Happy New Year - 2013

It is that time of year when we are all recuperating from the busy end-of-the-year holiday craziness. 

We have gotten our class schedule partially finished, and I will post it here as soon as it is done.

The first class currently on the schedule is for Saturday morning, January 19 from 9 - 11.  Terri will introduce you to the world of making polymer clay beads and cabochons.  The cost of this class is $20 and includes all of your materials.

That afternoon, Mary will help you make Valentines with her own special flair.

The 26th, in the morning, Cindy will have a version of the Accordion Card just right for Spring.

As usual, our ever-popular Crafting A-La-Carte is available in a variety of daytime and evening time-frames.

Book-lace

What is Crafting A-La-Carte?  It is time we have set-aside for a class, but we do not schedule anything until someone reserves that time.  The first person to reserve the time chooses what the topic will be and any others that sign up will take that class as well.  We have over 200 classes we can teach, please check our website for a list of classes & descriptions.  If you wish to see a photo, please let us know and we can send you one, or you can stop by to see.  We do need 24 hour advance notice for the A-La-Carte classes so we may be prepared.  Please note that there may be a small number of classes that we cannot do on that short a notice because of special supplies needed.

Remember, spaces fill fast, call today to reserve your space.

Shop Hop Reminder

This should be LOADS of FUN!

Good morning fellow creative people!

We have so much fun planned for the Carolina Shop Hop!  Mary & Cindy are holding eClips demos and Make-n-Takes on Saturday.  (The two of them were both recently certified as eClips Instructors by Sizzix!)  The demos will be at 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM & 3:30 PM... the Make-n-Takes will be between the demos.  The demos will last about 15 - 20 minutes each so there will be plenty of time for you to play with eClips generated goodies!

Don't forget, we will be OPEN special hours on Sunday (10/21) from 1 - 4 PM!

The remainder of the Hop Terri, Cindy & Mary plan a variety of Make-n-Takes so that when you come back for your 2nd or 3rd (or 4th) visit, you will have a different Make-n-Take to enjoy.

There are prizes drawings for those who visit 8 or more shops as  well as those who visit all 11!  We have some FUN things up our sleeves and cannot wait to share with all of you!

Sorry it's a little late... She's Home!!!

Terri came home (well... to our house) on Thursday.
She is getting plenty of rest & plenty of spoiling from all of the wonderful people that know & love her.
The pathology report is due tomorrow, and her follow-up with the surgeon is late Tuesday morning.  We will know more then, hopefully.
Yesterday she conserved her energy so she could go with us to our usual Saturday night restaurant, New York Pizza, in Anderson, SC.  The owner & staff are like family to us & she wanted to be able to show them she is doing well... (and, enjoy their awesome pizza!).
We sure have good luck, Karma, angels, God, good spirits or what-have-you on our side.  This has been such a whirlwind couple of weeks & our true friends have emerged once again to give us support, love & assistance.  We could not ask for more (well, that she never had the tumor might be one request, but we learn from adversity...and we cannot change what was).
(I guess it makes me feel a bit like a wimp with migraines... LOL)
Friends have offered to help at the store & refuse payment, one thought I should not have given her a discount when she bought her items at the end of the day, another said she would be insulted if we even offered to pay.  But their help is worth a lot to us all. To Terri so she can feel less stress about the coverage at the store, & Dad and I so we can at least take a few hours off each.
Dad is a real trooper, he has worked just about every day (except Sunday) for 2 weeks.  I am grateful to Phyllis for helping me watch the shop yesterday so he could have a break.  I was able to get a couple of hours off Friday morning thanks to Mary for being an extra set of eyes at the store & a real help for anyone looking at the stamping supplies.
I have tried to keep up with updating everyone about Terri's progress, but it is not always easy to find the time when I have the energy.  Please forgive me if I missed anyone, it was not intentional.
Yes, this post will be cross-posted to the store's blog...

If anyone wants to help out at the store, please email the store ( mercantinc@aol.com ) with days & times so we can have a written list.  A few of you have told me days, but I for some reason cannot remember when they are...

This morning's update

Terri is sitting up and doing well.
We, unfortunately had no phone or internet at the store this morning.  But the best news is that she is already posting on facebook herself!  You know she is doing well!
I will be going with Dad this evening to visit her.
She is in ICU as a precautionary measure until tomorrow with release planned for Thursday.

Cindy

Last night's visit

Good morning everyone!
I was too physically exhausted to go visit Terri along with Dad & Ben & our neighbor Luke.
Dad reports that she was doing very well & in good spirits.
She was still in ICU (regular protocol) but should move to a regular room today.
I will update more when I hear more.
Thank you all for your concerns, healing thoughts, prayers & offers of help.  They are all appreciated.
Cindy

As of 1:12 PM

Rodney sent a message that the surgery was going well.
I will update when I know more.

Cindy

When Life Gives You Limes - Make Pie

The title of the post is a quote from my nephew Ben.  I like it!

As some of you already know, Terri is having surgery tomorrow morning at 11.

The store will remain open.

Please check her note on our web site www.The MercantileStore.com  She explains why she is having surgery & what you can do to help out.

I will be posting updates here as I can.  But, if there isn't anything up here yet, call the store for details. 

Her surgery is scheduled to last nearly 3 hours.  And that being said, I do not know yet what time we will know anything.  Her husband Rodney will be at the hospital & will let us know as soon as he can, but his first priority is Terri.

Thank you all for being such wonderful people, friends & family.  Your support has been wonderful.

Cindy
