This is it, Peeps-- Closing Day!

Yep, it's finally here, beleive it or not. I close up shop in 5 hours and counting. (That's midnight Pacific time, 2 am here in Chicago.) Hopefully everyone is able to snag whatever they want before I close the doors for good.

Erin is weeping with joy-- she hated being a Smidge House model, lol. 

Me, I'm happy and sad at the same time. :)

It's been sort of a weird day, some of which I can contribute to lack of sleep, lol. I'd been up for about 30 hours when I crashed hard around 10am, and slept like a freakin dead body for a few hours. So, I slept through some of closing day! I've gotten some absolutely beautiful emails from people, wishing me luck, and letting me know how much they've enjoyed the shop. I appreciate those more than I can say, and please know, I will email you all back, my inbox is just overflowing right now, so it will take a few days! Also, to all the people who posted on their blogs/flickr about the shop closing, I really, truly appreciate that. Sadly, I'm still getting people saying What? You're closing? to me, even today, but hey, we tried, right? You can't get to everyone!

So, I start my new gig on Monday, and while I can't tell you what it is right now, it's super exciting! :) But, it's going to be incredibly time consuming, so I probably won't be around much for the next few months. I promise to update when I can, and I certainly won't disappear into thin air, but don't expect too much for a while, lol!

To sort of celebrate/commemorate  to closing of the shop, I've created a Smidge House Decor flickr group. I hope you'll all join, and upload photos of any  Smidge House goodies you might have. I always wonder where and with whom my pieces end up-- which dolls are sitting on the sofas, and putting their feet up on the tables, and hanging the Christmas ornaments. I really would love to see pics!

Okay, well, my sweetie and I are going to have dinner, and toast to the end of an old era, and the beginning of a new one. I hope you have all enjoyed this one-- I know I have!

And for the next 5 hours, please shop till you drop, lol! And use the code CLOSINGSHOP15 for 15% off everything!


Love you all, and have a great night!!
