Happy New Year's Eve!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!
Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the turn of the century and here we are entering the last year of the first decade - how did that happen? It seems the older I get the faster time passes - maybe I am just having more fun! I keep adding to my "bucket list" more things I want to be sure to try out in life! Owning a shop was one of those things and now I am about to enter my third year in that endeavor - so far we are managing to weather the storm (i.e. the economic one!) and I want to thank all of our faithful customers that have helped to support us in many ways throughout. We had a busy holiday season and great response to our new local arts and gift shop - thanks!

The bead shop continues to survive and I am getting quite a few requests for a class or two in the new year. I am working on an idea for a seed bead class. I just got a cool new book on 3-D shapes using the Peyote Stitch - lots of inspiration! I will be letting you know soon about a class. Keep checking the blog or come by the shop for more info in the new year.

As most know, the shop is closed until next Tuesday, December 5th. We have enjoyed the holiday hoopla, spending time with family and visiting out-of-town folks. I plan to spend these next few days crafting, reading, practicing guitar, exercising (my New Year's resolution!), and just relaxing at home - but I look forward to coming back to the shop next week refreshed and ready for a NEW YEAR!

Cheers, Susan
