Happy Halloween everyone! Interestingly, Halloween isn't a big holiday here. It's gaining popularity due to American media influence, but it's nothing like what tends to happen back home. We did have a handful of trick or treaters come round, which really thrilled Zephyr who has never gotten to experience Halloween before. :)
The frameshop opening went very well today- my photos were looked at by a lot of people, and I hope some will sell soon. I have a deal with a printer who will give me 50% off printing on large format, so that makes it more feasible for me to print things to be mounted and framed than it would have been. It was exciting to see people coming in and it made me think back to my parents opening their store years ago- I don't think I realised how much valuable business knowledge I gained simply from working in their store. But now that I'm running my own business I'm getting a lot of comments from people about my having good business sense- basically I'm just doing what seems to make sense to me and learning from my mistakes as I go along, but active learning is no small task I suppose, and I'm blessed with business genes from both my parents. :) And I know that Gd has put me in this situation for a reason, hopefully so that the business will do well and we'll be able to start other businesses in the future.
Any of you who are astute might notice that I'm posting this at 12:26am our time- it's been a catch up day for me today, getting lots of photo processing done, some even from back in the summer on our last trip home! I am very nearly caught up, which is great since we are off to China in 2 weeks now! It's been quiet as far as StAG work goes since it's half term, but I for one needed the time to get random things sorted out. Our bble studies start back up this week.
Ok it's high time I went to bed- I hope you are all well there and enjoying the beautiful trees! I hear the weather has been up and down, and it has been here too. We miss you all and are looking forward to seeing you around Christmas time!
