Hey, Nancy at Fancy Flours is at it again. Her ginger bread houses are so very popular for the December Holiday season but she also has terrific gingerbread houses for Halloween, Valentine's Day, birthdays and birth announcements and almost any ocassion. Nancy says they are so easy to make that even Stana and I could make one. I think she is right.

Below are two samples of her houses. Look for more details on Nancy's web site as she adds more products in the coming weeks in the lead up to the Holiday Season.

Hey!!!

Dee-O-Gee has it's grand opening today and tomorrow. It's a great pet store with some very unique and fun pet indulgences. They also have natural pet treats and pet food, as well as a grooming service.

We've taken our daughter's precious Diamond to Dee-O-Gee for a bath and trim. They did a great job and Diamond had a great time.

We've decided to do a promotion tie-in with Dee-O-Gee. When your accumulated pet shopping reaches $500 at the store over time, bring your filled in card to us and get a free "Pets and their People" session. Your're going to buy cool things there anyway, so why not get a free photo session as a bonus. Of course, we welcome and encourage you to use your card and have the entire family photographed with or without Fido. It's your card, you earned it, use it as you wish.

Below is what the card looks like on the front and back. Ask Holly or Josh at Dee-O-Gee to get your card started after your first purchase.

Last June we worked with Nancy Quist of Fancy Flours and Classic Ink of Bozeman to help them create the Fancy Flours' autumn catalog of cake & cookie decorating supplies.

The catalog was just released and Nancy tells us it's been a big hit with customers. So, she is anticipating equal response to the Holiday Catalog coming out very soon. Big kudos to Kietra and her team at Classic Ink for the layout job on the catalogs.

And a very special thanks to Nancy of Fancy Flours who could make the last night on the Titanic fun. I wish every commercial shoot was as much fun and full of laughs. We could forget the centerpiece cake sliding off the tray and splatting on the studio floor. For most that would be cause for panic or consternation, but for Nancy it was time to laugh out loud. Thanks again, Nancy!
