This one is really short and sweet. Later in the week I'll have more time to update you on the goings on around the shop and what wonderful and exciting things are being planned for in the near future. Right now we're trying to catch our breath. Eleven weeks on the road participating in all kinds of shows and retreats can really do a number on oneself. But you knew that right? Maybe next year we'll catch on - or not. There's always next year, right?!
Okay, getting to the good part. I just contacted the winner of the pillowcase drawing for October and - Margaret Hawkins - was so shocked that she won. The poor lady has had just a bad spell of luck these last couple of weeks and this really brightened her day. We're so happy for you Margaret and hope to see you in the shop soon!
You ladies really impressed us this month! I thought last month was great. I thought it was superb. I didn't believe it could be done. I know I've said before how gracious we as well as the foundation and the children receiving your donations are for the work and generosity you all have put forth, but honestly I didn't believe it could happen. This past month we received a grand total of 249 pillowcases!!!! Our office is overflowing with pillowcases right now. This Sunday we will be delivering them to our Chapter Coordinator and they will promptly be passed out to the local hospitals. Thank you again and I can't wait to see what happens this month.
As I said, I'll tell you more later in the week once we finish getting unpacked from our travels and regain our sanity and it couldn't be a moment too soon. This week we'll be working on a updated class schedule as well as many other odds and ends for the rest of '09 and the plan for 2010. Give us a call or stop in if you have any questions or just want to chat. Again, congrats to Margaret and thank you to all of our friends who are helping to support this amazing cause.
Back to work!
