The ribbon display

I went to my store today, Jeremy and Chopper came along with me to get things ready for the big warehouse sale and my maintenance guy Dennis stopped in. I hadn't seen him in months, since before my Dad's accident. He asked me where I've been and I told him about my Father and how hard it was for me to even come to the store, for at least 2 months after his accident. I tried a couple times but I just had panic attacks once I opened the door and ended up leaving. He knew how much my Father had done for me and how he was in there doing everything he could to get it all set up, because Dennis was there too; getting things straightened out that needed to be done me being a new tenant and all.

Dennis walked in just as I was ready to have a melt down and I was fighting back the tears. The last time my Dad was at my store was when we had dropped my ribbon display off. I bought it from Recollections when they went out of business. The whole thing had to be taken apart to get it out of there and to my store because of how large it was. It was late and we were tired and just set it in the doorway against the wall and he said he'd put it together later. That was fine with me because I was tired too. We were all hungry and my brother and his friend had to help us get it out of the truck, and they weren't trying to stay around any longer then they had to. Well my Dad never made it back to put that display together. I think that's one reason why it was so hard for me to go back there. It just sat in the doorway. So today Jeremy and I put it together. I couldn't figure out some of it and was getting so frustrated. I was so mad because my Dad was suppose to be there helping me put it together. When he was taking it apart I told him "I'll never figure out how to put it back together." He said "Don't worry about it! I'll know how to put it back together." Well, he wasn't there to help me. As I felt my eyes start to well up the door opened and there was Dennis.

Shortly after Dennis left I said lets call it quits. I just wanted to get out of there. It's amazing how in an instant I just realize it's real. So I didn't get as much as I planned to done today at all, but I did get home just in time to relieve my mom of Maddy. She was having a rough day and Maddy wasn't too happy either. It turns out Maddy wasn't too happy because she was cutting her first tooth!

I've been working on the site, still plugging away at getting it all fixed. I need to make room for some new stuff so I have decided to have my first ever warehouse sale! I am renting out the mason's hall up the street and making an all day event of it!! August 2nd 2008 will be the day and you won't want to miss it!! The sale will begin at 10 AM and last until 8 PM. It will be held at Freedom No. 12, 2253 Liberty Road, Eldersburg, MD 21784. I promise it will be worth the drive! All your favorite companies will be up to 50% off, maybe even more! I just started working on the wonderful pricing of everything! I can't help but go crazy with the pricing gun and offer up some AWESOME deals. I'm talking 1,000's and 1,000's of products from companies you LOVE!!! Think Prima, K&Company, 3 bugs in a Rug, Autumn Leaves, Queen & Company, Making Memories, Creative Imaginations, Heidi Swapp, Around the Block, Crafts, Chatterbox and the list goes ON AND ON!!!!! Please come out and see me! I'm hoping for a big turn out!

SOOOOOOOO... of course I want you to tell all your friends about it! I figure what better time to offer a RAK then now! So........ all you have to do is post about this on your blog or where ever and leave a comment with the link to where you posted about it at on this post and I'll draw a winner after the sale on August 2nd for over $50 worth of product. And for every 50 people that do it I'll pull another winner for a RAK. For example, let's say I have 150 comments with links to where you posted it.. then I would draw 3 winners for over $50 worth of product. Sound good?!? Of course you don't have to be in Maryland or anywhere near it to post about it on your blog. You never know where all the lurkers are from that are checking out your blog. So no matter where your from if you post about it don't forget to come back here and leave me a message in this post so your entered into the drawing!!

And because I'm trying to keep going these days, even though it's so hard. I've been using my tears as modivation and drive and I just keep telling myself my Dad would want me to move forward, even though that seems impossible right. We actually had a warehouse sale scheduled that my Dad was going to help me with before he had his accident. I of course canceled it once he had his accident and we didn't know how long he was going to be in the hospital. It was originally scheduled for the week he passed away. I guess that's why it's been so hard for me to do this. I know it's something I have to do though and I don't know that I'll ever really be ready for it but I must do it. Anyway.. here's one of the boards that I did for my Dad's viewing.. I still can't believe he's gone.. If you click on the picture you can see the whole thing.
