THERE ARE HOW MANY SHOPPING DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS?






I did not get a chance to post photos for Make 'n Take last weekend, so to those of you who left me a note (Barbara Jean, Nandy, Margaret, Shirley, Pam, Denise, and Wanda), I apologize.  I have fallen down on the job.  

On a similar note, there was one change in the schedule for this month.  The two-page Scrapbook  Layout Class is tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11 at 2:00.

Thursday, December 12 is the Glitter Class, and we have a few pictures to share.  Below are the three cards we will be making in the Glitter Class.  The first two are "Flip Cards" using the Sizzix diamond flip card die, and all three use Elizabeth Craft peel-offs.  They are fun cards to make and quite striking.  We have just one or two openings at 10:30 and several openings in the 6:30 class.  Call now to sign up.



                          
   

                                                                   

Don't forget our "I Hate Inventory Sale" next week.  We'll have more details for you in a day or two.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped to make our Open House such a huge success. We really appreciate all of your support over the last number of years.  We wouldn't be here without you!  You are much more than customers to us. Your are our neighbors and our friends.

Once everyone left, we knew we were right to have our party this week.  There is a lot of Christmas merchandise left, so come right on over and get your card and scrapbook supplies before time runs out.  Right now, all that's left is to congratulate our big winner, Jodi Lippi, who left with a $100 gift certificate.  Of course, you're all winners in our book.  We will be right back after Thanksgiving with lots of great Black Friday bargains. So,if you've left your shopping until now, stop in early for the best selections. 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

Open House and Class Samples

Open House

On Sunday, November 24 we will be holding our Holiday Open House starting at 1:30.  We will be demonstrating some of our new merchandise and some of the old favorites which can be used in new ways.  This is your opportunity to make a Christmas list so all of your loved ones know what to buy for you.  We will have food, games and prizes, and there will be goodie bags for everyone who attends.  We hope to see you all here.

Pop-Up Cards

The Pop-Up Card class on Tuesday, December 3, will feature gingerbread cookies and a gingerbread house.  The designs are adorable and we'll be using the pop-up dies from Sizzix which have proved to be so popular.

     Just thought you'd like to see the girls in their Halloween costumes.    

                                                                                                           

We have a new photo of the November Christmas card, as it has gone through several transformations.  Every day when Susan gets her hands on it, she decides to do something else with it.  We think this is the final incarnation.  The card is an easel card and stands up for display.
