Book Orders

I placed January's book order last week, so the books should be arriving any day now. I apologize for the long wait. I am usually really good about placing orders in a timely manner.

New catalogs were sent home today for March and Spring. I promise to submit these orders on time. Cross my heart!

Warmly,
Mrs. Newman
