The end is in sight...but new beginnings are near!

I can not believe the end of the year is only a few days away!! It has been a very busy and hectic year, lots of changes are under way at the moment, not really sure where the future is headed...But, I hope it's great!!

I am in the process of moving my shop. My equipment is all coming to the house, for now atleast, and retail items are being moved to Grandmas Gardens Gift House, which is owned by Scott's Aunt. We have been working together since I moved into the current location in April of 2009 and had previously worked together at NCTC years ago. I am looking forward to this for several reasons... I will be working out of the house most of the time. This will allow me to better achieve a schedule. Right now I do screen printing on Mondays and other work during the week. Sometimes, I have much more printing than can be accomplished in one day, leaving me no option other than to close the doors for a day, or work after work, which isn't always so great when you have a family. It seems there is always so much to be done that gets pushed aside for work to get done. This will also give me the opportunity to travel for work and allow me to be home when the boys get out of school. B has been slacking in the homework department, so we are gonna get back on top of this! I will also be working in the gift house on Mondays, a chance to get out of the house, help out, and hopefully for those customers that want to visit in person a day to do so. I am really excited about the changes, (even though making this choice was very difficult) mainly because I will be able to manage my schedule a little LOT better!!

Even though the weather has been pretty decent, especially compared to the last several years, I can not wait for spring!! I love when everything seems to come back to life, the smell of cut grass, thunderstorms, (no wind please), and the warmth of the summer sun!! Not to mention longer days!!

Hope everyone has had a great time with their families for the holidays and that you all have a Happy New Year!!
