GrinVilla's First Day!

01/14/2008 19:15:28 / excited

Hey everyone - it's been a long time since I wrote a blog but I thought today was the perfect day to try and get back into the groove of staying in touch with all of you.Christmas was so crazy - between all the family photos we had taken and the Southpoint Minor Hockey Photo Packages, we slept very little and worked really hard to get everything done; somewhere in there we had the brilliant idea to open up a studio and today we opened our doors for the first time!  (ok, not the first time; I have actually opened and closed several times in the last two weeks, trying to rid my basement of a pile of snowglobes, photo frames and ornaments!)We haven't advertised yet because we still have  a lot of stuff to get framed and hung up; I've ordered cool props for taking photos (which should be in soon) but all in all things are very good and I'm very excited about this next phase of journey!It's scary to take on an actual store front - we have already invested so much into GrinVilla before ever having this studio too, and now we've just added a HUGE financial committment to the mix.  I may not have any cash left but what I do have is FAITH, awesome customers, and a whole pile of great ideas just waiting to be put into motion.  Please be patient with the fact that my website is behind (my Open House ads are still up) and the memory books from the reunion haven't found their way to your hands yet!  I realize that our little GrinVilla network has been very quiet lately but I know it will get hopping again one day soon (lots of fun ideas for this site too)  If anyone figures out a safe and moral way to practice the art of cloning, let me know because I need 4 of me right now!If you live near Kingsville, or happen to visit here soon, please stop in to see me at 43 Main St W. I'll be there everyday until 5:00 and I would love to see you!I'll write more this week again to keep you posted on how we're doing.  Our real Grand Opening will be sometime in February when everything is 100% ready to go!Have a great night and keep us in your good thoughts!Karen
