherited the store in a bit of a mess and spent the first few weeks just trying to get cleaned up. 

There is still a lot of work to be done, but we’re getting there! 

Just a few of the papers that had to be reviewed with my attorneys. This is just my lease. The stacks of papers were endless. I think I had a headache for 3 months straight. 

But the work was worth it and here we are. What more can a gal ask for?
