It's been a great summer!


Hello!
As the summer season of workshops is winding down, I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. I guess it is true, time flies when you are having fun!
I am in the last of my busy season- I have 4 more August workshops! These last 3-4 weeks have been non-stop. My animal stock is running low- almost time to replenish!
Oh, I have my August Newsletter ready to go out. Here it is...


The Texas summer has returned. I hope this finds everyone staying as cool as possible. Preparing and packing for workshops this time of year tends to be a very sticky situation. I am sure my neighbors find me quite entertaining as I tend to pack my car around 10pm every night for the next days workshops!

Fall is just around the corner...
I know it is hard to imagine now, but Fall WILL be here before we know it. My company is, of course, ready for the Fall Festivals and Fairs with our newest cuddly friend- a brown and light orange fur ball called, "OctoBear"! The orange hat is optional. AND, we have a special price of just $12 per bear ($2 extra for the hat), for any bookings of at least 15 participants! Otherwise, the regular price is $15 per bear (still $2 extra for the hat).



So, if you need a special activity that involves children, you may want to consider adding this cute little furry friend to your festivities. Children of ALL ages truly enjoy this hands on activity of making your own new cuddly friend!

Gift Cards are Here, Gift Cards are Here!
Yes, they have arrived and I am so excited! The Noah's Ark Workshop $10 and $25 Gift Cards are now available to purchase off of my website- www.MakeYourOwnStuffedAnimal.com. You can have them shipped (for FREE) anywhere in the US. So, if you have that niece or nephew that you just don't know what to get them, here is a perfect gift choice. We have so many great furry friends and outfits for them to choose from!





New Catalogues
Attached to the new gift cards will be a 44 page mini-catalogue! In full color! All of our new animals will be featured, as well as, all of the clothing, accessories, purses, shoes, voice chips, shirts, etc... You get the picture. For the first 10 people that e-mail me and put "catalogue" in the subject line, I will mail you out our new 44 page mini-catalogue along with a $5 gift card. So, start e-mailing away- Animalstogo@aol.com!

Know of any good Fall Festivals?
The Fall is my time of year to set up booths at Fall Festivals. I am always looking for good, and not too expensive, Festivals and Fairs. So, are you on a PTA or PTO? Is your church hosting a Fall Festival? I would so appreciate any information about well attended Fall events.


Know anyone...
Interested in making some extra cash? With the holidays just around the corner, (wow-I've gone from the dog days of summer to Christmas all in one newsletter), who couldn't use some extra cash?
My company is offering a $29 joining fee. For $29 you, or someone you know, can become a Noah's Ark Workshop Crew Member and make some extra cash.
How does it work, you ask? Simple, you purchase your workshop animals/outfits at a discount (your discount is anywhere between 35% and 45% depending on how much you order) and then you sell your items for the retail price. OR, not interested in conducting workshops, then you can just send people to purchase items from your website (which you receive for FREE when you sign up as a Crew Member) and the corporate offices cut you a check once a month for 35% percent of your sales. You can even sign up your school and run your own event as a fundraiser. And, I am here to help you get started.


That is it for now. Must go get some rest- 2 workshops tomorrow and a big Girl Scout kick off on Saturday!
