Our table full of paper-crafting ideas was a haven for those seeking holiday inspiration at the Festival on Wed. Dozens of ideas inspired passersby. Come in and see these gift idea samples at our VIP Open House this Saturday, Dec. 6th. The handmade Christmas Album with over a dozen handmade layouts and gift certificate donated by VIP was a popular bidding item at the Festival. People were heard oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over it, so it was a hit! This lovely ensemble now has a new home and the winner has a beautiful album to use. Bravo for Haiwatha Homes and the Festival of Trees.
