Well, I'd like to wish everyone a good morning but I'm afraid that I'm just not feeling it today. As I'm sure most of you probably know by now, we have decided to close the store.
It was not an easy decision to make, but it was a necessary one. I loved being a store owner, not only did it afford me the luxury of going to work almost everyday and loving what I did, but it allowed me to meet amazing people who also share my love of crafting.
As store owners we have been able to travel, to see the latest products before they hit the shelves, and of course to meet celebrities in our industry, and yes I mean Tim Holtz!LOL
I just want everyone to know that this is not the end, and that you haven't heard the last from Jodie Heuser. I will still be posting regularly on my blog, plus I'm looking into starting up some personal ventures so you will want to stay tuned for that.
Thank you everyone for your well wishes and support and I will post again on Monday. I hope everyone has a blessed weekend.

I am so sorry to hear of the closing. while I never took classes there, I enjoyed coming in to look at the stamps and beautiful papers and peek into the classroom. I always bought my magazines from you instead of going to Barnes & Noble and will greatly miss the store.
It really is a shame that small businesses are having such a terrible time. We all need to remember that bigger isn't always better and do a better job of supporting our local small businesses around town.
Jodie and all the ladies...
I am so sorry to hear about the store closing. Our group always enjoyed our time there. I wish we had "found" you sooner :( But I want to extend my thanks for your wonderful facility and outstanding customer service. We are saddened to see another store close b/c bigger isnt always better. NOT even close. Many well wishes to you and the ladies. God Bless...

I can only imagine how you all are feeling, I know my heart is broken to hear the news! I LOVED taking classes with you both and was so looking forward to all the classes I was wanting to take in the new year. I can honestly say that I have never been in a store where I felt so welcomed and comfortable and shown so much hospitality! I hate this for you all and will keep you in my prayers and will look forward to any new adventures you have coming our way! God Bless you both!
