new record

i must say, that this is probably the speediest build-out in history. it took me, my mother, my aunt and uncle, to help make my visual dream a reality. we finished all the basics, now its time to get everything organized and displayed. but first, we rest!

i would give you details, but it would be better as a surprise. ;)

slow but steady

im the type to do everything that i can possibly do before it needs to be done (well, this is a selective ocd behavior). it seriously pays off later, trust me. so far i have tagged any inventory that has come in, which includes... reusable shopping bags, clothing galore, and jewelry. who doesn't like to go to the post office and get tons of boxes, or have the ups man drive up every other day? i sure as heck love it. along with inventory, i have been getting all the necessary items ordered too, hangers, mannequins, hang tags and other miscellaneous printing. today i volunteered my mom to help put on these clear grip things for the bamboo hangers, they were a pain in the you know what, but we got THAT out of the way. i also strung and hole-punched 100+ hang-tags along with ordering more inventory, and addressing invitations. this is fun. seriously. when does the hard part come? hopefully never.
