And last but not least!!!!!!!!
"Christmas in July" starts tomorrow July 13 - July 25. All in stock Christmas and Hannukah canvases are 25% off. And to really make this about the gift giving season, for each "sale" Christmas canvas you purchase you can pick out a "non-Christmas" canvas of your choice for 20%. In my house we call this "To Me, From Me, Love Me". One Christmas gift/canvas for you, one canvas for me! Two Christmas canvases at 25% off gets you two extra canvases at 20% off. And to sweeten the deal, we will be offering free shipping July 13th - 15th (take that Amazon Prime Day). Here's just a few of my favorite Christmas beauties:
$57 / $42.75 $86 / $64.50 $155/ $116.25
$87 / $65.25 $79 / $59.25 $130 / $97.50
And do I have some favorite in stock canvases? Of course!
Can't make it into the shop, you can still take advantage of the sale. Just call or email and we will take care of your order. Please make sure to include all the necessary information in your email: phone, address, name, and canvas design name and we will get back to you as soon as possible (I love my POS system, but this is just too many coupon codes for it so old school it is!)

Until next time - keep on stitching!
