Well the Artfull Hand has one year in being in business. It's been an exciting year with new beginnings, new techniques, new materials, new and old friends.
I want to publically thank all my friends for making this a reality. To those who lent me money, who helped me find bargins, who helped move stuff, who painted, stacked, unpacked, stocked and all the other stuff that goes into running a retail business including buying my wares. And those who helped through out the year covering shifts, teaching classes and leading make and takes. I could not have done any of it with out the help of my friends.
It's been very interesting for me to actually run a retail business not to mention a real educational experience. However there is a down side to this one year success. That is my DH. He is not as supportive as I would like. HE is the one friend that should really be there for me. Now I must say he puts up with a lot of stuff because of this business. He hasn't stop me from doing this venture. But he hasn't actively helped either. He will come and do something if I ask him. Volunteering doesn't seem to be in his vocabulary. This hurts some. Today there was a blow up from him for something that was beyond my control. I think later he realized he was being childish but didn't apologize for his outburst.
So this anniversary is bittersweet. Sweet are my friends. Thank you so much.

My word I can't believe a whole year has gone by, does this mean we are all another year older to??

Congratulations on your success. Isn't that first year in business a tough (and exhilarating) year? So much learning to be done along the way. Sorry DH isn't supportive. He may be having some ego issues watching his chief pooper scooper becoming independently successful. Hope your back's better. Good wishes for success and prosperity for the coming year.
