Happy THANKSgiving

Happy THANKSgiving. This year I have so much to be thankful for....My family (especially my Reagan), my friends, my studios, and all of my wonderful customers. I am also thankful for the fact that we have been doing this for 5 years and we just keep getting bigger and better! Thank you for your support, friendship, challenges and patronage.

Holiday Hours

We will be closing early on Wednesday so we can go home and bake some pies and get our turkey ready for the oven.

We will be closed all day on Thanksgiving Day.

We will open at 12:00pm on Black Friday and we will stay till the last painter goes home. Typically, we stay pretty late (at least 9:00pm), so give us a call to see if we are open, you never know! We will be passing out grab bags with a free ornament to the first 30 customers at both studios, so don't wait too late or you'll miss out.

Starting December 1st, we will be open on Mondays from 10:00am-7:00pm. Just one more day for you to paint with us and work on those gifts.

Happenings at Doing Dishes

We have so much going on that we just have to share. We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and we will reopen at 12pm on Friday the 28th. We will be having door prizes all day at both locations on Black Friday, so stop by whenever you can and paint a piece. We are the perfect place to stop and relax and make a few Christmas gifts. With this economy, who wants to spend a fortune? This year, make your own gifts. Everyone loves a handmade gift and Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc. just love handprint gifts from their little ones.

Spend $25 now, get $10 to use in the New Year

We wll be starting a special on Friday the 28th, spend $25 in pottery and you will recieve a $10 coupon to use in the New Year. We will be handing out these coupons at both stores through December until we run out.

Elf on a Shelf Night

I learned about Elf on a Shelf from a few of my customers and I just thought it would be a cute project to do during the holidays. The story is that Santa Claus sends out some of his favorite elves to children's homes and every night the elves fly home to the North Pole and give Santa a naughty or nice report. Then, your elf flies back to his child's home, but he always lands on a new shelf. The fun part is to wake up in the morning and try to find which shelf he landed on. We are having a paint your own elf night. Each child will paint an elf, give it a name and decorate some cookies. We will print out a birth certificate and poem of Elf on a Shelf for you to take home with your elf.

When: December 5th 6:00-8:00pm at both locations

Cost: $25 per elf

Reservations are required as space is limited as we only have 20 elves.

Breakfast with Santa

We are so lucky that the big guy (Santa Claus) had a few hours to come hang out with us. He will be here on December 13th at 10am to have breakfast with your child and paint a cookie plate. We will provide juice, coffee, muffins, bagels and fruit. Please join us and make a plate your child will cherish forever.

Blood, Sweat and Tears

-have all been shed, but we are open for business at the Edgewood studio. We had a great grand opening. Thank you to all our wonderful customers who came out to support us. We still have plenty of tiles that need to be painted, so stop by today and paint a tile for our cash counter. More changes are still to come, like new floors and LOTS of new pottery. Check back in often, I will post pictures on a regular basis.
