Consignment Sale - Post Sale Wrap Up

July 19, 2009

WOOHOO! I must say I was uncertain how this event would evolve. I was stepping outside the box by offering to hostess this event but I was brave - haha - I survived!!  I am proud to say that I think everyone had a fabulous time!

We had the pre-sale shopping night for consignors on Friday night. WOW! You ladies are some serious shoppers! I loved that everyone was milling about, fondling all the goodies, ogling the cheap prices, in general having a great time! The set up on Friday during the day was certainly worth the effort to see your smiling faces Friday night. A big thanks goes out to Robin and Nikki! Without you guys I would have been curled up in the fetal position sucking my thumb before 6:00 for certain!!

We opened again for business Saturday morning and I’m happy to say that we had people in the door at 8:05! I wasn’t quite sure that the advertising would work but it did! Of course we drilled everyone who came in about how they heard about us. I apologize if you were in the first wave through the door - we were not trying to be rude, we were just tickled pink you were there ;)

The flow of shoppers was steady throughout the day and everyone was so nice! It was great to meet all of you. Of course I can’t give details without talking about the hubster. The most fabulous, supportive guy on the planet was putting out signs all through White House Saturday morning. Then he was the delivery boy for lunch and the box hauler at the end of the day. Thank you Patrick! You make my life so much easier!!

All in all I had a fabulous time and I hope if you attended you did as well. I will definitely hold this event again and maybe even do another one before Christmas. So if you are not on my mailing list make sure you sign up so you won’t miss out on the details next time!

Thank you to everyone who helped and shopped! I appreciate each and every one of you :)

I LOVE what I do!

Okay - now for a little Stacie talk -

If you know me then you know I’m crazy ;) Good kinda crazy but still crazy! I LOVE Stampin’ Up! but that doesn’t mean you must sign up or that I will ever pressure you to do so. I’d love to have you join us for a club or class or even a private class for you and your friends just as much as I’d love for you to join my team. The biggest thing to me is that you have fun. There’s nothing better than getting together with the gals and hanging out! It’s so nice to have some down time with the hectic lifestyles that have taken over our world.

So if you live nearby I want to see your shining face! Click on View My Events to see when we can get together!

Hana’s Red Sand Beach

April 10, 2009

Finally the last of the Road to Hana series! Snooze city for some maybe but we had a blast and we wouldn’t have had the opportunity if not for my clients! Thank you again for helping me attain my goal :)

Okay so we were exhausted and hungry by this point. We’ve spent the whole day just GETTING to Hana and we still have to return home! But Patrick remembered that one of the items on my list for Hawaii is seeing the Red Sand Beach in Hana. Our guidebook didn’t list a red sand option for the Big Island so this was our only chance. I was so tired I was ready to just forget it but nooooo, he was not to be deterred. He found the location - with the help of a map from a general store - and he was determined we were going.  We parked on a public street and went traipsing behind what was either a community center or school. It was at this point that I mentioned that the guidebook said we had to trespass on private property to reach the beach - he didn’t even pause. If we were on private property I have no idea but there were no signs forbidding us. We should have had better shoes though because the guidebook was right - flip flops were not the best option! The trail was steep in a big way, there were no steps, no hand rails but it was worth it. Unfortunately it was almost dark by the time we made it to see the beach so the picture of it is dark. But it was beautiful! If we’d spent the night I’m sure we would have returned the next day but we still still had to drive back to the Inn.



Road to Hana Keanuea Park

April 10, 2009

We played in the tide pools and the picture with the white legs is some type of sea creature. We saw several neat fish and black crabs. We also decided it would be fun to get the picture with the wave crashing behind us. Fun for Patrick, shower for Stacie! We had a great time though just poking around checking out shoreline.

Maui, Hawii - Road to Hana

Scenery Favorite

April 5, 2009

So “shutterbug” would be an appropriate word for me. Me and my SLR are fast friends! These are some of my favorite shots from our whole trip.

This amazing little area was right off the road. We had stopped to see some of the water recycling they have in action and were treated to this lush little view. I don’t remember all the details but they have an extensive water recovery system in place in this area. Along the side of the road there is a gulley of sorts. It’s concrete and open but sloped and curved so that all water ends there and then funnels into these tunnel pathways. So anyway we stopped to check out the water system and were rewarded with a little glimpse of paradise - nice trade!

And yeah, that sign does say “Danger - No trespassing” Unfortunately we didn’t see it until we had already crossed the bridge and came back :)
