IT IS MONDAY!!

WOW! What a busy weekend! I took today OFF work, to re coop... plus driving kids to daycare I just did not want to deal with in the snow. ha ha ha
Friday evening, Jill & I did a newborn baby session of Emily Kate. I must say, she is ADORABLE! I will get some pics of her up soon. She was 3 weeks old, and eyes open most of the time. As in previous blogs I mentioned we are not... or I am not big into baby sessions... meaning I do not market & go after that business like I do weddings. We had the heater going, and what-not and baby Emily Kate still was not sleeping. OH well, she did perfectly fine with her eyes open. :) Her  Mom may even like those better!???
Then on to Saturday... I had the babysitter come over & watch kids as we went to set up for the Wedding showcase. UGH. Setting up Pipe & drape... so not fun! Thank goodness we had a vendor, Chris with Beauticontrol, and Aaron, my neighbor, plus some good friends there to help us set-up.
Sunday... bum-bum-bum... Jeremy had text me to see if I was going to be there by 7am... yeah right me? 7am? ok, so I got there at 7:20, and HE WAS there by 7... even though our first vendor arrived about 7:45. I had to go get the doughnuts & Coffee for the exhibitors ya know. LOL... But we got everything together. The gym looked AMAZING! The exhibitors came in & set up their stuff, and our "mini-meeting" went off well! So much so, some of the exhibitors said they LIKED introducing themselves & getting to KNOW one & other. We had the models show up & have hair & make-up done.. and the style shows were perfect! the first show we had close to a full house in the audience! We had so many compliments on the style shows, the decor, the added 'little' stuff that brought the whole show together. It is always nice to hear when you work so hard on something. The only flaw was the SNOW! Which in Wright County we hardly had much until we had to take-down. So the weather reporters scared people a bit early & we did not have the brides in as we thought we would... but we just cannot work against Mother Nature. So now we have to get the exhibitors the bride's list, and start planning for NEXT year LOL! Thanks to all those who participated & attended!
