Greetings from Oakville, MO

By this time I hope that everyone has their power back on! I have been lucky, for some reason we did not lose power from either storm.
The store never lost power during business hours but we had some issues with our phone service. This is all fixed now so maybe we can begin to get back to normal!!
I have been busy at home creating classes for the fall quarter. I have lots of ideas and a couple of prototypes almost ready to share. Think Christmas gifts!!
Some of my plans are . . . Grandma's Treasure Box. . . Christmas planner project . . . desktop calendar project . . . altered desk set . . . Clipboard memo board . . . oh gosh I have a lot of ideas that I need to play with!
Do you have any requests for classes? Anything you've been dying to try? Let me know, I'll see what I can do!!
Gotta get busy! Hugs, Sue
