Here's this year's tree: first place in the ornament contest went to Gayle Jacobson's beautiful church (a Dimensions Gold kit); second place to Mary Crichton's adorable Santa Kitty; third place to Marie Huntington's intricate (one over one) Joy (Just Nan); People's Choice went to Gayle Jacobson also. Thanks so much to all our entrants - they make our tree so beautiful, and give us all new ideas for future Christmases.Sandy's off to Minnesota for a big family Christmas and her parent's 60th anniversary. (Flying through Denver!, say a prayer and wish them luck!) The shop will be OPEN Dec. 26, 27 and 28 from 11 AM to 3 PM, but then closed until Jan. 2 (landlord's decision). On those three days, take advantage of the post Christmas sale - 40% off all Christmas items and 25% off EVERYTHING (except of course pre-orders) ELSE ! Keep the shop "elves" busy, please! :-)
