Lest We Not Forget...

Have a blessed and safe Memorial Day as you celebrate and honor those who've sacrificed their all to secure our precious Liberty.

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank God for mothers!  Without them, we would not only NOT be here, we wouldn't be who we are!  Mothers are the most important persons on earth ~ they gave us life, cared for us, fed us, protected us, played with us, taught us, and shaped us in to confident, happy, and productive people!  Thank you mother, I love you!

If I could give my mom a big hug and a kiss this Sunday, I would.  I'd also take her out to lunch after church to the finest Kitty Kafe in town, and ask the matradi to serve her a purrfectly grilled fillet of fresh Atlantic King Salmon, topped with a creamy shrimp sauce!  Mmm....

Then afterwards, we'd relax and spend the afternoon in the cool shade of the garden and revisit times past.  She'd love that.

I hope you'll do the same. 

Well, until next time, be richly blessed!

Now THAT was a Fun-To-Shop Fiesta Sale-ebration!

Wow, did we have a load of fun on Saturday!  Our Fiesta Sale-abration was a huge success, and everybody had a great time shopping & saving on all the new selections for Fiesta, Spring, and Easter.  We had customers come from throughout the city, the far corners of our great state, and even from other countries while they were in town visiting family!  Our customers are simply the best there is, and we love you dearly, "Thank you"!

You should have seen Mom, she looked too cute strutting around in her Fiesta head band with the Minnie Pearl price tag hanging down off of it.  I didn't quite know what to think when I first laid eyes on it Saturday morning ~ what in the world is THAT!  It was so cute and fun to wear that Oliver (Flores) just had to buy it off her head!

Oliver giggling at Mom's Fiesta hair "do"...

And... there were 4 lucky winners of the $25 Gift Certificates too!  Dad had fun calling them this morning to let them know they each had won... 

1. J.D. Davenport
2. Beatrice Gonzalez
3. Jesse Rios Jr.
4. Yilsa de los Santos

Congratulations y'all, enjoy your "Fun-To-Shop" shopping sprees!

Lastly, looked who dropped by to see me Saturday afternoon.  I'm never too busy (napping) to be loved on by Christa, she's sooooo sweet to me!

Well, until next time ~ be richly blessed!

Viva La Fiesta ~ It's Time To Celebrate "Fun-To-shop" Style!

I love April!  It's a special month this year filled with celebration.... beginning with two fun filled and colorful weeks of Fiesta, and ending with the worshipful observance of the greatest event of God's expression of Love for mankind ~ Easter!  We hope you get out and enjoy Fiesta this year, and are richly blessed with Easter.

The latest news here at Alamo Craft Company includes our first annual Midnight Madness Crafts & Crops Night event tomorrow night, April 1st.  From 6pm ~ Midnight a whole gang of ladies will be dinning, crafting and cropping the night away in a half dozen + classes!  I hope you are able to join them, they're going to have a blast! 

Also, dad put the Spring garden in last week.  It looks beautiful with all the colors and new flowers.  While I was having my morning go around yesterday a pretty Ruby-Throated hummingbird dropped in next to me and filled up on nectar.  I was so well hidden, it didn't see me!  It was so cute, and so small.  I don't pick on anyone smaller than me, so it was safe. ;^)

Well, until next time, I hope to see you in the store checking out all the wonderful new items and seasonal merchandise that's coming in.  Don't be surprised to find me snoozing after lunch, I love my naps!

 

I'm looking over... a four leaf clover!

My goodness, is the year flying by or what!  It's March already, and there's so much going on this month!  Daylight Savings Time, St. Patrick's Day, and the official start of SPRING!  I love spring... the refreshing rains it brings and greens up the garden, the birdies (that dad feeds for me) begin to get all flirty, and all the ladies get to wear their new clothes they bought on sale!  Speaking of which, be sure to drop by and check out all the new accessories and jewelry that's coming in for Spring, Easter, and Fiesta ~ it's beautiful!

If you haven't participated in one of our classes yet, please give mom a call and see if she can place you in one that'll make your heart smile.  Shouldn't be a challenge, given there's six classes this month, each with their own venue and teacher.

BTW, we're having our first annual Midnight Madness Crafts & Crops Night on April 1st, from 6PM ~ Midnight.  And that's no joke!  Here's your chance to craft the night away, with over 6 classes & teachers offering... card making, paper crafts, brag books, tote bags, painting on wood, cookie decorating, decorative canvas wall hangings, and more!  Jane will also be offering a Crop & "Make & Takes" in her Scrapbooking Factory as well!  $10 gets you dinner plus the first class of your choice.  Multiple classes of each venue will be offered throughout the evening, and you're welcome to take as many as you like ~ each at their own individual low cost.  Bring your basic supplies, but most classes will come with a kit.  There will also be several Cricut, die-cut, and sewing machines available, plus irons and ironing boards, etc.  * Seats are limited, and reservations are required.  Drop by the front desk or call mom for details.  509-6007

Lastly, I have one request... When ever you come in to shop and visit with the gang, please deodorize your purses.  There's nothing more frustrating than digging around in one looking for that snack and it's not in there!

XXX's & OOO's
