But again I say THANK HEAVENS we are busy, we really didn't know what to expect this year with the economy so we are very happy, tired but happy!<br /><br />We had a HUGE Mother's Day weekend Sale, we open at 9 and had people there waiting at 7:45! YIKES lol. Plus we did Kids Club that Saturday and had kids planting a flower and painting pots for their moms. Memorial Weekend is the next big sale, this is a Kaylie weekend so it is a Play weekend for 'Namie'.

Oh the poor orchards have all the wind machines going and it is supposed to get a little cooler tonight. Let's pray their crops are all safe.<br /><br />I hope everyone has a great weekend, I know a group of my friends are doing their Retreat weekend and they will have fun for sure!<br /><br />We are going to Amber and Lance's house tonight to celebrate Lance's Big 30 birthday and to see their new wood floors. I have already taken a peek at them and they are BEAUTIFUL, they also got a new couch so their front room will look so different!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HNOMaRuBG68/SfHMaskx8BI/AAAAAAAABkQ/VewL5hIBJNs/s1600-h/Week+9+page+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328264593170100242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HNOMaRuBG68/SfHMaskx8BI/AAAAAAAABkQ/VewL5hIBJNs/s400/Week+9+page+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HNOMaRuBG68/SfHMaR2pmBI/AAAAAAAABkI/fqQjE0WBWTY/s1600-h/Week+9+page+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328264585997293586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HNOMaRuBG68/SfHMaR2pmBI/AAAAAAAABkI/fqQjE0WBWTY/s400/Week+9+page+2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Credits are:</div><br /><div>Crystal Wilkerson's P365 April Kit, she packs in so many fun details!!</div><div> </div><div>Everything except:</div><div>Kayla Lamoreaux - Date elements</div><div>KsharonK Designs - Journaling note book paper</div>Brooke - in Oregonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11733036124280081811noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341096332319461287.post-68721249187398125272009-04-20T20:15:00.000-07:002009-04-20T20:15:01.566-07:00Project 365 Week 8Today is my 'baby's' birthday, he turns 27 today.
