While I was doing “video practice” on Wednesday, Ginger Deaton told me about a Halloween card she had made.  Sounded interesting, so I told her to e-mail some pictures – even though it was going to be “after the fact” since Halloween had already passed.  And...

I spent the lunch hour today meeting with Pat Adams, Chris Mach and Lisa Nelson – all three teach classes at our store.  Gary had a idea recently and he wanted us to see if it is workable – when we have classes at the store, are you folks in the hinterlands...

It actually started with a phone call from Ryan on Wednesday evening.  I have received such calls before – he is a sucker for stray animals . . . “Dad?  What do you think about a new kitten?”  Apparently, a stray cat had made it’s way into Emily’s...

Have you gotten used to Spellbinders releasing new dies in January and July?  So have we -- but times have changed!  A Spellbinders Blog Post today introduced a whole new line of D-Lites dies -- D-Lites are mostly smaller, very stylish subjects, from flowers...
