December is almost here!

Here at my house...i have set an all time record!  My tree is up before December!  In the past, we are almost always traveling for Thanksgiving.  This means that it is usually December when we get back home, exhausted and too un-organized to immediately get into decorating.  BUT this year, which actually wasn't exactly "my first choice" scenario...we did not travel, had few plans, though we did entertain dear friends (2)...so it was nice, quiet and done in one day!  SO...by Friday night the tree was up...by Saturday night it was completely, almost decorated!  I have to paint a few aqua ornies to "tie in" with the rest of the aqua i have added to the mix in my living room.  I still have lots of "touches"...and OF COURSE...the main event...my Nativity....has to go up still...anyhoo, that's what's happenin' at the Hixson's!....in the middle of it all..is all my PAINT PUDDLES stuff!!!  help!!!....have to dig ,get  that outta there today and ready for tomorrow!  Here is a little collage of our December projects...Please read the post before this for all information!  You can email me at:  sandi.hixson@gmail.com
Enjoy the season...remember the REASON!
Blessings,

Christmas Crafts

For our Christmas crafting sessions I will be offering the following for you to choose from.  You can decide what and how many you want to do on the following dates:
November 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 12, Dec. 19...so it is imperative you email me, letting me know your intentions...aka...WHAT you are doing, HOW MANY, DATES, and which session you will be attending sandi.hixson@gmail.com 
As we did with the Thanksgiving Pilgrim set..if you do the entire Nativity set the price goes down a dollar for each piece...the platform is $3.00.  The total price is $22.50
I have listed under each picture what is in each "unit", OR for the cost of $7.50.
Remember, if you have several children, or have Grandma along...each craft accomplished within your family goes down a dollar...so if you have 3 people participating in a day...the cost would be $19.50, as opposed to 22.50.
The only thing this doesn't pertain to would be "sets" such as the Nativity...if you do the entire set, it is automatically discounted..the price will stay at $22.50/set.
I am adding an "extra" for Christmas!  If you would like any of these items for gifts, but do not have the time to participate in class to do them yourself, you may purchase them from me and I will do them for you.  (discounts not applicable)...so, the Nativity would be $22.50, finished for you, etc. 
If you are at all interested in this please let me know asap.  I will not take any orders past Dec. 17th.  If this is something you are interested in please email me:sandi.hixson@gmail.com
I hope you are already enjoying the "bustle" of the season, remember to SLOW down, do only the IMPORTANT things, and be grateful!
blessings,
Sandi

Monday November 21st class!

Please email me at the above adddress if you plan to attend our Nov. 21st class!  Let me know which session you will be attending and what you plan to do!
I will have all the Christmas samples on Monday to show you!  I think you will be excited!  You may even want to do several and give them as gifts!  Remember, the more you do, the cheaper they get!  For each craft you do in one day, a dollar comes off the price...so if you do 3...7.50, 6.50, 5.50!!!...and so forth...you could even get down to FREE! :)
As soon as it is possible, I will get pics up of the projects...that "may" or "may not" happen this weekend! ;-)  Why don't you come to do the pilgrims and see them in person?  :)
Blessings!

November 14th....resuming our schedule!

I am back from 10 days in Atlanta for a family emergency.  I am thankful to report our little Ava, my granddaughter, is recovering from two surgeries due to a horse kick.  She is seven years old and we are so thankful that she is home and on her way to wellness. 
We will be resuming our schedule on November 14th and 21st with our Pilgrim people.  I am also offering the Scarecrow Boy spoon at a reduced cost for those who would like to add him.  Some of you have requested to do the entire set in one day, and that will be fine.  I need you to reserve your spot (first or second session) and let me know how many and what you plan to do.   Please email me at:sandi.hixson@gmail.com
We will start our Christmas crafting on November 28th.  I am late on getting the samples done, due to my absence, but will have those done and pictured here soon!
