Shorttakes

The holidays are now behind us...did you get all the goodies you wished for?

I know many of you got gift cards, but IF YOU DIDN'T, we are doing another fun gift card offering!  We've done it in the past, usually BEFORE Christmas, but this time around we thought we'd offer it AFTER the holidays so you can get yourself something happy for the dreary winter months ahead of us....

 

So, here's how it works ~

 

NOTE: This offer is good on Saturday January 4th thru Monday January 6th!

 

Buy a gift card ~ for a stitching friend (maybe for Valentines Day, or just because) OR for yourself, and we will give you ANOTHER gift card worth 20% of your purchase.  Confused yet?  I'll break it down for ya.

 

If you get a $100 gift card for yourself, you'll actually get a gift card worth $100 + $20 (our gift to you) = $120.00.  You will only pay the $100.00.

If you get a $50 gift card, your gift card will actually be worth $60.00.

 

If you would like to get a gift card for someone else, let's say for $50, you can choose to give them the entire $60.00 card (but only pay $50.00), OR you can get a $50.00 card to give & then you can KEEP

the $10.00 gift from us FOR YOURSELF! 

 

You can stop in the shop & pick one (or more!) up on Saturday, or you can order them online here:

 

If you order online, we will email the gift card TO YOU.  If it's for a friend, please let us know in the comments section of the order form & we will record it on their customer card.  Also if it's for a friend, let us know if you would like to KEEP the bonus amount for yourself or if you would like to give it to your friend as well!

 

Well, I hesitate to say it out loud, but....I am getting caught up!  I cannot thank EVERYONE enough for your patience with us this whole last year (or at least since springtime).  Your kindness & compassion (& commiseration!) has meant the world to me as I have navigated all the challenges with my mom.  She was discharged from rehab on the Saturday before Christmas & we are slowly finding a rhythm to our "re-entry".  I have never been the person who looks back over the year to evaluate (re-evaluate), or determine what went awry (or went well), but I know for a fact that my personal life severely impacted my work here at the shop, which in turn impacted many of you stitchers.  Again, you have been nothing but kind & I am much more frustrated with myself & my inability to "do everything" than anyone else has been.  As I look forward to tomorrow (that's the furthest I plan in any concrete manner), I am determined to get back to the good stuff ~ the stitching goodies, the yipyap, classes (I'm thinking of "Teaching Tuesdays"....), so many things I want to do with y'all!  So thank you again for your gift of grace with me.  The girls here at the shop ~ Therese, Tracy, Connie, Cindy & a few others I've managed to conscript from time to time ~ have been absolutely wonderful at being here for y'all & for digging me out of my hole from time to time!  So be sure to keep an eye out for more yipyap from me!! 

Also, coming SOON (don't have specific dates yet...) our annual January framing sale is almost here!  So get busy finishing up & gathering up your treasures!

 

Hugs & stitches ~
