back in black.

Blackfriday

I would love to open the newspaper tomorrow and read that holiday shopping broke records today. A great, big, kick the economy into high gear day is just what we may need. Maybe it is because I work in retail – but boy would GREAT SALES NUMBERS be good to see. Anyone brave the crowds today? I went to Target. (Twice.)

If you are looking for some good handmade shopping (and great deals) be sure to check out Marta's blog today. Such great finds for everyone on your list.

I have a few tricks planned for December starting with a shop update on Wednesday, December 3. There will be lots of new prints and possibly a popular reprint or two.

I am of course planning to highlight more handmade holiday ideas throughout the rest of the month. And am hoping to create a PDF pack of all the holiday posts so you can have them for next year as well.

But before ALL THAT, I have a five year high school reunion to attend. "How weird" is all I can say about that.

    Instead you get to read about how a 34-year old man was trampled to death and how two people died in a shooting at a Toy’s R Us.
    Black Friday indeed.

    I bought some labels from Paper Source this weekend, and I couldn’t help but think.. how great would it be if they made stamps of their label shapes!! Like the cloud and the bracket, etc. Maybe you can make this happen! 😉

    I, too, bought some labels from Paper Source and I am in love. Seriously that is the best store ever. And seriously, Gayle’s idea about the label shape stamp would be a dream come true!
