At the Dallas Market Center Holiday and Home Expo!

Just when you thought all the Christmas Shopping was done…..it’s time to go the Dallas Market Center and shop for the 2012 Fall and Holiday Season. It’s amazing to see the elaborate and colorful displays of every kind of holiday decoration you can imagine and even some that you can’t believe were imagined at all  We go through many showrooms looking for everything from spooky witches and glitzy pumpkins, glittered poinsettias and hot cocoa mugs, to nativity sets to nutcrackers and everything in between.

There are some wonderful new things for both fall and Chrismtas and we are looking forward to sharing them with you later in the year. Meanwhile, we have 3 more days of shopping left!

January…. a New Year! There is something about the prospect of what the new year may bring that gives so many of us energy to set new goals, start new projects, and become inspired to rearrange our ‘nests’.   Revaluating and reorganizing are usually the first steps.   Finding a nice way to store things and keep them organized will help you evaluate just what to keep and what to give away. Weeding out and donating the things you are done with makes room to get the new things that bring a spark of energy to the room.

Something as simple as a new piece of wall art or a couple pillows can really lift a room and give it a new look without spending a lot of money and will allow you to change it up easily as you move through the seasons.

The Spring 2012 items are showing up by the truckload! If you need some inspiration to get you motivated to renew, refresh and redecorate your nest, come see what’s new! Happy New Year! Happy New Room!

This is it, the final count down. 1 day until Christmas. Do you still have a list of things to do before Santa arrives? (you can track Santa’s journey here www.noradsanta.org)

As I was sitting on the living room floor at 1 am, wrapping presents, waiting for the next batch of cookies to bake, and hoping the glue would soon be dry on the earrings I had made, I thought of a handful of last minute things that I needed to get. Thank goodness I am here, at Ben Franklin Crafts today. Curling ribbon, Scotch tape and just one more toy. Some of us just can’t seem to stop adding to the list until finally Christmas arrives and the planning for next Christmas can begin. Monday, the Super Christmas Clearance sale begins. All Christmas will be 50% Off. So, I will get a jump on my Christmas early and maybe that way I won’t find myself wrapping gifts at 1 am the day before Christmas eve. (Although I have to admit, wrapping gifts, the smell of warm cookies in the oven and a good Christmas movie is kind of fun).

If you too have last minute shopping to do, the store will be open tomorrow until 6pm. Right now all the Christmas and holiday home decor is 30% OFF. If you want the best selection of what is in stock, do it now. The Toy Sale and Art Supply Sale are in effect until tomorrow as well.

In middle of the mad rush to get everything crossed off your To Do list, stop and enjoy the moments that bring joy. Even something as simple as the smell of cookies in the oven :) .

 Happy Holidays!
