Cultured Expressions

Cultured Expressions Though I focus on being grateful every day I wake up, I guess I do think about specific blessings more during this holiday week. And I'm thankful for our 191 CE fans ; ) Any chance we can make it over the 200 mark by Thanksgiving day? Then we can do another GIVEAWAY!! This time we'll do a Gift Certificate...or maybe TWO!!

Nina Hey Lisa....I love the new website, it's bright, neat, clean, easy to navigate and also very well done. I've seen that some pages still need to be built but I understand that is underway. It's also great to see that the shopping cart is included in the site. :)

Cultured Expressions The 10th Annual PanAfrican Conference at Principia was excellent! The students did a great job of celebrating the more uplifting, inspiring aspects of The Continent. Loved the Guest House (picture me in the all-night kitchen making tea at 1am...just like home ; ) Hope to visit again soon- next time I'll bring Glen. ... Congratulations to Darline, Cliff, Bente & the Board members -thanks for including CE.

Cultured Expressions I'm trying to settle on a date for another Open House...when are you all free? ; ) If we set it for early December, does that give you enough time to make your holiday gifts, or are we not concerned about that?? Any thoughts??
