Some people call us Crazy...

Some people call us Crazy; Some People call us Nuts; I'm calling myself DOG TIRED.

As you read in the newsletter today the scrapbook *side* of the store is getting more space. ALOT more which really will have to be explained when you come in; well you will be able to see ALOT of the space being used now cause the store is a L shaped not one big aisle opening with more space to come. Cause the wall that is up there now is coming down. But they are going to work behind it for a couple weeks making a *new* wall before tearing the *old* wall down.

We knew the contractors were starting *soon* but not really *when* as we were awaiting word from head office in Ontario of our landlords to give the big go ahead. The call came today late this morning AFTER 20+ boxes of new product arrived. We got really talking then about how we were going to make it work - mind you we have talked and drew more floor plans out in the past Month; even on napkins in restaurants to make this work right for *us*. One thing lead to another and we started changing sides right then with each other. See you really have to come in to see all this. I think we suprised ourselves on the progress we made today. It looks pretty darn cool in there. A little cyclonish in some areas but cool none the less. Sally, I'm so glad you were there today and I promise it will look better when you work next. Tori is coming to work tomorrow for a couple hours to help out. Mind you she drives a hard bargain and thought that she should get paid an engineers wage to put the new cardstock out....okay back to the story of *today*....

Okay, so picture this. We are moving stuff around, paper racks, a gazillion pegged product, robs counters, service area benches etc. All over the place. Mr. Contractor walks in and says so we will be here to start on Monday. My answer, Ummmmmm NO that is a little unrealistic.

You see in order for the *new* wall to be built we have to clear out EVERYTHING out back where Robs Service area & classroom is so that the new Walls and Bathrooms can be built. We still don't even have the store looking glamorous yet. Mr. Contractor agrees that Wednesday is okay to start. Whew.

Crazy was our day. Nuts will be the next couple. Dog Tired is the right now.

NIGHT :)
