Planning Ahead

Hi everyone,

What a year this has been. I have been excited, thrilled, sad, miserable, amazed, and mostly importantly exhausted. Opening the store in just a short few weeks was the easy part, now the work has really begun. I have so many ideas, thoughts, plans but executing them has been a struggle. So as everyone thinks about their new years resolutions I plan. I plan some awesome classes, some incredible crops, some hysterical theme crops, and most importantly getting the best products at the best prices as soon as possible.
I am posting my plans in hopes that you will all help me to stick to them. Making plans is a lot like maing resolutions, you want to reach all your goals but things just happen. So, I am asking you all, begging really, that you guys help me get my goals met. I am going to post my plans in hopes that everyone will help me reach them. So, when you see me ask me if I have stuck to my plans, ask me how my planning is going, ask me what's next...push me, interrogate me, force me to be a better, more organized me.
