Hey JoAnn-
The Yo Man, along with several other yo cards are in the current magazine, page 87. The store is decked out for the holidays~ there are the most wonderful tree skirts, vintage gift tags, and linens right now. I found some yummy soy candles and chocolates for stocking stuffers over the weekend.
Warmly, Rebekka

Rene, Do you have a picture of the finished Yo man? Is the store doing anything special for the holidays? Like to make it down but it all depends on the weather. JoAnn |

I was just in Coeur D Alene this weekend for Thanksgiving (I was visiting my grandmother in Sandpoint) and I went to the shop. It is beautiful! I really enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I didn't make any purchases because I am short on funds at the moment, but it was lovely to look at! And the trailer outside of the shop is totally awesome! My dad went with me to the shop and he loved the trailer.

Here are some pictures from the class Rebekka and I (Rene) held at the Store in Coeur D Alene, Idaho. We taught the YoMan Christmas cards and had such a great time.

Sherri-
I am sure you would teach us a thing or two as well! The best part about these classes is having the time to sit down with other gals chatting and sharing ideas. When we were in Iowa teaching classes we learned quite a few new tricks, everyone left with beautiful creations and we LAUGHED the whole time. What a great stress reliever it is to me to sit down and stitch with other women- plus it is a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy!
