{list for my grand re-opening, Fall 2010}I am a list maker. I love a good list. A legal pad is my weapon of choice. I have a library of used legal pads....and lists! More than loving to make a list, I love looking back on my lists for I never throw a used legal pad away nor do I ever tear the pages out! They've become my journals of sorts for my retail milestones. From when I first opened to present day how my lists have changed and progressed!
My legal pads are not for the day to day {read as ordinary, routine-y} stuff, they are the big guns I pull out for PLANNING. Events, seasonal buying trips, ideas and inspiration are all legal pad worthy! I get excited when the need arises for a legal pad!
As I look at the list pictured above, I can't help but wonder what my list making skills say about me. I don't always use the lines, preferring to go diagonally. I don't put one line through my accomplished task, I black it out with several lines. My lists are also categorized {can't you tell?}, never all lumped together in one continuous list. {I do my grocery list this way also, keeping each aisle in it's own column, which are never in rows horizontally or vertically, just in a diff. spot of the sheet.} Some categories are circled, some are boxed and every now and then you'll see a star or check mark. Are you still there? I guess I was thinking that you would need all those details so that one of you would analyze this for me! Sorry if I bored you!
At any rate, all this to say, I got out my legal pad today to start my scribbles for Fall and Holiday 2011! I think I have my theme already, and some of the buying has been started. I also am sitting on a secret about an event in late September! I need to gather my thoughts, re-read my notes and get crackin' on this. I do my best thinking with my trusty legal pad in my hands...after I spend some time down going memory lane with it!
