Thank you to our TBEC leaders, for all the work that you put into making our team 
event so successful!

Well, I'm another year older as of yesterday!  I'm so thankful for my mom and dad, my sisters, my two extraordinary children, cousins and extended family, and the many friends who have sent birthday wishes and took time to give me a call!  I love you all so much.

I'm looking forward to hosting Thanksgiving this year, my first time so I'm hoping it will go well!  I'll have some photos of what I finally decide to decorate with and pics of the day later in the week.

This coming weekend is also Small Business Sat., 11-29 and I'll be at Peacock's, 200 Clw-Largo Rd., for a TBEC team event!  I hope you will come out and say hello, pick up a few giftie things and 
enjoy the day...it could be a chilly one according to the weather report I read this morning.  But, you know how those things go in Florida!  
Come on out, no matter the weather, and meet my team!

I met this next TBEC member at the Crafts and Drafts show, loved her work, took a business card and came home to check out her shop.  I ended up purchasing a gift for a friend and since we live fairly close, 
we met a local shop for some hot coffee and a chaton a windy, cool day.  It was a very nice break on a hectic day.
Thank you again Julie, my gift will be very much appreciated and loved by my friend!

Here are a few things from her shop, 
please pop in and have a look around!

Small Business Saturday is November 29th 
and coming up fast!
Ditch the big box stores this year 
and shop small and local!

I would love to see a bunch of my friends at this fun, family event!  
You'll find great holiday gifts, grab some yummy food, hang out and chat 
with your friends, old and new!

TBEC was well represented at Creative Loafing's

Although I missed a lot of our member's booths, 
I was able to get a few pics of some that were close by.
