The Finishing Touch

I got my new sign yesterday! It's definitely the finishing touch to all the hard work done in the inside. I couldn't have done it without all my wonderful neighbors and friends who helped out.

Ron from Off the Beading Path for doing the interior work, Andy from Bambini's Boutique and Tom my previous next door neighbor for helping me move out all my stuff from upstairs, Lisa from Lisa Julia Photography for helping me paint...and so many more! THANK YOU!
