PHEW!

ok so it has been awhile and I owe all of you some news! 

Well the shop has officially opened,

 and this is literally my first chance to blog in forever

 and I miss you all so much! 

I will keep it short and sweet 

because I really need to get to sleep. 

So here is a peek at the door not quite finished 

last thursday night...

Here is a view from behind the counter

upstairs on Sunday.

We opened over the weekend

3 levels full and the turnout was wonderful

in spite of the rain...

lots more to come soon!

My blessed mess...

I am blessed with a wonderful mess!

My sweet mamma has been helping me unpack and

 restack the new tchatchkie heaven!

two 39 gallon trash bags full of bubble wrap and 

2 of peanuts 24 boxes 

and this enormous pile of rubber bands...

Here is a close up of moms two favorite shelves

She also pointed out to me how many of the "girls" looked

like the fabulous Doris Day!

Here is the progress on the other side

And here is the full view of the new "digs"

I am hoping to be finished by weeks end, 

pray hard for that one girls!

Many new songs have been made up about the tchatchkie 

and many new forms of spelling and LOTS and Lots of jokes!

maybe I'll share some but not tonight...

Have a great week!

Lazy days of Summer

Pack, MOVE, unpack....

that has been summer and I am over it!

So with Bluebird Lane set to open Sept. 17th

I decided to not work 18/7 the last 2 weeks

and enjoy the kids and warm weather before I am

completely buried again.... I am still working 10 hrs

a day or so between unpacking and on the computer 

setting up accounts and ordering....

Most of the kitchen is unpacked,

I have the kids rooms done...

his is all the way done video game themed out

hers is 75 percent done completely changed 

and grown up lots of black, zebra, and pops 

of red, hot pink, and turquoise.

And well this is the new Hubby's office/ my studio

split down the middle, can you spy my white plastic

drawers way in the back?

This is the before we've made progress 

since this but not quite there yet!

Have a wonderful weekend!
