we decked the halls.
spent days setting up and making things pretty.
tried some new things like advertising on facebook and craigslist.
neither of which worked...that i know of.
this year we wanted to try a Charity Night. our thought was: to raise a little money for a couple of charities and at the same time try to lessen the massive rush we usually get on the opening morning.
oops...
i guess we didn't charge enough ($5). it was utter chaos!
don't judge me by my wrinkled tablecloths! some things have to give.
it was still really fun and we were able to raise a couple hundred $$ for Laundry Love and Open House Ministries. super cool.
jess painted this snowman while staying over at my mom's a few weeks ago.
i'm still in awe! she is quite the entrepreneur. begging us to make prints and magnets for her and scouring my drawers for blank cards that she can make her own.
my heart swells with joy at her enthusiasm.
one weekend down. and one more to go.
first though. Thanksgiving!
today i'm thankful for my amazing employees that bust a move when i need them to.
for friends and family that come beside me in my crazy life.
and i'm thankful and deeply moved by people who like what i do-enough to want it in their homes.
God is good to me.
