I wanted to post pics of the renovation process but I lost them during an upload from my phone. It’s just as well, it’s taking forever for me to get this done. Part of me wishes I had the money to hire people to do this for me but part of me is so happy to be able to do this; to have this great opportunity at seizing my dream, I am just thrilled. My friend Tony is going part-time at his job and said he’d help me with the store, and so is my friend Angela.

I’m working a full-time job, I’m telecommuting from home which is great! because I can get the kids off to school and be home when they get done. I love the job and plan to work it for a while because the store is going to be in the red for a few years. But it is full-time and basically I just have a few hours during the morning to work on store stuff, and one weekend day. My husband works full-time too, he’s a teacher, and doesn’t have a lot of time during the week to help out. I have every confidence though, it will all work out!

I won’t be able to do any work on the store until this Saturday, I will definitely take more pics and post them.
