I hope every one had a nice Halloween. Except for being a little warm it was a perfect evening. We were privileged to have 145 kids come to our door. Ed was beyond excited. All the kids were fun and the costumes were varied and cute.
Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and the three day "Customer Appreciation Sale."
THIS WEEK Monday: Material Mart Musings Wednesday and Thursday: EQ8 class; this is a two-session class. If you can only come to one, come to the Wednesday session.
Details about the Customer Appreciation Sale. We will be having the sale again this year. It will be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. We have begun taking reservations. Time slots are filling up so call today...or at least soon. We will allow 10 people an hour into the store. Please do not wait to sign up and please pass the word to all you family and friends who may be interested.
Don't forget to make your Christmas list and be sure to "check it twice." Then discreetly distribute it to various places around the house. Bathroom mirrors, workshop tool boxes, refrigerators (both inside on the shelves and outside on the door.) Then subtly drop hints reminding family and friends of the list. Hints like: "Did you see the list?" or "Let me show you my list." You know...subtle. And remember, we can always help fabric challenged people pick out just the right gifts.
Have a Blessed Week and Take Time For Quilting Every Day,
Leslie and Staff
