1st Mommy & Me class

The mommies and the me's worked really hard to get their 2 page layouts done! I think BOTH of them had a fun time working together! We will be having more of them for sure!

1st Bead Class

It was a small class but big with fun and we all learned a lot! We ended up making two different pair of earrings...not bad for us beginners! If, you missed this class you need to come to the necklace class because you will be able to catch up with the rest of us due to Nikki's great instructions!

Please forgive me...

I am so sorry that it's been so long since I last posted. I have made a few things but it all leans towards scrapbooking and the pictures are at the shop and I am home today relaxing and playing catch up. I knew if I waited for those pictures it would be another month..LOL.. before I posted again so here I am! I do have a picture of some earrings that we are going to make in my first bead class. Everything will be in a kit of the color of your choice of the top bead! Later we will do a matching necklace then a bracelet. Nikki Maxwell a local editor here in Gonzales will be the instructor and she is one talented lady. All of her jewelry is handmade and designed by herself!.
The next couple of pictures is another masterpiece by my talented husband. I have already ran out of room for paper and I have ordered a lot paper from the CHA show so he built me this gondola for me. It's 6 foot long and it rolls so I can move it around real easy! I have already found that I am constantly moving product around as it sells and as it comes in! I am still on a natural high from just being around all this paper and supplies but also from meeting such incredible talented women that I didn't even know were here in my small town . The quilters still out number the scrappers and stampers here but the crop class was the largest class that I have has so far! Take care and thanks for not giving up on me and still dropping by! Pam

More Inside News!!

I know I am late as usual with blogging but here are pictures of the inside of the store. The beaded crosses and the windchimes are items I had made from a craft show I did a while back. The windchimes are made out of old bedsprings..."springs of the past."
Today I am closed and catching up on housework...My DH is being so patient with me about all of this. He has been so helpful. Without his support and the HELP and support of my family I would never have been able to open on time. One niece drove in from Louisiana to help set things up and ended up entering hundreds of items in the inventory list on the POS system. I would have never been able to enter it all in time.

My son not only helped with inventory himself earlier in the week , helped with marking and arranging. Then helped with customers all day on opening day. The city offices were closed and he used his day off to be there. My DH brought us all that was working on Saturday evening rib-eye steaks with salad and the works up to the shop for dinner that night. He was amazing!!!

They all were...I can not even begin to thank them enough. Two of my Best friends came the weekend before and worked too. They missed out on the steaks but ate all the customers Hershey's kisses that I already had on my counter..LOL This week Margie even brought me some to fill the bowl back up!!! Aren't friends super!! Thanks for dropping by and if your ever in the area please drop by and say hi! Pam

Storefront!!!

This is the store front...we still have to hang our sign in front and this picture was taken minutes before we hung letters on the glass front with the name. the next picture was my DH worker hanging the letters ( cricut) for the Moda Fabric. We teased him that he will have to join the classes... As you see alot of fabric is on back ordered.

I am fixing to send this picture to CDS so I can start ordering from them for the storefront!
