Help Those In Need Promo
Designers Desk has decided to help those who have been hit by hard times with a good old fashioned food drive. We have come up with a great way to help those who need a little help while rewarding our customers who help. For October to November 15 2011 ,we will be having a food drive at the shoppe.

During our drive, bring in a can of food (8oz or greater) or a package of non-perishable food and take 5% off any regular-priced item in the shop for each food item brought in. There is a maximum of a discount of 25% on any one regular priced item (5 can or packages). Can not be combined with any other discount.

All items will be donated to local groups and distributed here in the local area to help our needy. We think this is a great way to just help support those hardest hit right here in our own backyard.

Some of you may have heard of this wonderful project. A kissing pillow is a very simple cross stitch project. They are made for each soldier. The soldier about to be deployed kisses a pillow and leaves it with his family, or one for each child. The family then kisses the other pillow and sends it with the soldier.EVERYTHING IS PROVIDED!! If you are interested please stop in the store for your kit anytime.For more info feel free to call us at (630) 262 - 1234.
