At the beach... A woman went to the beach with her children. Her 4 year old son ran up to her, grabbed her hand, and led her to the shore where a dead seagull lay in the sand.
"Mommy, what happened to him?" the little boy asked.
"He died and went to heaven," she replied.
The child thought for a moment and said, "And God threw him back down? |

Greetings!
Is it just me, or is summer just flying by this year? Creations has not exactly "taken the summer off", if you follow my drift... As I told you last month, I am now the proud owner of two booths at Trendz** (see note below!) which I am still really excited about! Summer is also a busy time for Creations with weddings, so my website/on-line business has been keeping me quite busy, as well. But there's more... I have also joined a dear friend of mine, Jane Hosey-Stern, on a new adventure... She, along with business partner, Amy Hopper, opened a brand new store on June 15th called "amaze"... and I now have a booth there as well!! To get a feel for what "amaze" is all about, take a peek at this cute video that Jane put together...
I'm still "fine tuning" my booth there @ amaze... so please bear with me. Come to think of it, I'm really still working on "fine tuning" myself in general... so bear with me there, as well. (I'm a "work in progress"... Ha!) Anyway - that's my story, and I'm stickin' with it. More updates to come...
Cheers!
Cathy
As for clarification on my Trendz booths... My first booth is still in it's original location and is home to hand-painted glassware and accessories as well as home decor/kitchen/entertaining giftware and goodies. My second booth is just inside the front door on the left hand side!! There you will find lots of my best selling items... cocktail napkins, flour sack towels, as well as all of my edibles... Stonewall Kitchen products (lots of new stuff!!), cheeseball and dip mixes, and all of the Wine-A-Rita drink mixes!! Delish!!! |
 Breaking news..
Because of the fact that the "first Thursday" of the month falls on the eve of a holiday weekend, we will be celebrating our Trendz "First Thursday" July Event the following Thursday, July 8...!!! We did NOT want any of you to miss out on our monthly "get-together" - so mark your calendars and tell your friends!!!!
We look forward to seeing you there!!
