Happy New Year Y'all!

Wow!  What an exciting Christmas Season!  It sure was fun enjoying everyone's company as they shopped for that perfect gift for friends and loved ones.  Of course, the home baked Christmas cookies set out each day didn't hurt either ;^) 

I worked overtime greeting and helping customers, making sure they felt welcome and loved.  Best of all, everyone was smiling, humming Christmas songs, and wishing each other "Merry Christmas" all month long!  Christmas just seems to bring out the best of us.  I hope we carry this spirit with us throughout the New Year.  And, as you can see here in the photo below, I'm catching up on my rest after volunteering as one of Santa's helpers...

Oh yeah!  You should have heard the "I DID?" responses of the FIVE customers who found out they each won $100 Shopping Sprees!  They were SOOO... excited.  Two have already been in and redeemed theirs, and what fun they had! 

As for January, it's going to be a "Fun-To-Shop" month also!  Plus, don't forget about the many classes we host.  In addition to quilting, Crafters Circle, and Miss Kim's paper creations class, this month we have a new class, "Locker Hooking" by Becky!  I tell you, Miss Becky has the master's touch when it comes to crafting with fabric and thread!

Lastly, I had a boo-boo fixed on Monday.  Dad noticed I hadn't eaten well the night before and that I was also having trouble eating my breakfast that morning.  So he took a look in my mouth and found that I had a broken tooth, ouch!  He took me to Heritage Animal Hospital to see Dr. Ehrlund, who had to pull my tooth out!  Dr. E and her staff are the sweetest and most caring I've ever visited.  If you need a new pet doctor, please check her out at http://heritagevetsa.vetstreet.com/, you'll be glad you did!

Until next time, be richly blessed everyone.

Blessed Thanksgivings!

As you know, in three weeks we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving Day with feasts abounding our tables, shared with the ones we love.  It's good to celebrate such an occasion, it allows us the opportunity to count our blessings, create new and cherished memories, and pledge to offer our best in humble recognition of our Creator's generous blessings.  Have a blessed Thanksgiving Y'all.  ~Rosa  

Btw, don't eat too much turkey & tamales , save room for some of that pecan & pumpkin pie (and maybe a small bite for me ~ I LOVE roasted turkey)!

 Lastly, be sure keep your radar on for a VERY special event later this month!  I promise you're going to have a ball participating in this one!  If you've got a curiosity streak as bad as mine, you can find out more about it between now and then by asking mom & dad or, visit our website calender. ;^)  www.AlamoCraftCompany.com

 

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Mmmm... I love this time of year!  The cooler mornings, the recent rains, and all the wonderful items Vendors are bringing in to celebrate the arrival of Fall.  Add in the delightful scents of the candles burning and the delicious aromas of the Autumn potpourri, and I'm in kitty heaven!

Oh yeah, you should see all the amazing Halloween items in stock... Oh My... it's all too Spooky Cute!  Here's a little looksy into my Halloween wardrobe... I'll post the rest of it next time!

Until then, Happy Fall Ya'll!

September Is Tailgate Party Time!

I love Fall, and it's just around the corner in a couple of weeks!  And since the first day of Autumn "falls" on the 23rd of September each year, we'll be hosting our Annual Tailgate Party "Sale-ebration" that evening!

Grab a friend and join us from 6:30pm ~ 8:30pm, we'll be serving up your favorite "Fun-To-Eat" tailgate party foods and offering a STORE WIDE SALE on every purchase throughout the evening!

Plus... the "Vase" is back out this month!  Each time you check out, you get to pull a marble out of the vase.  A green marble wins you an Instant 10% Discount, and the blue marble wins you a $25 Gift Certificate!  Now that's "Fun-To-Shop"!  You should hear the "I WON!" shouts every time a customer pulls a winning marble out ~ it's too cute!

Lastly, here's a photo of my little brother at home... "Stinker".  He's not much of a "Cat In The Hat" guy, but he sure knows how to wear a bag!  Silly boy...

Until next time... have a "purrrrfect" day!
