So here's what I designed using Windows Paint and submitted to the City of Goose Creek. They approved it last Monday, and my permit was delivered Friday.
Here's the real live thing that I painted during Friday Night Crop. A big THANK YOU to my hubby for installing it. Oh - and by the way Mom, you now need a new Cricut blade. Love you!
Come see it in person and tell me what you think. Now I gotta go finish the other side! :)
Our first Ladies' Night BUNCO at the new place was a blast - as expected. :)
Having all the action in one big room was fun. The food & drinks were readily available and it was easier to see who was winning/losing. We only lost a couple of the dice, but they were quickly found. Our big winners of the night were:
Most Wins - Terrie
Most Losses - Lee
Most BUNCO's - Esther
Lots more prizes were handed out, but our winning team of the night was Lee & Melody
Thanks to Amber for the "Hugs & Kisses" :)
See you next month - March 19th 7pm!
That's the color that the Goose Creek ARB approved. And that's only after denying all 3 shades that I submitted as well as any of the lighter shades on those paintchip cards. My landlord (Mr. Bulwinkle) went by Lowe's before he showed up to the meeting just in case. He was able to convince them to approve a color that's so light it barely qualifies as pink - but that's with the stipulation that the trim has to be white. So, I'm standing here trying to be thankful for PLASTER PINK:
Here's to hoping we look good in Plaster Pink!
:)
We're finally OPEN again!!
All of our inside permits have been approved. The electrical box was replaced, flashing lights/fire extinguisher/exit signs all installed. Our power is finally back on (and so is the heat - holy cow it got cold in here!)
Now wish us luck on the outside permits. They vote tonight on our shade of pink and to issue my sign permit. I've decided not to attend (my landlord is going for me) just in case it really was all a feud against little ol' me.
The last couple weeks have been very trying. Moving is a stressful time in itself, but let's throw on some major permit problems and we've got a Pink House ON HOLD! I'm still really in shock...
Long story short, the city of Goose Creek requires an "upfit" permit in order to PAINT on the inside of our building. On the INSIDE!!! I can't freakin' believe it! Now we have to wait an additional week before opening or be fined $1085/day. Can you imagine how p-o'd I am?
So my week has been pretty awful, but among all this chaos I am surrounded by so many wonderful people. For example, look at the beautiful tulips that one of our Pink House friends brought to welcome us to Goose Creek.
BEAUTIFUL - Thank You!
Some of you may have met my handsome husband, Michael. He has been such a huge supporter of our store since the idea first came up. He has been extremely helpful lately as we have been relocating The Pink House. (Is it just me, or aren't men so much more sexy when they're lifting something heavy?)
