Hope Ashley Fabrics

I am in the process of opening an online designer fabric store. I have fallen in love with some of the fabric designers that I have been using for my handbags. Most of the fabrics I use I have to order online because the closest store that sells the fabric around here is Bountiful and farther south. After opening my etsy store and making so many fun handbags, I thought it would be really fun to just open an online fabric store. My plans are to start the store on etsy, then I am going to start my own website and sell fabric from there also. Clinton city is building some strip mall type stores up the street from my house, so I was thinking that if I can make the online stores successful, I am going to try opening a real store that is close to my home. I want it to be full of fun designer fabric, but also have a lot of fun boutique crafts and hairbows, handbags, tutu's and everything like that. I have been able to get all my "numbers" from the city, state and IRS. I have my business account at AFCU and have been in contact with a lot of different fabric designers. I even have a meeting later this week with a fabric rep (like a drug rep). I have a friend that is a graphic designer and she helped me create my business logo, business cards and letterhead. They turned out so cute, I am so excited about them. I can't wait to get my business cards ordered! I am really excited but also nervous about starting something like this. But I think it would be really fun!

Finally Bowling

The boys have been asking Adam and I all summer long if we can all go bowling. We have been so busy and really haven't had much time to go, so we decided that since we did not go out of town for Labor Day weekend, we could at least go bowling. (Especially since we didn't have any soccer games.) We really had a good time. Breeley used a little track thing that we would put the ball on and she would give it a good push and we would all watch her ball roll down the lane at 4.1 mph. For most of the game she had the high score! It was fun to watch the boys try really hard to get a strike or at least a spare. I really enjoyed watching how they would freeze in the funniest positions as they would watch their ball go down the lane and hit some pins. It ended up that I won with Adam in second and Breeley in third. I took a picture of the scoreboard because I thought it was funny how many points Breeley had. It is probably the first and last time she will win all three of her brothers at something. The boys had a card from their school that gave them an additional free game so they got to bowl second game. Addison was winning Abell and Hagen the whole game until the 10th round and Abell scored a strike and passed his score. I really think they had a lot of fun. We decided that one of these first weeks we are going to hold FHE on a Tuesday night because they have the Galactic Golf buy one get one free. Addison is really excited to try it!
