Almosst the end of the month

I know - I know. It's almost the end of the month and I haven't posted anything since I post the September Newsletter. I really do want to do better but just don't seem to have the time. I'm running between two places and I am happy to say that business has picked up at both places.
Rock the new puppy is doing well with training. We still have a couple of little mishaps in the house occasionally but they are getting fewer.
I do have some exciting news for the shop. I have lined up a special guest instructor, Kathi Anderson of Debbie Gunion and Associates. She will be teaching a Dreamweaver Stencil technique class on October 27th at 7 pm. I believe the price we set was $15. And the spots are very limited. So it will be first come, first to get a spot. The samples she showed me were really cool. I should have her samples to show you in a few days and a more detailed description of what she is going to do.
I have been melting the credit card again. I got the big plastic boxes reordered finally. There are orders pending from Hampton Arts, River City and Dreamweaver. I have ordered a new line of paper that is going to knock your socks off. I'll announce the name of the line in a week or so. And I am researching some new stamp lines. At least they will be new to the Artfull Hand. I am working on a beaded spider class for the month of October. And we have another stampscapes class scheduled. I have been working on a new-to-me technique using stampscapes.And will be offering it this month as Stampscapes 201, Dorothy's version. Dates and times and prices will be in the newsletter when I get it written.
So see, I have been busy, really!
Also want to remind you of the Halloween Card Contest that we will be hosting in October. And if you come into the shop on Halloween, Saturday Oct.31 in costume and agree to be photographed you will receive 20% off of your total purchase.!!!
I think that is all for now. Sorry for the infrequent posts but hopefully the new merchandise will make up for it....
