I am back again...and with other pictures.  Unfortunately it seems the pictures are not loading as I expected them to.  If your PC has the ability to scroll sideways you can see th entire picture or like I have been doing for other people is saving the picture an opening it as a word document to see it completely.  I hope these have loaded better.  I am very proud of the lettering and logos.  I believe they came out terriffic.  I am very grateful and recommend Strickler Graphics to anyone needing sign work done.  I am in a hurry and have to go but please stop back often or stop in the store for weekly specials.  We offer all kinds of specials targeted at serving our community to its fullest.  Thanks and stop back soon.     

It has been a bit since my last entry and we have made a lot  progress.  Check out the pictures...I got two workstations built and painted.  The counter area is coming together.  Almost looks like a real flower shop.  Getting the walls filled up.  Meeting lots of new people.  We have had a tremendous response to opening the store.  The neighborhood is so happy we are there.  Did have a couple of uninvited friends...a 3 year old German Shepherd galloped into the back room trampling mums.  Unfortunately we had to have him taken away no one in the area knew who he belonged to.  A couple of other dogs from the neighbors.  Plans have changed for our walk in cooler.  Our landlord has offered to give us more room in the warehouse so we can have a more convenient location and placement.  Thank you Jeff.  While I am thanking people the list of supporters is growing...I would like to thank everyone for their support...Rose, Tracie, JR, Mom(s), Joan Ann, Jerry, John, Sara, Judy, Josh, Steve (Strickler Graphics), Rick (Davis Design), Chad (Extreme Technologies), Deborah and the crew at M&T Bank...and so many more I cannot thank you enough.  Please stop in or back often for continued specials...the holidays are coming have you reserved your holiday centerpiece?  Order by November 1st and receive a discoount!  Give us call we're waiting to seerve you!          

It has been several days again since I made an entry andlots has happened.  On September 28 we signed our lease agreement and officially started moving in.  I should say finished cleaning as it was still a mess inside and out.  Construction is actually not completed.  Inside yes outisde still has some finish work to be done. As you can see by the most recent pictures a lot has changed and I must say for the better.  This Friday I rented a small truck with a liftgate to move the heavy items like our cooler and cabinets.  Michele and I really worked hard to get them moved.  Really could've used some help but as usual I was in too much of a hurry.  To add a little stress we helped decorate and attended our niece, Emilee's, first birthday on Saturday.  I shouldn't say we since it was Michele who helped.  The party was very nice and Emilee was a joy.  Sunday we all started out early at the shop cleaning and moving everything into place.  Help came quickly today as Michele's sister Tracie, our friend and helper Rose and her husband Mike, my in-laws and my mother all showed up.  I have to give the most thanks to Mike as he helped move the floral cooler into place and boy was I happy to have the help.  Anything that big and cumbersome is not meant to be moved by one person.  It took a concerted effort of almost all of us to get it into the shop.   Flawlessly executed if I must say so.  Everyone helped so much and I am so thankful to each and everyone of them.  On a similar note we had two guests visit as well.  I am very glad to have made two new friends, Pat and Jean, today and hope they come back to visit again soon.  I think I babbled on enough for now.  Thanks for listening and check out the puictures.
