~GRAND OPENING~ WOW WEE!!!!~

WOW WEE!!!! Beyond My Wildest Dreams!!!!
My Grand Opening was a HUGE SUCCESS and I am so thrilled!!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE MY DAY SO SPECIAL!!!






A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY HUBBY BOB, KAREN, MOM & AUNT GERTRUDE FOR HELPING MAKE THE DAY WORK LIKE A WELL OILED WHEEL!!!!





I made the sacks myself and my dear sweet friend "colored" them in for me!!!! I made Chocolate Pudding Bundt Cake, Buttercream and Chocolate Cupcakes and Pink Roses Cream Cheese Mints. I had a blast and both Tuesday and Thursday were AWESOME!!!

I am in a bit of a daze and it still seems so surreal. THANK YOU EVERYONE for making my DREAM COME TRUE!!!
I will be busy this weekend re-doing the entire shop for fall and getting ready for Kristi's Goodbye Open House on Sunday. I am also working on the website and will let all of you know when that is ready.

WOW WEE!!! I AM STILL SO EXCITED and in HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY LAND.
(on a footnote, the pain in my back, legs and feet are so bad they had to prescribe a "controlled substance" and I go in on Monday for another epidural spine shot of 2 kinds of steroids. Please pray that this one works, and works for a LONG LONG TIME!!!
Love and Hugs, Amy

YAY Amy....
I am so happy for you!
It will only get better from here!
Once the word gets out you will be a huge success!

I am so sorry to hear about your back pains!
Hubby gets an epidural rhizotomy every 6 months! {sp?}
It helps ease the pain a little bit!

Your shop looks wonderful...and the bags are too sweet!

OMG Amy, what a fun time and I'm so glad you did well. I'm so sorry about your back. Mine has been killing me to and I'm so sick of the pain all the time. I haven't resorted to shots yet though. Good luck and I hope it helps.

Congrats on a successful open house. Any cupcakes left? yeh, like I need one! haha. You have such cute things to sell and I am not surprised that you had plenty of friends flocking to your home. How fun!!

Hey, you get some REST! You know I so know what you are going through. Have the doc get you a TENS unit. I use mine everyday and it works wonders!

Amy, what a beautiful inviting shop. Oh how I would love to come and I'm so happy it was a super success---how could it not be with your positive energy. I finally gave into the shots and epedurams and I don't regret it---keeping me off schedule 3 drugs so far and surgery. Hope you feel better soon. Rest that back---it could be just over worked. Love and Hugs, Pat
