Please Shower a Friend with Cards and Love . . .
This is the post no parent ever wants to share. A lot of you know Connie Williams -- either from the Stampaway USA convention in Cincinnati, Verses Rubber Stamps, or when she had Stamp Your Art Out in Kenwood. Connie posted the following on her Facebook page Wednesday...
Product Testimonial of Sorts . . .
Thought you might get a kick out of this tidbit from the Allentown show three weeks ago – as I get ready for the Akron show this weekend . . . The batteries on one of our cash registers died between the shows in Indianapolis in March and Allentown in April, so I had...
Updates on Ellen from Tessler’s . . .
An e-mail I received today reminded me that while I have been posting updates on the progress Ellen from Tessler’s on our Facebook page, I haven’t said anything on the blog. And I should have done that – especially since the news gets better each time – my...
Three Day Extension — It Was Gary’s Idea . . .
When we set up the Sitewide Sale last week, the “end date” just seemed logical. It was a week – I didn’t pay a bit of attention to the date. And then Gary noticed that it was Tax Deadline Day – except Tax Deadline Day isn’t Tax Deadline Day this...
Arizona Dreaming, Part 2 . . .
Dad has taken us to so many breathtaking places in Arizona during our visits. I won’t kid you – the Grand Canyon is far and away the most spectacular. But this year, we went to Chiricahua National Monument (about two hours southeast of Tucson) – and it’s...
Arizona Dreaming . . .
I woke up to 2½” of snow on the ground Saturday morning – not quite what I was looking for on the second weekend of April. Except for remnants in shady areas, it was gone by evening, and it’s back in the 50s today. But days like that make me long for the...
Back from Hibernation – With a Bit of an Offer for You
March was so busy. I still owe you pictures from the most beautiful place I have seen in Arizona that isn’t the Grand Canyon – and Blake and I were there with Dad on February 29! But those will come another day, because . . . We’re having a sale! ...
Prayers for Another Friend of Ours . . . and Yours
Just found out this morning that Gary from DeNami Design had a major stroke on Saturday. I sent some notes back and forth with Nami today and learned that he stumbled and fell on Friday while trying to get out of the way of a car – bumped his head which led to a...
Yes, We Do Things with Mom in Arizona, Too . . .
Most of my Arizona posts have to do with our hiking exploits – or mishaps, as it was last weekend. But we do keep Mom occupied while we’re visiting. Friday evening, the four of us went to the Gaslight Theater (simply required on a visit to Tucson) – but...
Our Future Looks Brighter . . .
My brother and I are in Arizona for our annual visit with our parents, and I am looking forward to sharing our stories and hiking pictures and such. But far more important is our “thank you” to a group of Tucson teenagers who confirmed – perhaps even restored –...
