Just Another Day in Paradise!

Right now I am in Key West, Florida receiving a much needed rest after my first four months of owning the Scrapbook Pad.  Initially I dreaded leaving the store - much as a new mother might dread leaving her new baby - but with a week at our time share already booked, I scribbled out detailed notes and instructions, patted the store on the rump and off momma went, leaving the store in very capable hands.

I tell you, this has been SO rejuvenating!  I’ve received plenty of sleep and I wake up every morning thinking about the store, ideas for end caps and displays, and ways to please our terrific customers.  I read the most recent CK and the Autumn Leaves Look Book all the way back from the Dry Tortugas Islands this afternoon and I truly am energized and ready to get back to Colleyville and jump in head first with renewed vigor!

I’ve told Bill that this has been the perfect remedy for a weary soul and that he should just whisk me off to someplace “paradise-like” every 3 or 4 months if he really wants to get the work out of me.  He just smiled.  Hmmmm.

See you next week when I get back.  Stop by and say hello!  I’ll be the one looking bright eyed, full of energy and just a little bit sun kissed!  See you at the Pad!
