What a great Time!

We had a great time at our GRAND-Grand Opening. So many fun challenges, games and contest kept our day going. Our interactive scrappin bingo that was held at 3pm was a hit as well. Congratualtions to Rebecca, our bingo queen! Thank you to everyone who participated! You made the day fantastic. Of course, this day would never have happened if it was not for our very own SPICE GIRLS, aka-our Design Team. These ladies worked tirelessly to create and host all of the fun events.

At the grand opening, we also revealed our very first TOP CHEF of the month, Debbie Weinhold. Her work is just stunning, and we are so very fortunate to have it in our gallery. Debbie will also post a challenge for everyone to participate, within the next few days.
