This is why I love what I do. . .

I rarely get to spend extended amounts of time in the store. I am most often in my office ordering, writing, researching, etc. However today was an exception! As I was in the store 2 regular customers who I had not seen for quite sometime came in - it was like old home week. We chatted got caught up with what the kids were doing, how new schools were working out, jobs, holidays, health issues... and it struck me - this is why I love what I do. I am in a retail environment where I actually connect with people - connections are made, friendships are built - I truly have a cool job. Scrapbooking (and co-owning a store) has led me to cross paths with some amazing people, people who other wise it would be unlikely that we would meet. How cool is that!
