Sunday Drive in the Country

Sunday Austin and I took a little Sunday drive in the country. I'm probably showing my age but growing up I can remember doing this with my parents on Sunday afternoons. My sister and I hated it but it was better than the alternative- an afternoon nap. What I wouldn't give for that now; we weren't  very smart kiddos- or just needed a different perspective.

Actually we took Hutton down to her camp in the TX hill country and decided to take a little country side trip on the way home.



These are passion flowers. It was my mom's favorite and grew like crazy on the farm where she grew up.

 

 

It was a perfect afternoon for a little peace and quiet- and some dreaming. Only down side, Lexie came home with a coat of stickers which I picked out on that long ride to the city.

 

Enjoy this beautiful day and our lovely weather. What a summer treat!

Dress Canvas Class to be Rescheduled

 

As most of you know, Jackie has been having some back and leg pains lately. I spoke to her yesterday and she was actually feeling better- first time in three weeks. As much as we can't wait to have Jackie back in the classroom, it is best we give her time to completely heal. Therefore we will be rescheduling Jackie's dress canvas class that was scheduled for tomorrow, Thurs. June 27th. We will have it sometime this summer and let you know as soon as we have scheduled a date. We will post the new date on the blog and maybe some of you who wanted to take but had conflicts with the original date, will be able to attend the rescheduled date.  Thank you in advance.

 

We will be calling those who signed up for the Lil Firecracker class also.  

 

 

 

Coffee Filter Class

rescheduled to July 30th

 

Linda was offered the opportunity to go to NYC so we said GO!

 

Linda's  coffee filter class originally scheduled for July 18th has been rescheduled for Tuesday, July 30th. If you had previously signed up to attend Linda's class, please let us know if this new date fits with your schedule. We still have a few openings left in this class.

 

 

The backroom is full of new items and more are scheduled to arrive this week. We have everything you need for your 4th of July and summer projects. reviews coming soon...

 

Have a great day

 

 



Budding Young Artists

 

Yesterday concluded our session of Kid's Camp for June. It was a small but talented group and we have lots of fun getting to take it easy, create more projects and eat better snacks- first things first ; )

Here is a sampling of what these creative girls came up with this week.

 

 

If you missed out on Kid's Camp this month we will be offering a session in July and August. The cost for 4 days of Kid's Camp is $200 and includes all supplies- and apparently so tasty snacks. As you can see, the artwork is quality pieces. I try to come up with projects that I would want to hang in my home. I'm a firm believer that displaying kiddos art work is such a confidence booster.

I have been holding Ki's Camp for about 5 summers and can honestly say I am amazed each time at what the kid's create. I just provide the supplies and space- they are the artists.

Space is limited so to sign up, simply call the store at 405 848-2389.

 

GREAT JOB GIRLS!
