I've been neglectful of my journaling all summer. Now the kids are starting school tomorrow. I've been summer busy. You know, the lake, the pool, the beach, the amusement parks... all of it. Repeatedly. I also started a new business which has taken all mental effort available. I have had a spot (which really consisted of one wall in a room) at an antiques/gift shop in town for just over two years now. I had the opportunity to move into my own room but had two weeks to put it together. It was crazy, but I did it. I now have a beach cottage themed room. It's doing really well. I am going to try to convince the store owners to let me build them a blog for the shop, so I started my own so they could see how it would help them.
Here's a link to my new beach cottage blog:
