Of course the best part I think is reading everyone’s blogs (Margot Potter STILL gets the most gold stars in my book!).<BR/><BR/> In the beginning I felt like nobody was reading my blog so I questioned it’s importance, then recently I got the sweetest comment which makes all this craziness sooooooooooooo worth it! So hang in and blog-away!<BR/><BR/>Bummer about the stealing. When I had my bead shop I found the shoplifting increased as the economy decreased. I even had signs around with humorous statements about karma and stealing. Still didn't work...<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Very happy to have you a part of the blogster community! <BR/><BR/>Creatively KristalKristalWickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737136502092194725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682283448540581112.post-45299077501825411832008-03-24T08:09:00.000-07:002008-03-24T08:09:00.000-07:00Good luck with your new blog!

Anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to call. <BR/><BR/>Regarding your store, I'll never forget a very well to do woman, professional position, was caught shoplifting. She was banned from the store. I later saw her at the local bead store and privately warned the owner...it's a shame, but it happens!<BR/><BR/>Inkingly, <BR/>RobinRobin Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047703832179249112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682283448540581112.post-54201873560668125942008-03-23T16:32:00.000-07:002008-03-23T16:32:00.000-07:00KimWelcome to the Blogosphere! Firstly, you are ...Kim<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the Blogosphere! <BR/><BR/>Firstly, you are a Rennaissance Woman. This is what I call myself when I'm not feeling like a Jill of All Trades. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, it is sad. I had a bead shop with my husband. We also sold Fair Trade Handicrafts. I could not hire one person who didn't steal from me. So I had to stop hiring people. It sucks that people steal from you. For me, my store was an extension of my home. I was held at gunpoint and Drew's store in Pittsburgh when I was pregnant. It was terrifying. So yes, you need to be aware even though it stinks.<BR/><BR/>YAY FOR KIM! I will add your link to my blog and tell everyone to stop on by and see you!<BR/><BR/>GOOD WORK!<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>MargotMargot Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328794490189942896noreply@blogger.com
