Good Evening Everyone!! Hints, hints, hints on my BIG announcement. No - not a baby (at least not one that I know of), no - not getting married (lucky thing I think!), by-pass surgery? - no, not at all (although this should be considered), no - not the lottery (bring it on however), and no - I'm not taking over Make An Impression (no money!). Keep the guesses coming - I'm having fun!
I forwarded this to my e-mail list just a bit ago and decided to include the information here also. It's best to keep the communication going in case someone is not on the e-mail list so here tis...
Greetings Everyone!! One last e-mail before we conduct our drawing on Sun, 11 Jan 2009, for a Cricut Expression Electronic Cutter as part of our passport program in 2008. We would first like to acknowledge Provo Craft for their very generous contribution of the Cricut and also thank Teri Bangart, their leading manufacturer's represenative, for her support, personal contribution, and general sense of just wanting to have some fun. Thank you both Provo Craft and Teri for being part of our great team. We love you!
If you traveled to all 12 countries in 2008 and have a stamp representing all 12 countries then you are eligible to be included in the fantastic drawing. Please be sure to look at the list of names that I compiled and if you are eligible and not included on this list, give the shop a call to get your name added ((206) 932-3891). Because it is not possible for us to be sure of everyone who may be eligible, it is important that you take some time and look at the list to be sure you are included if eligible.
Congratulations to Kits Morgan for her attendance at 52 classes in 2008. Way to go Kits!! We really appreciate your fabulous support and are very happy to know that your creative spirit soared all through 2008. Kits not only received 2 FREE classes in 2008 but has also won another FREE class in 2009 as the individual who attended the most classes in 2008. We hope that everyone will consider making their creative journey soar in 2009 by attending classes. Class attendance is not only great for personal growth but it also lets our terrific instructors know that they are valued and loved!
We are still looking for anyone who managed to receive more than 21 mini cupcakes from Coffee To A Tea. If you are that individual, let us hear from you. Coffee To A Tea has a special surprise for you!
Other "stuff":
1) Reminder of the napkin exchange on Sat, 10 Jan 2009, at 9:30 a.m. Bring a napkin, trade a napkin. Bring 100 napkins, trade up to 100 napkins.
2) Passports for 2009 are available and ready for purchase. $12.00 during the month of January and it means that you'll be eligible for the 2009 drawing with your first travel experience to India! Only 11 months to go. Passports beginning in February will increase to $15.00. Call the shop to reserve yours today.
3) Mark your calendar for Sunday, 25 January 2009, for our first (and maybe annual) "dead of winter BBQ". Should be loads of fun with lots of yummies, demos, and other goodies!
4) Check the blog www.friendsandcompanyblog.typepad.com for my BIG announcement sometime this month. It is expected sometime around CHA which is at the end of January. I'm excited and I hope you will be as well.
That's it for one evening. Hope everyone is well and having a GREAT start on the new year. Until the next time.... take care - Hugs to All - Doris
I'm still trying to guess
