UPCOMING THINGS TO BE WATCHING FOR!
TOMBOWS - I will be ordering Tombows again this year. I plan to turn an order in on September 20. I will be sending a reminder along with details to everyone earlier in September.
CLOSE TO MY HEART - Some of you know that I am a Close to My Heart Rep. I will be having my Open House on Saturday, Sept 11th from 1 - 4 at my house. This one will be a little different that my normal ones, but we will still have fun! Be watching for an email with details! More important to you than my Open House is my SPECIAL I offer to all retreat attendees. If you are officially registered, (at least a deposit paid), you will be entitled to a 10% discount off your entire order placed by September 20th. (An order will get you an EXTRA DRAWING TICKET!) New Fall/Winter Idea Books will be available on September 1st and you can get your very own copy... FREE... by attending my Open House OR by stopping by my house and picking one up. As you know, I'm not mobile yet, so you are going to HAVE to come to me! (pretty lame way to get attention, huh!) Call first, so I can leave the front door unlocked!
I hope you are getting as excited as I am! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Janis,
ReplyDeleteit all sounds so great! I cannot wait!!!!!!!
And mexican is my vote for the food...but I've never had any problems finding things I like and I'm sure any of it will be great.
Thanks
Amy
Janis,
ReplyDeleteFor dinner Friday night I think any of those would taste great, particularly since we aren't having to cook it!!
I have some weird dietary concerns and have two requests with regards to meals, 1) with sandwiches could we have those mayo/mustard packets on the side again? 2) I think there was ceasar dressing for salads in the fall, could I bring some additional bottles of dressings?
By the way, if I haven't said it yet, thanks for organizing such a wonderful retreat!
I am very excited and can't wait..
ReplyDeleteMy vote is Italian...

I was having some touble with accessing my blog, thanks to my husband, and just now got it back. I know it's too late to vote, but I do love Italian and I think it was a great choice and the rest of the menu looks fantastic. I'm also really sorry about your friend Barb, prayers and best wishes are with her. Thanks for continuing with e-mail postings for those of us who were having blog issues.

hey, it's only a few more weeks until the retreat. I'm getting really excited now that it's so close. Guess I'd better start gathering projects I'm going to work on.
ReplyDeleteJanis, have you managed to talk anyone else into washing those t-shirts for you?
