Hi Everyone,

Well, as I had said....I was closing my eBay store. I took your advice and have ended all of my listings but will keep my store subscription for another week or two so that buyers will know that I've not flown the coop!

I had over 4000 listings at the beginning of this year and when I ended my listings this morning I only had 436!

From time to time I will list auctions of one kind or another and hopefully will sell off the remaining stock that I have. It's actually not much, but to much for my girls and I to scrap with!

My husband, Morley, and our three youngest daughters are thrilled that when they wake up today...that I will no longer be *technically* working!

Have a good one! I'm not going anywhere until I'm booted out!

Congratulations!

With skating season coming up, I don't think you will be any less busy.

Woohoo! Congrats Susan.
I don't know about you, but for me, it seems like you just announced that you were closing your store. I can't believe that the time has come already.

*S* Skating season starts for our three daughters the first week of August until school starts! They are at the rink for 4 - 5 hours per day/5 days a week.

Once school started our youngest has been at the rink 4 days a week for 2-1/2 hours a day and our twins are there 3 days a week for 1-1/2 hours a day!

And, not always do they skate at the same time...most times it's Emi on the ice first and then our twins! Emi is in a higher level of skating than our twins, but they are working hard to catch up with her!

I love the fact that our twins view Emi as an inspiration and Emi feels the same way about her sisters!

Emi skates with the seniors at the club...13- 17 year olds. She's 1/2 their age and 1/2 their height! It truly is comical out there! She's 44 pounds at 8 years old....and is working on two of her double jumps....almost has them mastered.

That's what keeps our twins going......they want to do as well!

So you are right! I will be no less busy...but in some respects I will be since I won't have to be concerned with my eBay store, customers, packaging, etc!

It will be a FUN busy!

I just couldn't hold as long of a *Going Out of Business Sale* as Pierre!

It really was odd ending my listings and closing the door to my store. Well...almost!
