Hello!

I'm always amazed at how time just flies by - was hoping to have this newsletter out to you by the 1st of the month (my intentions are always good - I just occasionally fall short - just a little too much on my plate once again).

Well, I just love this time of year, the leaves are all changing and the holidays are upon us. Time to gather with friends and family - and vacation time for the Ferguson family......off for a little R&R. We will be closed from November 17th to November 27th - we are taking the kids on a Caribbean cruise.

Hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday - enjoy the time off to relax, rest and maybe get some of those things done on the to-do list. As you read on, you will find that I plan on getting a little R&R before I hit my to-do-list and it's long.

Happy Holidays, Jim, Jennifer, Ashley & Tyler Ferguson

GETTING A NEW HOME   Artistic Painting Studio is Moving Well, the lease finally ran out at our current location and it was time to find a new home for our studio. We are currently in the process of transforming the new location, removing the old carpets, troweling the walls and ceilings smooth - well, we are just changing everything. We will be working on the new place for the rest of the year and will make the move by the years end. If you are out and about - you are welcome to visit us at the new location and see the transformation in progress - our new address is 352 W. Bedford, Suite 106 (located off of Ingram and Bedford behind Lowe's). During the process of our big move, we are still open for business at our current location (N/W Corner of Bullard & Palm). Once we are all settled in after the new year - we will be inviting everyone to a wonderful open house event. Look for more news of this event in upcoming newsletters - but, please feel free to stop in anytime to see the process - I would be more than happy to show you around at let you see what I'm working on.
