3 Cool Things I found at Holiday Happenings!

	1.) The AMAZING SNOW- It starts out feeling like a teaspoon of laundry detergent in your hand. Then you add a little water and WATCH as the snow grows and spills out of the palm of your hand! It is amazing! Once dehydrated again, you can collect it and reuse it again year after year. It is nontoxic and great for holiday decorating or just plain fun for kids of all ages. Box is $20 and makes a gallon. The Lubbock Fun Club will be receiving two orders between now and Christmas for those of us who wanted it. If you want some, click here and let us know.
	2.) Clics - the new glasses that CLICK in the middle with magnets - like the medical examiner on CSI wears - were the HIT and fun to find. They come in 12 colors and all sorts of strengths. Click here for more>
	3.) Comfort Shoes sold out at J Hoffman's booth this year and everybody was wanting some. These clogs are really plastic but look like aligator and the velvet bow makes them look dressy enough for any outfit. The best part, they make your feet feel fantastic. They are getting more in this week but tell them you saw them in the Fun Club newsletter and they can save a pair for you. They're only $25 or so and well worth it! Call J Hoffman at 797-8794 and ask them to hold a pair.
