Blog Notes December 1, 2019

Well, Black Friday has passed and we are about to start the hunt during Cyber Monday!

I'm one of those who like to shop all of the time but quite often I am last minute for Christmas gifts. This year is no exception.

One of the things I like about Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the great deals on arts & crafts supplies you can find. So much to choose from and so many great deals!

It seems we are losing yet another arts & crafts store as I have heard that A.C. Moore is now closing its doors. Shopping is indeed changing, keeping up with the times I guess. It seems to me that eventually, things will shift and what comes around, goes around. Perhaps we will see a resurgence in those Mom & Pop craft stores we all loved so much. I can dream!

*Please note... If you have been receiving multiple notification emails when the blog becomes live each issue, here is the way to stop them, if they are bothering you.

This should only occur if you have signed up to reply or like a blog post on the blog post page. This is not where you signed up for the newsletter.

1. Click Profile.

2. Click Settings.

3. Click Subscribe / Unsubscribe to receive or to stop receiving emails about new posts and updates (available to blog members). You should still get the main newsletter notice that the blog is live.

In this issue, we offer yet another holiday recipe, yum! Pamela Cassidy has a great project that inspired the article about lighthouses. Check out the new advertiser in Promoting Painting and maybe put an ad in yourself. Reasonable rates for all. Teachers, designers, vendors...oh my!

As we get ready for the upcoming holiday I hope this finds your bellies full from a wonderful Thanksgiving and your minds ready for a very Merry Christmas!

Smiles!
