Almost December

Sorry sorry sorry.....I know it has been so long since I have written.  So much has happened!  A brief summary:

Carole and I lost our lease and were basically kicked out of the old house (store)

Carole is on a new adventure and I have re-located and am on my own  (at a new store)

The old store is now a marijuana store and giving the landlord more money for rent!

The old store got shut down by the feds for distributing marijuana!

Hunter (my youngest son)  and I just returned last week from Anaheim California where he competed in his Irish dance and is now going on to Nationals next Summer in Chicago (in July) (yuck) He is super excited about this!

We just returned from our family yearly trip to Pacific Beach for Thanksgiving !  I do the bazaar at Ocean Shores and the family plays Risk, watches movies and plays on the beach!  It is always a great time!

At this moment, doing laundry from the beach, and emptying out the coolers from the beach trip.

And that should bring you all up to date.  I will try to be better!

I just read the last entry to my blog, It was kind of sad...but hopeful.  And here I am 2 weeks later on my second week in business, so excited about the "new store"  My husband and 2 boys have been so instrumental in the opening of this new adventure, I could not have done it without them and am so grateful for all their love and support! 

I just had the GRAND OPENING this last weekend !  I would have to say it was GRAND alright!  It was so busy at one point on Saturday I thought...I wonder how many people CAN be in here at one time?  I had a couple of GREAT demos and make and takes too!  Thank you thank you thank you to Cheri, Tangie, Sherry and Becky for all their dedication and the giving of their time so we could had a great opening!!!!!

Closing Doors!

I have heard it said...that where one door closes, another opens!

This is what has happened recently at Sharin Memories.  Two weeks ago, I was a sad, hurt crazy lady who had just been told that our lease had expired and that they would NOT be renewing it!  We had 16 days to vacate the premises, liquidate all of the product in our store, and split the assets. say goodbye to all my friends, look for a NEW place (hmmm, maybe)...What a day that was.

Well lots of worrying and tears and sadness was going on in my heart.  Thanks to all of  you, my friends and loyal customers, I have decided to re-open!  And I have found a wonderful place.  It is a bit smaller, but we will make do.  I love it!  I have been working hard and fast for a week and and  hoping to re-open on September 1st. 

I have some beautiful paper lines in already.  Take a look!  Let me know what you think, and what you would like me to get into the store!

I cannot express how lucky and blessed I am to have such GREAT customers that I call my friends...thank you so much for all your help and love and support!

WELL JUST LIKE THE WEATHER AROUND HERE...

Things are always subject to change.   There I was Last Friday at work.....working HARD as usual (bwwaa ha ha) looking at NEW product from one of my favorite reps...and the landlord walks in and waves a paper in my face and tells me our lease is up and we have to be OUT in 16 days.......

Whaaaat?????  I know right?  I am still reeling a little bit about it.  I was really crabby and quite hateful and so so sad...crying most of the weekend.  I thought... had WE done something wrong?!?  DID the landlords hated us?!?  What in the name of all that is good and right is going on here?!?

Well as it turns out...it was nothing personal.....Well IT IS PERSONAL to me!!!  To kick me out of this store that I love!  You are damn right is is personal!  To take away my CHOICE!!!  Now what???  What am I going to do, how will I make this work?  Well after many herbal supplements....and lots of hugs and calming words from my Fabulous husband and my wonderful children...and all my amazing friends....I will tell you what I am going to do...

I am going to keep on keeping on!!!!  That is it, I got a commercial real estate lady from my friend Kim (thank you Kimmy)  we looked at a  bunch of places....I have had talks with my friends parental units ( thank you Kirstin) My fabulous friends have been praying for me (thank you Sherry and Becky) I have decided to remain WIDE OPEN to receive all ideas!

Ask Believe and Receive!  

Good things are coming my way!

I will keep you posted!

Thank you to all my friends, I love you all!
