Here I/we are just thinking and realizing where has all the time gone. Insert here go give Eddie Dalton The years between (somewhere in between )a listen.
That is where I am. These last 32.5 years have been self confidence raising as I have a ged education.
Done it with a dream, hard work, honesty and the most and do mean most amazing crew that a boss/family could ask for! The years of dedication leave me spoiled and speechless, and always tried to tell them thank you at the end of the day!
Mom almost 20 years
Vickie moved here three months after I opened friends since school and she was welder by day and yet showered and came into hang or do what ever she could to help.
Then Debbie 25 years my best friend since 2nd grade who gets to work with your best friend everyday? I did and sometimes on Sunday lol!
Jeff 19 years he comes in after working overnights for Horizons Unlimited Group Home.
Teniel was 4 years
And then we have the Mother Dauther team that was taught by non other than my mom.Carla who works full time at our Farway and Niyah a full time RN and new mom are the hanger queens for the last 12ish years.
Kristen Schentzel was our night time elf that came in for around 4 years an evening or two a week and put all misc and shoes away after hours and after full time job at Blossoming Creations!
Then came my present Karissa Matheason at my most tired and neediest time. She has been with us now 4 years!
Again consignors you are what have made this a store can never say it enough! You all have been amazing and I am just so grateful for each and every one of you.
