We're very pleased to tell you that Nancy Bishop is the winner of the 12 Days of Christmas basket. Her name was drawn by Deb Kuttel in the presence of Susie and Dianne. I arrived right after they had drawn Nancy's name. Deb called Nancy to let her know she was the lucky winner . . . Susie, Dianne and I proceeded to sing 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' to Nancy.

The name was drawn by Deb K., but the name
was not revealed yet.

This is a partial view of the 12 Days
of Christmas Basket.


We want to thank everyone who came into the store during
Art 'n Soul's 12 Days of Christmas celebration. Your business
and friendship are what makes Art 'n Soul the best
fine art rubber stamping store in the Northwest!

From Graphic 45, a very clever use of their ABC Primer papers.

"Next up is another clever creation by Tara Orr. It's a fun School Square Game made from our ABC Primer collection. How perfect! This adorable game is fun to make and fun to play! Tara has even included some instructions so you can create one of your very own! Thanks, Tara!"

The presents are wrapped for the family festivities on Christmas Eve beginning around 3:30 this afternoon. Elf work is challenging, isn't it? It's time for me to wrap myself up for a quick shut-eye.

 

 

Susie, Deb K., Dianne and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and good times with your family, loved ones and friends. I'm a firm believer that on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the door is always open. And I'm a firm believer that we should, first and foremost, remember 'the why' of celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa this holiday season.

 

. . . and to all a good night!

 

 

 

Art 'n Soul is closed on December 24 and December 25 so that Deb and Dianne may celebrate Christmas with their families. Dianne will open the store on Monday, December 26, at 10:00 in the morning -- it may be a holiday for most of you. We hope that you might stop by the store since this is the last week of the year.
