Where it all Started...I think

I am not really sure where it all started?  I do know this, there is only one person I can attribute my LOVE of all things flashy, and that would be my Grandmother Janice <3.  She has always been full of color and personality <3.  Her jewelry, her clothing, her overall presence is fun, vibrant, quirky (in a good way) and simply Fan-Tab-U-Lous <3.  Grandmother Janice (as she likes to be called) has always been a hard worker, does what needs to be done when it needs to be done, and doesn't mind rolling up her sleeves and getting dirty if she has too.  So I consider her to be a good role model =).

There is one thing that she does well that I do NOT, and that is numbers.  I dread them and hate them with a passion =).  Give me words, colors, textures, glitter, but please do not give me numbers.  And that is where my hubby, Joe, comes in, somebody has to keep this crazy mind of mine in check =).  Believe me it is a hard task to take on too.  But he does it with a smile, and a precious heart <3.  La Dee Da would not be La Dee Da without him.

It was through his prompting and number crunching that allowed us to open our doors on August 2, 2010 =).  Boy was that a nerve wrecking day, I called him up just a crying on the phone.  Him and Lauren (my sweet cousin and right hand glitter diva), just walked me through that day.  And at times, it has been a blur, and I would have it no other way.  I start each day with Jesus in my heart and Glitter in my veins <3.  So far, we are still here and creating <3.  And these girls of mine, would I ever be in trouble without them.  Rarera, Donna-Lou, Mo-Mo, Tay-Bug, Perk, Kate, Ashy-Poo and TJ are my sanity and they keep La Dee Da in working order <3.

 La Dee Da is truly a combination of all who pass through these doors, whether that is employees or customers.  Every person makes a difference, some of them may not even know it.  Our customers are not dollar signs, you are precious souls that make a choice to seek us out in a sea of many.  For that we are truly grateful.  Our hearts are joined in that we want to make a difference, not just creatively, but spiritually.  We care about what goes on in your day, and we want to do whatever we can to help you feel joy and happiness in your day <3.

I am not really sure if I answered the question as to where it all started =).  But then again, I did state I that I am not really sure =).  And please remember, my paper writing days are over, so I am positive there will be a typo or two =).  Have a Blessed Day

For the Love of All Things that GliTTer,

Hope
Glitter Queen of Crazy Town
