Garage Sale!

Hey Gang!
I have a ton of fun pictures to upload but seemed to have misplaced my camera! Well, It's just in that very important place, I wouldn't forget where it was! Ha! Well, I just wanted to send out a fun reminder to let you know that the Garage Sale Starts Monday! Yes, already this coming monday! We have several sellers, and are looking forward to the sale being very busy, because of this thing called "season" we have here in southern Florida!

This next week we also have POTM on Wednesday night, and Thursday Morning! We are down to the wire, this month and next month are our last two months for this "year" We will be starting another POTM program by Basic Grey as soon as we get the low down from them on the next set of classes! Looking forward to that!

CHA is also quickly approaching! CHA is the Craft and Hobby Association! This is the big tradeshow that takes place twice a year, and this is when most companies release their new products! We have been keeping an eye out on those sneaks, and have meetings lined up with our most favorite reps so we will be able to see the product hands on! (It always looks better in person than on the computer) I would think you'd agree!

I have already placed a few orders, and am looking forward to them shipping the first week of February! Stay tuned for those fun product updates!

Also,Classes for our guest designer Jen Starr are filling quickly, but still have a little bit of room! If you are interested make sure to read the post below explaining the classes, and call to sign up before it's to late!

I hope you all have a great weekend, and stay dry! See you Monday for the start of the Garage Sale!
