Chalk Art Festival

Our own Renee Johnson's chalk art was featured in a Deseret News article! We thought you'd want to see just how talented she is and read up on this annual event. Her Twilight inspired design got some rave reviews and in case you were wondering, Team Edward ended up winning. :)

Renee's daughter, Alicia, was the featured youth artist at the festival. Her piece here was 8 feet wide! The Johnson family is certainly talented!

Cinco de Mayo Celebration and Birthdays

We want to thank EVERYONE for making April a huge success! We met the Company goal for the month and every department was instrumental in achieving this. Great job everyone!

Mark Durham also had a special Cinco de Mayo birthday and was given a birthday surprise, complete with a sombrero! We hope he had a Happy Birthday!

Joan Nielsen has a magic touch about her. She can turn anything into a festive and beautiful arrangement and really helps make our office feel like a home. :) We love all of the care and detail Joan puts into everything she does. She's a master proofer and can catch typos and errors that everyone else has overlooked. And our customers love her because she makes sure to take care of them.

Take a look at some of her magic she brought to our Cinco de Mayo celebration!

Julie Cagle has been a great support to the accounting department. She's stayed late a few days ago to make sure that all of the invoices were paid and shipped that day because she knew it needed to be done. We appreciate her extra effort to make sure the accounting department runs just a little bit smoother. :)

Jenny Lambson is always willing and happy to do any task that's asked of her. If a job takes some training like creating hair bows or learning computer skills to do packaging, she's a quick learner and is amazing at paying attention to detail. She helps make the lives of the design and sales team so much easier! Thanks Jenny, we're so glad to have you on board!
