From the DESIGN TEAM

Each month our customer Design Team creates pages, cards or other projects using products from the store.  This month they worked with the Basic Grey line.  They did a fabulous job.

How could I forget!

These papers are from a new company we found at CHA in July: G.C.D.

This is just a few papers from the Sophisticated Frost line from G.C.D.

What you can't see in the photo is the linen texture and metallic finish on it.  So pretty!!

Check out the full line we have in the store.

More preview photos

As I head off to work this morning...where I will have lots of new goodies to play with...I realized you will all have to wait until late (very late) in the day for me to post any of the new goodies....so  I will leave you with these to tide you over until then.....

The front entryway of GREEN HAVEN...love those twisty trees.

The kitchen area.  A few more appliances installed and a little cleaning and it will look amazing.

The living area

Bedroom view from the corner....the bathroom, with shower and sink and toilet, an extra sink area outside because one bathroom mirror and 4 women, you do the math....lol..and a closet.  There are 5 bathrooms total throughout the house, so no need to worry about not having enough.

And the best part.....the hot tub! This is the view from the back porch area looking into the HOT TUB room. Have I mentioned that this a 7 person tub?? Outside the porch is a patio with a sitting wall....so nice....I want one!

Happy LABOR Day

We are closed today in observance of LABOR DAY

No deliveries of new things today, so I will share with you 

some of the sneak peaks I got of 

GREEN HAVEN retreat.

Patti and Dan Green are busy completing the last of the building details and are down to the  assembly of furniture and decorating.

From the back door of the retreat workroom to our building.  A nice new path will bring you to our parking lot and around to our front door.

Here is the workroom.  Furniture to come....

Outside the workroom with a view of the back of our building.

Hope you enjoyed the sneak of the classroom. I have more of the inside that I will share as Dan and Patti get closer to the Open House on September 11 and 13th.

And on Tuesday, Leann and I will be busy unpacking more boxes.....lots and lots of them!!  Who knows what our delivery guys will bring? You'll have to stay tuned for that....or stop by and see for yourself.
