SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PLANNED FOR COOK N CRAFT ACADEMY'S GRAND OPENING?

We are so excited...tommorrow is the big day and we can hardly wait.  Remember how excited you were before your very first day of school....hmmmm well maybe not.  Remember how excited you were the day before your birthday?  Well that's how we're feeling.  We're planning a big party and hope you can join us.   We have so much to do we're hoping we can get it all done...but also know...we can only do the best we can....and after that...it's in God's Hands!

My uncle Andrew who now lives in Florida was so kind to send us some beautiful banners and flags that say Grand Opening.  Quick note about my Uncle Andrew...he's really an amazing and interesting guy.  He was going to be a professional ball player until he hurt his arm.  He was in the Giants farm system,,,and how cool would that have been to have your uncle play in the big leagues?  Well even though he got hurt...he's still really cool.  When the baseball injury sidelined him he went into business and owned a Carvel Shop in the Bronx with his brother--My uncle Charlie.  It was at that Carvel ice cream store that my dad (their other brother) was working and met my mom!  (and of course the rest is history).....Anyway, Uncle Andrew went into the sign business later and that's how we will have our amazing signs....Super excited.

Our Ribbon Cutting ceremony starts at 1 pm.   And to be honest with you I don't think I was ever at a Ribbon cutting ceremony so I don't really know what to expect...we'll learn together.  Once those festivities end...we're firing up the grill and we'll barbecue some hotdogs and hamburgers...so bring your appetite.

We've got lots of prizes....free classes, bags, craft kits, tee-shirts.  So much fun stuff that we figured we can start pulling tickets for prizes every 15 minutes.  So fill out your name and email so you can win a prize.  You do need to be present...but since it's every 15 minutes...no worries to be in a time crunch!!!

We're also hosting a Cake Walk...think musical chairs but no chairs...and the prize is CAKE.  If you're a winner you'll have your choice of an Olive oil lemon cake, Chocolate covered Strawberry cake, a chocolate kitkat candy cake, a pecan cinnamon cake, a giant chocolate chip cookie...and we may whip up a few more...imagine if you win...what a great item to celebrate your own Mother's Day festivities.

We are also planning crafts for the kids...we have 3 different crafts and they're perfect for you or a great last minute mother's day gift.

We also have some fun face painting for the kids....

Most of all we're looking forward to meeting all of you....saying hello to new and old friends!  Hope you can join us!!!   Remember it's tommorrow May 12th from 1 to 5 pm.  We'd love you to be there for the ribbon cutting ceremony at 1 pm...it would be our honor since you've all been so supportive to us! 

xoxox Thanks!
