road construction

A Funny Thing Happened.....

on the way to the shop the other day.....  As I approached 164th and pennsylvania I noticed a long line of traffic.  what the hey?  at 9:30 am?  this is not right!

guess what!  the road construction is beginning.  yes.... little things have been going on, but now it looks like we will really see some activity.

the street lights at 164th & penn have been removed in preparation for the intersection improvement.  it is now a 4 way stop sign intersection.

that means.....  yes, you guessed it..... looooong lines of cars approaching our shopping center.  

if you have an evening class, you might want to plan a few extra minutes of travel time.

it's not unbearable, just a bit inconvenient.  and the inconvenience will be long forgotten when the new intersection is finished.

i'll keep you posted as new bits of construction begin.  after all, we will all be happy when pennsylvania itself is 4 lanes and smooooooooth.  won't we?  i will. 

that's it for now..... until next post..... happy creatin'!

DECEMBER 2012
CLASS SCHEDULE
and a little bit of nonsense
 
Whoa!  Did I promise to get this schedule online by Wednesday?  What was I thinking?  The Thanksgiving Holiday got in the way, so I apologetically ask forgiveness.
I hope your Thanksgiving Day left you feeling thankful.  I know mine did.  My husband and I have only our moms with us now, so it was a blessing to be able to share this day with both of them together.

Now!  On to the business of the day.... the class schedule for December!  As this is a busy time for all, 2 of the classes will be offered only once.

What's happening

MHF House News
 
MHF House?  What's THAT?  Well, you may have noticed lately I've been calling My Heart's Fancy the House.  That's cuz I feel that you are a guest in my House when you come to visit.   Most days I think I make you feel at home.  When I don't I hope you will forgive me.  Anyway, there are things going on in the House so here's the news.....
 
 NEWS FROM RANGER & TIM HOLTZ

 
 The photo kinda says it all, but it's exciting and we have them coming.  All 12 seasonal distress inks now in Stains!  Should be here by demo day (oh yes..... this Saturday!).

DEMO DAY

That's right..... It's Saturday from 10am to 4pm.  Come and Go.... Always a FREE Make-it-Take-it.....  Class schedule for December will be ready.  Lisa has a bunch of great classes in mind and I think you will find them quite timely.

CLASSES

Speaking of classes, there are still a few openings in the two remaining November classes.....Winter Wonderland Box and Christmas Delight Cards. Remember to take a second look at them on Demo Day or look at the November Class Schedule for details! 

CHRISTMAS SWAP

Be sure you pick up the swap materials when you come to Demo Day.  I think you're gonna like this one.   Instead of 1 option, you'll have several.  Plan to have some extra fun with this one!

That's about it for now.  Hope you will join us Saturday for all the fun of Demo Day.....

Until next post..... Happy Creatin'!
