Stacey and Allison's grandfather...

Stacey and Allison have some hope now about their grandfather's recovery. At 88, he still seems to be pretty tough! He was able to open his eyes last night, and he's also had surgery on his leg, with no futher complications. They are hopeful that he will soon be able to be off the ventilator. He's still in intensive care and has a long way to go, but they are thrilled that he was able to communicate with them a little last evening. Thanks to all for the concern and prayers!

Family accident...

Stacey and Allison's grandfather on their father's side of the family was injured badly late Monday evening in a car accident. Another driver crossed the center line and hit their grandfather's car head on. He was airlifted to St. John's in Springfield, and has numerous injuries, which are complicated by his age. They are still trying to stabilize him in order to treat some of the injuries.

The girls are spending time at the hospital with him, and I just wanted to let you know that we may not be at the top of our game right now. Thanks for understanding.

Debbie Sanders sketch layout for Saturday...

We're still feeling the Christmas spirit around here, and it's become a tradition that my December sketch is a Christmas layout. If you're like most of us, you won't have any trouble coming up with enough photos to fill these pages!

We'll be making the layout above in the Debbie Sanders free sketch sessions this Saturday. Your cost to make this layout? About $4. Can't beat that deal!

Just call us at 417-886-0440 to register for a session at 10 am or 2:30 pm on Saturday, December 10. Bring basic tools, and we'll provide you with a free computer sketch that you can use over and over!

And don't forget, we'll punch your Studio G Reward Card. Don't have one yet? No problem, we'll be happy to get you started on the way to earning some great rewards like free page kits, $20 gift cards, My Mind's Eye collection kits, We R Memory Keepers 12x12 albums, and more!

Card Party class, second sneak peek...

After great classes the past three months, SG's Card Party class continues in December with the same concept...three teachers, three cards, three tags, three stations, and three totally different approaches to cardmaking.

Today, we're showing you the card and tag that will be taught by Katrina Hunt. This is one-third of the projects you'll be making in the class. Katrina's projects will showcase punches, including the "punch anywhere" type.

This Card Party class takes place Thursday, December 8 at 6 pm. The fee is $15. To sign up, call 417-886-0440.

As soon as possible, we'll show youStacey Atchley's cards and tags. The projects by Allison Davis are shown in an earlier post.

And what can I say about Smash books? People are carrying them out three and four at a time, for themselves, and for gifts for daughters, nieces, and grand-daughters. I've re-ordered the whole set of books and accessories THREE times in the past WEEK, which has never happened with anything we've ever sold before. As soon as I get off here, I'm placing a fourth order, because I just spotted a customer walking around with four books! If you haven't checked them out, stop by and see for yourself. The Smash books are just plain fun!

Check out the Sunday News-Leader!

Sunday, December 4, the Springfield News-Leader will feature one or both of these printer tray creations by Allison Davis. The designs will appear in an article about handmade Christmas gifts in the range of $20. Most of our local customers will have seen the white tray, because we've had it on display for quite some time. Allison created the black tray with photos of Drew's spring concert appearance as a rock star especially for the feature article.

We've stocked up with the 7Gypsies printer trays in both finishes. As Allison shows, you can embellish a little or a lot, and end up with a beautiful gift either way.

Timeless Treasures class...

Shirley Hall will be teaching her first class at SG in December, and we're so glad to welcome her! She has created a lovely vintage Christmas layout using several distressing and aging techniques, and also some glitzy touches to add a little holiday sparkle. Shirley is extremely talented, and based on knowing her for several years, we think she'll be an excellent teacher.

The class is Thursday, December 15 at 2 pm. To register for the class, call 417-886-0440. The fee is $15.
