Moving finally, almost done! YAY!

After 7 days of torture, I am overjoyed to announce that we’re pretty much moved in to our new ‘digs. I cannot believe the amount of stuff that we moved… Steven alone basically filled the truck up and emptied it three times, and moved things that I thought would require two strong men, not just one! Little by little, it all happened (and sheesh, I bet you’re probably sick of hearing about it, I know that I sure am sick of hearing myself say “Oh Man…” over and over again…) Every muscle in my body aches, and I’ve got bruises all over my legs and cuts and scrapes on my arms and hands. My nails that just started to grow? Forget about those. I filed them right off… ha!

Anyway, here’s some 80% of the way there pictures that I snapped this morning… I’ve got a lot more organizing to do, but compared to the pictures that I posted earlier this week… the progress is huge!

Lovely racks of inventory. That rack on the end with the empty cubbies? That one is just waiting for some new eyeshadow colors as inspired by your suggestions!

Our workstations and office area… I had two of these desks and the shelf in storage, disassembled because I had no room for them in my last office. It was a joy to put them together without instructions. My husband joked about my need to have office furniture that was as complex as the Verranzano bridge. I think the Verranzano bridge is quite lovely, thank you. It is very nice to have more desk space. I feel much more official… but I do miss the fabulous desk I used to have in Rochester that was made out of old bowling alleys.

Smiling. I am very happy that moving is almost over! It was so hot today that we struggled to keep the office cool. We had the HVAC guy out to check our system just to make sure. He said that with the heat index over 100 degrees, he’s done nothing but fix broken systems. Hot hot hot.

This room is so not yet done and so unorganized. This is the room where we package all of the jars and samples, I have much work left to do here. Our flooring guy still has not yet completed the floor in this room, either- so I am a little panicked about this, as well. We had no choice but to move into the room and set up without him having the floor done. Guess he’s going to be working around us!

That’s all for tonight… I do think that we are ready to start accepting orders, as all work stations are a go, our computers are up and running and networked, and our internet connection is finally stable. I spent the last two days trying to get really organized and get every single box unpacked.

So, I did open the store for ordering. Right now, I am still honoring the sales that got cut off early last week.

International ordering will come soon, we’re working on all the write-ups and store programming necessary for that switch.

And we will have a grand re-opening sale, once I have a few days of processing orders normally and know that everything is running normally, then I will go ahead and announce a sale. But didn’t want to open up fresh with guns blazing and have things go awry…

Thanks so much ladies for your patience… it will be well-rewarded!!!
