SO......

I'm sick and in the hospital....

and guess what Cat and Valerie do.....

They rearrange the store!

Yes, I will be looking all over the

store for things.  LOL!!!

When the store is rearranged,

that is when you discover all of these

things that you didn't know we had.

Yes,

there is a method to the madness.

There will be all kinds of

things that you may think are new.

But, you just haven't discovered them yet.

So, come to the store and

see what new things you will discover.

There are all kinds of treasures there,

just waiting for you to find them!

IT'S A GREEN THING

 Did you get one of these bags when 

we opened the new store?

If not.....

Meet the second generation of 

GREEN BAGS!

So, come by the store and shop 

to receive your Green Bag plus double punches.

Just like before, you will also receive double punches if

bring your green bag back each time you shop.

The only exception is when you are

receiving a discount, either from a sale

or from attending a retreat.

 

 

 

 

ARE YOU READY TO RETREAT?

Getting packed for the retreat this weekend?

Be sure to pack

WARM clothes!

It's going to be cold outside,

But you will be all cozy inside

just a cropping away!

Lots of yummy food to eat.

 

Lining up for some Mesquite Pit yumminess!

Once the giggles get started....

It's a race to restrooms!

You'll be making a trip to the new store

for its inaugural pajama raids.

Lots of beautiful new product for you to pick from too!

So get everything loaded into that vehicle

and head to Mitchell's Resort in Perrin

for a CROPPING GOOD TIME!

 

WHERE'S YOUR BAG?

Do you know where your bag is?

Remember:

Bring it when you shop...

and....

you receive

DOUBLE PUNCHES

on your Cat's loyalty card.

Lots of customers are putting their

bags in their cars. That way, if they

make an impromptu stop at the store,

they will have their bag...

and get

DOUBLE PUNCHES.

So...

go to that craft room/closet

and 

FIND

YOUR

BAG!

ANOTHER BAG SALE IS "IN THE BAG"

It was the first bag sale at the new store, 

and the customers were just as excited as ever.

Bags in hand, 

rifling through the boxes and stacks of goodies.

Patiently looking through all of the product

to make sure they don't miss anything.

Yep....stuffing the bag full of product is 

FUN!!!

Check out that huge smile!

Big smiles and

bags stuffed with product!

All for $50!

These girls made up the second wave

of the bag sale ladies.

Three hours later....

they had stuffed bags and 

big smiles!

Yes, bag sale day is a lot of fun.

As the ladies added up the regular price

of the items in their bags,

they averaged $1200.

Not bad for a $50 investment!

Stay tuned for the next bag sale in a 

few months.
