Happy Holidays! The season is upon us and
goodwill and good cheer are the order of the
day. I love this time of year and rejoice in
the spirit of giving. Don't you just wish
that everyone could keep this attitude the other
11 months of the year? We are doing things a
little differently at our house this year and I
must tell you, there is no stress, no hassle and
there are no deadlines to worry about. It is
truly wonderful! I hope the celebration of the
season will be the same for each of you.
Our Annual Open House was a great success
and a lot of fun. Music filled the air, the Make
& Takes were awesome, and Santa had his fill of
Cookies! It also provided the perfect
opportunity for a "Family" photo! Even the
family pets were included. Check this out,
doesn't my Mom look great for 88 years young?
We're also thrilled to welcome Jenny's fiancé'
Tim to the family! Isn't he a cutie?

Our 12 Days of Christmas Promotion has
also been a lot of fun. Everyone has loved the
Make & Takes each day. Some of you have even
come in, every single day just to do them. The
different promotional items have proven to be
great incentives as well! I'm so glad, everyone
is enjoying our little holiday twist.
Workshops: Yes, it's true... we only scheduled
one workshop for the month of December. It's
just been too busy to try and work in classes as
well as taking care of all the Holiday shoppers.
I know many of you have commented and are
disappointed, but sometimes we just have to
realize we can't do it all!! It's been so busy
in the store and I thought with all the other
holiday activities, no one would have the time
for a class, anyway. I promise you,
January
is full of great classes and fun ideas and you
won't be disappointed. Both Jenny and Jeannie
have some neat surprises up their sleeves and of
course, we always start the New Year off with a
fabulous
Organizational Class.
Soooooooooo... stay tuned. The
January Calendar
will be out soon!
