how do i love thee?

How do I love thee? Very much if you are the sweetheart of one of these men. Every year on Valentines Day, this group of men come to Pebbles to make their wives and their kids handmade valentines... straight from their heart.

They each pick out their favorite papers & embellishments [none of them match real well], come up with their own theme and get started. Magic happens and each one is priceless!

Each one is so unique and special... we call it a keeper of a gift. Their loved ones will agree. Customers in the store are more than interested as they wonder what these men are up to. When we tell them, they look longingly at them and wonder how to get their men involved. It really is simple... send them to Pebbles and we will help get them started and provide the space for them to work. Send them in with their friends if it makes them feel more comfortable. Give us a heads up and we will be ready to help them! They [and you] will be in good hands :)

Happy Thursday!

jack

Our daughter and store manager, along with her husband Paul are getting settled and enjoying this new miracle in their lives... Jack Raymond Ward. Even though life has slowed down during this time of loving him, I have found time to begin creating Easter & Spring creativity & kits that will be coming out soon... Thank you for your support of Pebbles and our family. We appreciate you!

and the walls come tumbling down...

Take one step into Pebbles in my Pocket and you will quickly be aware that something is going on... the sounds of construction in the basement. Rest easy... Pebbles is staying put, but we are adding on!

Many of you may not even know that we have the same amount of space downstairs as we do upstairs. After much pondering, I have decided to place half of Pebbles for lease. We only use half of our 7,000sq ft. and the rest of the space sits empty. I signed this past week with a clothing boutique company 'House of Denim'. That's right... we will soon have a wonderful new boutique business join Pebbles under one roof [separate businesses though]. So the tear down and clearing out of the basement has begun. Oh my! How 20 years of business does pile up! Everyone in the family has pitched in and helped just as they always have through the years... the guys seemed to really like demolishing the walls. Together is a good place to be isn't it?

I am working hard at simplifying life... This is new to me as I talk a lot about it, yet have never been able to quite grasp it. It always feels just out of my reach. With Larry working at the hospital now, the kids with their growing families, grandkids & school something has to change. I have a lot of ideas floating in my head and I am excited for the future... check back here often :]

hello jack raymond ward

He is here! Jack Raymond Ward was born Monday January 23 at 11:44pm to Ashlee & Paul [our Orem store manager & my daughter]. We are overjoyed and our feet have yet to touch the ground. So many of you have been so kind and know the long journey for Ashlee & Paul to get this child here. I thought I would take a moment to share his pictures with you. More can be found on our family blog here. Thank you for your friendship through the years... we appreciate all of you!
