of Des Moines as the charity we will work with, giving them 50 percent of the day’s revenues. Plus 100 percent of your purchases of the Children’s designed holiday cards will go to the connection. And that is not all! There is a

Silent Auction & Grand Prize Drawing for

Your name will be entered into the drawing if you either 1) donate a piece of décor or furniture painted with Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan for the silent auction or 2) write a check on the 21st made out to the Children’s Cancer Connection for $30 or more!

TIP OF THE MONTH

Add a little shimmer to your holiday projects with a couple of products we offer. French gilding waxes that are metallic in golds, coppers and silvers can be used as you final detail after you have finished waxing your piece. Apply with a finger, brush or by making a glaze by adding a few drops of mineral spirits to a small quantity of gilding wax. Or add a pearlized look by adding paint to Artisan Enhancements Pearl Plaster. Just that little extra pop that makes your work sparkle!
