Happy Fall!
We are officially in fall now and personally I am happy to see the arrival of sweater weather. I love fall. The leaves changing, apple picking and Halloween make me extremely happy. I get some of my best photos this time of the year and find once it starts to get cooler I want to be inside crafting even more.
We have a big event coming up, the Holiday Hoopla!
On October 11th, we will be celebrating all the holidays with a giant sale, product demonstrations and a free make and take project. See all the details below.
You won't want to miss this once a year event.
If you are looking for a great way to get your holiday projects and cards completed, come to a Crop Night at the store. I find it virtually impossible to hear dirty laundry or dishes calling from inside the store. Plus, if you are trying to complete a project, you can always grab a last minute item right here and let's not forget about the awesome crafters you can meet. That is a huge plus in my book.
We have some great classes on the schedule for the rest of the year. There are just a couple listed below and we will have more photos posted to the Gallery and Blog as well. See our Calendar for a complete list of classes we offer.
Don't miss your chance to win a $25 gift certificate! For the month of October, submit your best holiday card. See all the details below.
We hope to see you soon!
