Holiday Open House...

... begins tomorrow! 

Ready or not!

Also the Autumn Festival at the

  Qwest Center in downtown Omaha. 

It's midnight and am I ready... 

not yet! 

Began the day trying to finish up some projects

in the garage when I heard a big crash... 

the wind blew our booth display over

that was staged out on our deck. 

And yes... it fell apart and had to be rebuilt.

So that put us a few hours behind.

It was 6:17 and we were just heading to

 storage to gather our goods... two trucks, a trailer

 and a car full to take to the show. We have 

to be done and out of there by 10:00! 

We did save some goodies for the shop too!

And more to come each Saturday! 

And yes... We did it!!!

Thanks to my boys & their girls who came

to help! They hauled and priced and displayed

until everything had a home under the tin roof. 

It looked pretty darn cute! Much more than 

I expected it to be. Truthfully I was so tired

that I was ready to just line up 

the stuff and call it a night. 

Their creativity shined through! 

I just hope now I can pull the shop together
by 10:00 tomorrow morning!
So much more to do!!!!
Displays to finish, counter to clear, patio
to decorate, things to be priced...
and the list goes on & on & on!
At this point we just do our best &
let go of the thought that it isn't just the
way we planned.  
 

We just hope that we've done a good 

enough job to put a smile on

our customers faces! 

That when they walk in the door

of our little bit of a country store,

 they'll feel like it's "Beginning to look

a lot like Christmas!" 

And they'll leave "whistling" a 

merry tune!

If I'm not smiling tomorrow...

it's because I'm sleeping on my feet! 

5:00 a.m. is going to come really early. 

Should I be writing this at midnight...

no! but, somehow it's therapeutic! :)

Night!
