Well I think spring is on its way...Although the weather can't seem to make up its mind...But there is clearly something in the air, a change, things feel different. Maybe its because we are springing forward tonight, or it could be we are just ready for that change... I know I am...
Its time to move forward on things that have been set aside, or maybe a new project that you have been thinking about. Here at The Crimson Cottage we are going in several directions.
After working on my Cookbook off and on for the past year or so, I have decided to get serious. I have taken what I have so far and sent it off to my 2 editors...That would be my sister Cathy and my sister, because I want her to be, Nancie...Since both of them have spent so much time in the "Book World" they have so much knowledge and neither one of them has any problem telling me what I have done wrong, or for that matter how to fix it...I am so lucky to have them working with me on this project...I will keep you updated on the progress and will be including tips and recipes in my blog...
As I mentioned in the last blog I am holding "Let's Get Organized" classes here at the Crimson Cottage. The next 4 week session begins on Wednesday, April 4th from 6 to 8 pm...We just finished up the first session and I was delighted with how well it went...Not really knowing how this was going to all come together I was a bit nervous as to whether people were actually going to get enough out of the class to make changes in their lives. They were given the tools and encouragement to get motivated and they were able to make those changes and move forward. I have to say that I loved the class, to be able to talk through your organizing issues with a small group really worked wonders for these women, I was so pleased... I keep the class size to no more than 6, it is very informal and we will find a way to deal with any issue you are having...If you are interested in more information please email me at carenwhiteside@verison.net or call The Crimson Cottage at 909 445-1205
Here are a few tips on getting organized...
Start your children early picking up toys and putting things away...
Share with your children the importance of donating...
We can't keep all of the wonderful things from our children's childhood...Start a "Keep Forever" box to pass onto them when they have their own home. Let your child help in deciding what is to be kept...Lots of special moments here...
Signs, signs, signs...Here at Crimson Cottage we have always done well with signs...People coming into the store and seeing a sign would often say how close some of the words would hit home. Whether it was thoughtful or amusing it brought someone or something to mind...So with the help of our printer Roger and the always amazing Wayne McNabb we are going to be making our own signs. This allows us to customize for our customer with the color or with the words...We shall have some displayed within the next 4 weeks...
So that is it for today...Next week we will discuss...Easter Brunch...Let's get cooking...
Talk Soon
