Well, I opened this up and see that I haven't updated the blog since December!!! Wow.
As you might guess, things are busy with Great Falls' Blanket Days. I had a Sunday open in early April when I had hoped to have a Helena Blanket Day... turns out it was open because it was Easter. And then, after realizing that, I almost scheduled something else for that day. I'm not used to having open days on the weekends apparently. I'm shooting for May now.
I am in the beginning/middle of the Community Day Coupon Book sales but I'm getting a really late start. About the time I usually start Clint sprained his knee so I had to be around to do all his and my chores. Then I had a trip to visit my family - it'd been a couple of years and my folks both hit 75 this year. I'm finally getting into the selling groove, but I am really worried about making the cut for the sale days...those who sell the most before the sale get the best spots on sale days...and sale days are when you can really make the money.
The books are still $5 with a coupon for $10 off almost any item, a 30% off an item before 10 Saturday morning (it's a Friday/Saturday sale - April 27/28) and then the 10%-20% shopping pass... other coupons etc. If you even think you might be interested, please consider purchasing one of these books from me. Project Linus gets the entire $5 and it will help me get a better position on sale day. This is one of our primary sources of funds for fleece and other materials...and we'll probably have to purchase some batting in another year or so...please help if you can.
We had some great donations from Holy Spirit Catholic School and from Bethel Lutheran LOGOs. These were some busy kids!!! It is so heart warming to see the enthusiasm they all had wanting to help! Between the two groups we received almost 100 double fleece blankets!!!! Many thanks to them!
