I know it's almost April Fool's Day but this is NO joke!

hello all! I hope that this beautiful weather has you all in great spirits and ready for spring! I know I am! I am ready to get outside and get in my yard so that everything I plant will die in a month because I have the biggest black thumb imaginable...I killed an IVY for crying out loud! BUT there is hope for me... I am hoping that with all this new time I will have to myself that I can learn a lot more about gardening and plants, and may actually remember to water occasionally. You are thinking what...what time off? Well, that brings me to this bit of VERY exciting news... I have SOLD my store! Yes, for real...no joke, as of April 1st ( how appropriate, seeing as I opened it on Friday, October 13th) the familiar face you have come to know and love...Kandice Wadsworth, my friend and employee who has stood by me through it all, will be the NEW owner of MORGANDAVIS Stationery! It really shouldn't come as a surprise that she would be the logical choice to take over. After all, she has been printing, buying, and basically running the store for the last year and has worked here for the last 4 years!We are both so excited for each other! I am so excited to get my "life" back, at the thought of a real lunch break, time with my friends ( if I still have any...I have been so disconnected for 5 years), a vacation with Chris, who might be the most excited about this idea, HEB at a reasonable hour, not having my cell phone attached to my hip, not having people call me at home to come open the store because they just HAD to have something, hahaha, you know who you are and I love you BUT.... I'm ready for a change! I hope that you will continue to support Kandice the way you have supported me and been loyal to this store. She truly LOVES our customers ( even more than I do) and I have no doubt you will all love the store even more! She is going to remain a paper store but does plan to add more gift and other great finds! I have always said I have THE best customers and I mean that. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, for sharing your lives with me, through the good times and the bad. Through the emotional roller coaster events like your child's high school graduation, Bridezilla moments, to pregnancy hormones, to lost loved ones, and everything in between! I have learned so much from all of you and I have learned so much about people and life and most of all about myself! Thanks again for letting me be a part of your lives, I have LOVED every minute! Stay tuned for updates...maybe in 6 more months we will post on here again...sorry about that, there just aren't enough hours in the day!
