Happy Halloween!

Here's hoping all your tricks are treats this year!

Wood Connection now in Las Vegas

That's right!  The Wood Connection is now in the Las Vegas Valley!  I know you love the creations that come from the Wood Connection stores in Midvale and American Fork, UT...and now you don't have to trek some 900-1000 miles round trip to get your stuff.   Just jump in the car and head to the corner of Eastern and Richmarn(Henderson) in the Sansone Shopping Center to the new Wood Connection of Las Vegas to get your creative juices flowing!  It's owner, Dory is waiting for you to come by and visit.  There is lots of items coming in every week.  She hosts workshops/classes as well with everything you need to leave with a completed project.  Here is a link to her site http://www.thewoodcolv.blogspot.com/ .  Stop in soon, and tell her Crystal sent you.

Craft Festival Coming Soon

It will be here next week...along with the first week of November...YIKES! 

This year has flown by for sure. 

Plan to come on down to Cashman Field Center and shop with lots of great vendors including us for home decor, holiday, and gift giving.  We'll be featuring Christmas along with everyday and some Harvest.

We look forward to seeing you!

Almost Art in the Park

Fall really seems like it's here when Art in the Park rolls around. It's starting to cool down...finally.  Eveyone is excited and happy to be there.  It's my biggest show of the year.  Thankfully, I have my same location as in years past.  It's a great space for us since we are asked to hold larger items until our customers have finished their rounds.  Having no one behind us (and extra space) is a real blessing.  We set up tomorrow, it's a long day for me.  I'm planning on taking photos of the booth at mulitple stages so you can see the progress.

Look for us in spaces 393-394 near the playground in Bicentennial Park.  Stop in, shop and say 'Hello'.  We look forward to seeing all of you.

 

Our 30th

Time flies when you're having fun is what they say.  I don't know how 30 years went so fast, that's for sure.  It's been quite a journey with lots of adventures, fun, struggles and joy along the way. 
We've been blessed with two wonderful boys that we've put our heart and soul into.  So much of our lives have been about them.  I stayed home to raise them and am proud to say they have never spent a day in daycare.  I know that is not possible for many parents, and I need to say we sacrificed a lot to make that happen.  It's not something easy to do that's for sure, and I had the good fortune to have my parents and Timm's parents there to lend a helping hand (and advise) when needed.  Scott married a wonderful gal, Christy 4 1/2 years ago.  Chris has been dating Bri for a year now.  They both have great gals.

We've been through lots of activities and hobbies.  Timm was one ranked 3rd in the state in archery and traveled for several tournaments.  I tried it, I wasn't good at it.  He gave that up when our boys hit Cub Scout age and we gave 17 years, time, money, vacations and vehicles to the Scouting program.   I wouldn't change a bit of it though...good program, good values, good people.  I know we touched countless lives through packs, troops, crews and training. For me, crafting and painting has been a constant through out the years and continues to be a source of income and pleasure for me. 

We've always been outdoor people.  We love camping, hiking, exploring, and more.  We got our first ATVs 10 years ago.  In fact, Timm surprised me with mine for our 20th anniversary.  We've had a great time with them and have met some great people there too.   It looks like we'll be heading to the Moab area in December for our anniversary trip. 
Our immediate plans are tied up in BBQ competitons and will be traveling to Bentonville Arkansas this month for the Sam's Club National Finals. 
Happy anniversary Timm, I love you more than life itself and look forward to growing old with you in a life full of love, family and adventure.
