Sticker Stops

I posted on my Facebook page this week that Lynne and I worked a Sticker Stop in the Hobby Lobby parking lot, and I think I thoroughly confused some people! The event and the location have nothing to do with one another. Sticker stops are fun events the station does throughout the summer, where we travel to various locations in our listening area and meet listeners while we put window stickers on their cars. They're so much fun!

This was the first time I got to work one of these with Lynne, and it became like a little Mid-Morning palooza! We had SO MUCH FUN meeting people. I thought you might like to peek into our afternoon!

Here we are...the sun-hat sporting duo, ready to head out to our afternoon of fun! Really, one's job SHOULD NOT be this much fun, but I am thankful to the Lord DAILY that He's given me such a great co-worker/friend/supervisor/counselor/you-name-it with whom to spend my work days.

We were sent to the parking lot of the Hobby Lobby on the north side of Fort Wayne. Oh the level of trust they place in us! Y'all, your Bits Girl was sitting in a parking lot with a Hobby Lobby on one side, a Cato on another side, and a DeBrand Chocolate store on a third side - and I was a good girl and did not spend one single dime. Miracles abound.

We took with us our intern, the lovely Annie, and the three of us set up camp in that Hobby Lobby parking lot and set out meeting all sorts of new friends, and come to find out, so many of them are YOU!!! I cannot tell you how many of you paused to take a minute to thank me for the blog - and it was a joy to put faces with the sea of mystery readers I have. THANK YOU for taking time to encourage me!

The very first visitor we had was Shari. She was there right when we opened up shop and she hopped out of her car and asked for me and said she's my biggest fan!! I didn't even know I had fans, so that was pretty cool. :) Shari, you are a JOY. You just are. Thank you for finding life in Shafferland riveting enough that it merits a visit before coffee every morning. Wowsa. That's about the biggest honor I can think of. Not much trumps coffee. I get that. Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving Ryan and me and considering us friends - family, even? - and blessing us the way you did. And thanks for letting me share our pic on the old blogaroo here. You're so fun!

This is our intern, Annie, dutifully applying a window sticker. It was her first sticker stop ever and she rocked it. I really, really enjoy having her at the station.

Lynne chatting it up with a friend who came to see us. In the background - the mother ship. Ahhh sweet Hobby Lobby. How I love you.

Lynne and Annie during the one break they had to sit. Seriously - we were so busy the whole afternoon. It was so great!

Lynne - back to work, chatting with another friend. I said it's a wonder she and I successfully convey ANYTHING over radio waves, the way we have to use our hands to talk. Good grief.

Sunscreen on my feet. The rest of me earned a complete farmer's burn, and I am NOT HAPPY about that detail.

WINDEX FIGHT!!!

This is our new friend, Denise. She has a southern accent TO DIE FOR. {Secret wish of mine has always been to have a cool southern accent.}

I also had a visit from my friend Nikki - who is my rival for David Phelps'  #1 fan. Turns out she just went to a concert of his in Kentucky {and we will NOT discuss the points this earned her in moving up a slot in the #1 fan contest} and while in a meet n greet line, she recorded him giving Ryan and me a happy wedding greeting. SHUT UP!!! Are you serious?? Thank you, Nikki! YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Our friend Daniel, who is a good friend to Mid-Morning came to visit - and picked up a bottle of Windex and even helped us out! Thanks, Daniel!

And I cannot close out this post without giving a big shout out to my new friend Polly, who always leaves such fun, encouraging comments to me and drove out just to meet Lynne n me. Polly, you are a gem, and such an encourager to me. I appreciate you and am excited to have met you in person!

And that was our fun afternoon! I came home pretty sweaty, awfully red, and quite full of joy for our listeners, our friends, and a great, great day!
