A SPECIAL THANKSGIVING MESSAGE
There was an email from Susie that was to go out the day before Thanksgiving . . . and we all know what happened -- staff was unable to get to the store on Wednesday to send it out! Until that goes out, here's the wonderful message she put together on behalf of the staff at the store . . .
P.S. I would like to add that I feel especially blessed to have had the opportunity to become a real part of Art 'n Soul with Bella Carta's selections of paper and ribbon products. The blessings of encouragement to start Bella Carta from Susie, Catherine and the ANS staff, as well as the support from loyal friends and customers of the store, are second only to the blessings my husband, family (including "Hannah") and friends bestow upon me every day of the year without fail.As Thanksgiving Day is about to begin, we want to share with you our deep appreciation for the blessings each of you contribute to those of us at Art ‘n Soul. Your loyalty, your creativity, your friendship, your willingness to teach and to share, your ideas, your assistance, your enthusiasm, your laughter, your tears…..the list is endless.
We are grateful for the true joy you bring to each of our lives.
We hope that your friends and families are bringing YOU joy on this wonderful holiday, a day where we share the bounties of our tables and the love in our hearts. And we hope that your homes are warm and that candles are only necessary to flicker off your snowy window panes and not to see the instructions in your favorite cookbooks!
We are NOT having Black Friday specials! We WILL be placing some items on sale in the next week or two, so stay tuned, especially on our blog, www.bellacartaatartnsoul.blogspot.com. In the meantime, we do have some special classes still open before the end of the year, and we hope you’ll join us in one or two of those (see the list below). Please note that Deb’s and Sue’s class (holiday wall hanging) had to be rescheduled for this coming Monday (Nov. 29) due to the snowstorm and there is now room for additional students in the class.
Thank you again for being part of our artsy family.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Susie, Debbie, Sue, Deb, Alissa, Marj
