craft, & stamping supplies. We also have gifts and ready
made crafts available. We offer classes at the shop and at
our twice a year conference. Check with us often to find
out the latest we have to offer.
getting back into the schedule. Classes will start again in
January so check back for more details. We'll be having
a card class and then early in February we'll have a
Valentine's card exchange. Check back for more
information. There are still a few kits left in the shop and I
have one Gypsy available for sale. Check out our
cartridges for the cricket available to rent on a weekly
rental. Let me know what you're looking for and we can
get it in for you. Don't forget to plan for our next
Scrapbooking Conference June 4-5.
everyone enjoys a wonderful day filled with family and
fun. Then the hectic Christmas season is in full swing.
On Dec. 5 the Malad Chamber of Commerce is holding
an event at the Senior Citizen's Center next door. We
are also planning a great sale that day so be sure to
stop by! As many of you know, I've been working
another job at A-Z Family Services next door to the
shop. I still plan on doing classes, etc. so please
contact me by phone to plan a time. Our next
conference is June 4-5. Since this is so far in the future,
I was planning on having a scrappin at the cabin but
both cabins I have used in the past have been sold so
I'm not sure when or where I'll be able to plan one. We
had a great Christmas card exchange and cookie
exchange last week. I loved all the cards I got. What
great ideas! Talen has been to his first extensive
physical therapy treatment session in Oct. and has
shown some strength in his neck muscles. If you would
like to read about his treatment, go to Shelly's blog at
www.shellyvaughn.blogspot.com. There are also
pictures there showing him at his session. I still have
two Gypsy machines available at the shop if you are
looking for a wonderful present for your Cricut machine.
Tell your husband to contact me for more information.
I've had a hard time keeping current with my blog so
please forgive me. I'm sorry it's so long inbetween posts!
month has been busy for me. I've been putting in a lot of time at A to Z Family Services where I do billing data entry
and help them with their day care. The shop has been open Tues. & Wed. when I get finished at A to Z but I need to
change days so the days at the shop will change too. I'll now be open Wed-Thurs. 4:30 pm - 6 pm and Friday 11
am - 5 pm. I will be in the shop most Saturdays but you will need to call ahead to make sure I will be there. I'm
sorry if there is any inconvience but I need the other work to keep the shop open. I have classes lined up through
Dec. so check the website and call for any questions on classes. We still have several kits available so come in
and check us out!
attendance but it was lots of fun and lots to learn. The silent auction for Talen turned out good and Shelly was
touched by the generosity of all who gave and bought the items. We had several bidding wars going on and it
was all in good fun! THANKS EVERYONE! I will keep you all posted as to Talen's progress as he attends this
new therapy. There was quite a few kits left over so if anyone is interested, let me know what you'd like (mine
are at the store, but I can still get some from the other teachers). Here's some pictures of the fun we had:
the summer is going. I have our first
class for conference listed on the site
so be sure to check it out. More will
be coming soon. We will be holding
a silent auction at the conference for
Talen Vaughn (Shelly's little boy). I
have attached the information so you
can read up on his progress.
4pm - 6pm. And Friday & Sat. from 11am - 5pm. Hopefully we can start some later classes, etc. We have new
paper out and new embellishments. Be sure to drop by and see what we have in stock. The dates for our next
conference have been set. Our fall conference will be Sept. 11 - 12th. So mark your calendars now so you won't
forget.
there to say a big "Thank You!" for the donations at our last spring conference. It's been a long time coming but
he will be receiving his wheelchair in June. Lots of good suggestions and I must say "I'M SORRY!"
Until it was brought to my attention, I forgot to give away the prize for the pre-registration winner. That person
was Rachel Green. I will be sure she gets the prize. Just too much going on to remember everything. So
thanks for the reminder.
so I called and cancelled the cancelling of the second room. We still have two rooms and plenty of space. So if you
know of anyone who might be interested, just bring them with you. See ya soon!
most lovable little boy you could ever know. His blue eyes sparkle with enthusiasm when he sees other kids
laughing, dancing, or playing, but these simple childhood pleasures have yet to be a part of Talen's world.
When Talen was 4 months old his parents began to recognize that the normally exciting milestones like
reaching for toys or just sitting up were eluding him. By 6 months, the rigorous road of testing began. In 2 years
he has had more visits to doctors than most people have in a lifetime. Test after test has come back normal
with no explanation for his current condition. His arms & legs do not function well and holding up his head on
his own is extremely difficult. He cannot play with toys, feed himself, or explore the world like most children. He
doesn't talk, but if you watch closely you can see him communicate. Talen's parents recognize that there may be
some neurological problems but for the most part they truly believe that Talen is just inside a little body that
doesn't know how to work. We are asking all who can, to help Talen participate in a new intense Physical
Therapy program, located in Provo, Utah. The non profit organization is called "Now I Can". (nowican.org) This
program is designed to help people with disabilities gain control over their bodies. Without insurance, and with
no other programs available to help pay for the new therapy, our hope is to raise enough to give this amazing
little boy, the opportunity to have the best quality of life possible.
