What I've Been Up To

Work Life:

Sometimes the universe aligns and both of your managers need the SAME Friday off! In almost two years, this has NEVER happened! But we make it work! Hubby opened (actually he ended up being there all day because we were CRAZY busy) and I closed!

Ready for work:

And then once you get to work you have to make two of these guys:

They turned out so cute though!

And during the week, we've been heading to the store to organize the back room:

Ah, the fun life of owning a business!! After this is done we get to do our own inventory!! Along with the constant ordering for everyday business and planning for future holidays! I love my job, I love everything I get to do even if it means working til 7 one night and being back at work at 6 the next morning!

Craft Life:

We have been so busy setting for Halloween, reorganizing the backroom, and just all the everyday stuff of running a business that I haven't had too much time for crafting but I have been able to check off two crafts on my list.

I made this adorable sign for our front door! Fabric-wrapped board, then another board glued on top and vinyl letters! Super easy actually! And I ordered the fabric from fabric.com and I am hooked! No more standing in line at Jo-Ann's waiting for fabric to be cut? Sign me up!

I just made this one earlier today:

Board and hooks from Home Depot and vinyl letters = towel racks! Can't wait to hang these guys up in the bathroom and take down that awful towel rack!

And of course, Exercise Life:

Mostly just trying to run on this guy every day:

I love having him in the basement!! (He was all I wanted for my birthday!) I also have an exercise bike down there. I usually run/walk one mile on the treadmill and then do 1-2 miles on the bike depending on how I feel and how much time I have. I skipped Friday because of work and I usually don't workout on Saturdays (because we work) and Sundays I rest. I have another post planned for my running routine so I won't spoil anything here!

Well that's what I've been doing lately!

thanks for stopping by!
