Update on a post

Well I found out the christmas card to a soldier is a no-go apparently they do not accept them. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I'm still stuffed! Taking a break today and then will be working on orders tomorrow. Also trying to decide what special I'm going to offer on Monday, any ideas would be appreciated! Also have to revamp the site with new graphics.
Ta ta for now!

Christmas

Is anyone else getting excited? I'm starting this week putting up items I have a ton to do. We usually have 7 trees and I'm thinking of adding a 9ft as my main showcase tree. I've been busy looking for handmade gifts to make and even addressing christmas cards.

ahh everything is caught up

Well the site is fixed(until we change it for christmas)the plugboard is running and our myspace is growing. What else could a gal ask for? Well since I'm caught up so I can start working on the new changes. We will be switching our wax soon to a soy-parrifan blend. This will give us the best of both worlds and we are quite excited about it!
