Tomorrow (Monday) is the last day that Art 'n Soul will be open until January 3. Pam will be there all day to welcome you and extend our Christmas wishes to you. Please stay tuned here, though, as the blog will continue to share wonderful ideas and share any new developments about deliveries. I know there will be a few between now and the New Year and when they arrive, I'll let you know what to look forward to.


In the last couple of days before Christmas, here's a quick way to make an ornament or set of ornaments for the coffee lover you know . . . using 2 PoppyStamps' dies.

By the way, we were given a sneak peek of the new launch of dies and stencils that Memory Box has been working on. OMG! This release has so many dimensions to it, and you can certainly tell that David has put an extreme amount of thought and creativity into it. We cannot wait to show you . . . on January 5!
