December Doings

What's Happening

in the House

This Week

Wow!  This is the last weekend before Christmas!  Kinda gives ya pause, doesn't it?  As I wrote that I almost went down the rabbit trail of "where does that phrase come from?", but we don't have time for that - HaHa!  So here's what's going on this week.....

Demo Day

Saturday - 10 am to 4pm

Yep, we are going to have it Saturday.  You know we have fun.  We have a wonderful Make-It-Take-It from Impression Obsession.  It's really sweet.  Lisa is hard at work on her class schedule for January.  Since Valentine goodies are just now coming out, it'll be a partial schedule.  She'll have more for you right after the 1st (I think).  Select Christmas items will be 50% OFF beginning Saturday.  AND there will be a small gift with every purchase.   Oh, I see that I have forgotten to tell you that I will have my Kuerig here so you can have hot chocolate, cappuccino, coffee and hot apple cider.  Now you know!  Grab a friend and let's have one last fling for 2014.  We think you'll enjoy it.

CHARACTER CONSTRUCTION

NEW COLLECTION

No, it's not in yet, but Catherine is just about ready to reveal all.....  Hoping to have a flyer so you can special order Saturday, but it's not here yet.  We have, however, given her our initial order so we can have it here as soon as it is available to ship.

One of Catherine's good friends is sponsoring a "Tea for 2" Character Construction swap.  I'll have details for you to pick up on Saturday if you want to participate (you do need to register to participate).  In the mean time you can check out the Pinterest Page for past submissions.  Exciting, I tell ya!

Let It Snow-Man Canvas Class - $35

Phone Photo, sorry..... sometimes you just don't have time to get out the good stuff!  Anyhoo, we had a request to put this on between Christmas and New Years for some out of town guests.   Lisa and I thought you might want to join them.  It's a go (already have 8 willing souls) so if you want to join us email Lisa at lbruno7754@aol.com.

We had such a good time this past Saturday during Demo Day.  It's a monthly event for us and it's always fun to spend time with friends both old and new.  This Demo Day was no exception!  We had a houseful and everyone was treated to a lovely collage demonstration by Beverly Seamour of B Line Designs.  We just love Beverly.  She is kind, helpful, and generous with her talent.  It comes directly from the heart.  Beverly brought along her darling grandaughter Shelbie.  Take a look at the tags they created during the demonstration.....

Such amazing techniques ....  but oh so easy once Beverly shows you how.....

Lisa created a fabulous Make-It-Take-It card using a lovely grouping of Beverly's stamps.  Check it out.....
