Pic A Day 2/3/12 Helpmate

I just have to post another picture of my husband because today I woke up anxious and tired...not knowing how I was going to fit all my work in for the day. I was thinking there was no way I could do it all and I was going to have to work all weekend too.  Then without me having to say a word (or ask) my dear husband offered to help me...so we divided the jobs up and we both finished around 1:00! Thank you Jesus for my helpmate!

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. Ecclesiastes 4:9

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...Ephesians 5:25

Pic A Day 2/2/12 Cosmetics

I began my semi-annual job as a cosmetic merchandiser today.  During the Spring and Fall I reset the cosmetic sections in Publix, Winn Dixie, Kmart and sometimes help out in Walmart.  Today I worked in Publix doing the Maybelline section.  There are lots of merchandisers who won't touch cosmetics because it is very tedious work. I happen to enjoy it immensely! It satisfies my "organization" gene. :-)

Especially when I go from this....

to this (which only happens when I work in a new store/remodel)....

Pic A Day #29 Blessings come in many forms

My husband started working as a merchandiser back in July. This was a long-answered prayer. His last job was so stressful and demanding...it was taking a toll on him physically and on us as a family. As soon as he left that job, this next one fell in his lap.  He is a Wrigley's rep with a route of 200 - 250 stores.  We are so thankful for the easy transition from one job to the next. There are so many people unemployed out there and the fact that he didn't skip a beat between jobs is a God-send!

Not only did he get a job so quick but he got THIS job.  He is sent so much candy every month! This picture is our bedroom...this is just the deliveries for the last couple of weeks. We have to rent a storage shed because we have so much candy.  Greg has started swapping out candy for produce at a vegetable stand, deer meat with a local hunter and coffee at his favorite coffee shop.  Good old fashioned trading of products! 

Pic A Day #24 Hallmark greeting cards reset

I worked overnight from 9-5 last night in Walmart.  A team of us were putting up new fixtures/cards in the Hallmark section. I LOVE the new displays!  Today I am tired though! A good day to chill out at home.

When you are in Walmart next time, go check out the new displays and think of me! :-)

Pic A Day #21 MARS candy

This is what I have been doing all week...putting out MARS chocolates at Walmart. I can't get over the amount of chocolate Walmart sells in a day!

Pic-A-Day #6

Since Greg and I both work as merchandisers, we get deliveries every single day from UPS and FedEx.  Praise God our daily deliveries are not THIS big!  Yeah we got home from work to find this on our doorstep...nice huh?
