I just returned from Sanibel Island, in fact it was the dreaded snowstorm day that I was in 80 degreee weather and thinking of you poor Wisconsin people. Of course, my kids had to call and say the night before to say they were going to get a snowday, I said yeah right! It was very relaxing and it was wonderful to be able to sit on the patio and listen to the ocean and walk on the beach. The warm sunshine was also very nice, but coming back to frigid weather was an adjustment.
Spring is coming......


JANUARY
Greetings to all of my friends,

Can you believe January is coming to a close and soon we will know if the groundhog is going to grant us an early spring. It would be nice to see more sun!
I was off this past Sunday and thanks to Nicole for working! My kids wanted to go shopping, so off to Madison we went.
Inventory is done at the store, always a nice job completed!
New arrivals at the store will be starting, most of them will be arriving in mid-February after the CHA show in Las Vegas. I am not attending, but my reps will be bringing back what is new to order. So if there is anything that I don't have right now but you need, please let us know at the store and we will write you name down and the item needed.
Nicole taught her "Heat it up" class this weekend, it was a great class and all attendees seem to enjoy it. There were some beautiful cards and techniques done!
The attendees also helped brainstorm on an upcoming crop weekend in March! Nicole is checking on a place to have it and Janell gave some great suggestions on past crop weekends she has attended.
We've got some great classes coming in January and February, as I get samples I will post pictures of them on the blog. The pictures don't show up the best, but it will give you an idea of the class.
I'm hoping to get away for a few days in February to some nice warm weather, so we'll see if the plans come together.
I will be planning another contest in March for cards and layouts. I hope to do these quarterly, we had some fantastic entries and I believe people enjoyed doing it.

That's all for now, thanks for all your business!
