We have been so lucky to have a mild winter so far and we hope it continues! We will be making some changes here at this winter. Due to a decision made by Disney,they have pulled their contract from our Industry and we will only be able to buy Disney pieces through March 2012 as long as supplies last. So if you want one; come paint it now or buy it and bring it back when you have time to paint. So we are adding some Marvel Comic pieces. We just added a Spiderman Bank, an Iron Man Bank, the Incredible Hulk Box & Spiderman Box too! Your kids will love these pieces.

Every Saturday Morning, in association with The Pop Shop and their Saturday Morning Pajama Event, after you treat your kids to a free breakfast at the The Pop Shop, come see us! Do you want to have more fun in your pajamas? Stop by after your Saturday Morning Breakfast! No Sitting Fee for kids if you wear your pajamas from 10am to Noon. PJ’s must be either nightgown or matching top and bottom pajama sets. Sweat suits, shorts and t-shirts, and similar apparel do not qualify as pajamas.

Our Easter pieces are here. We have lots of Easter stuff! Bunnies, Crosses, Cross Boxes and Easter Eggs. We have two styles of Easter Baskets, two great Bunny Bowls, Egg Salt & Pepper Shakers to which you can add iron chicken feet - so cute! So come and paint before stock runs low.

There's a red crocodile, an orange elephant, a purple fox and a polka-dotted donkey. More than anything, there's imagination. Filled with some of the most magnificently colorful animals of Eric Carle's career, this tribute to the creative life celebrates the power of art. The kids will paint a small lying horse today.

BEST PARENT-CHILD DATE NIGHT

They gave us Best Parent-Child Date Night! And here's what they had to say about us:

"Enjoy a bite to eat on Haddon Avenue, then head to the corner art studio at The Lumberyard development. You and your best bud will have a blast creating cherished souvenirs - from plates and pitchers to frames and figures. You don't need an art degree, just an imagination. And guess what? You won't be the only parent-child duo in the shop. All Fired Up is owned by a mother-daughter team!"

So thank you, thank you for voting for us and for continuing to support our little company. We love being a part of your family.

We are donating the paints, glazing and firing costs of the bowls. Your sitting fee is waived and $10.00 of the $20.00 you spend goes directly to the Food Bank of South Jersey. We will glaze and fire your bowls and they will usually be ready for pick up within 5 to 7 days. These bowls make excellent cereal bowls too and can be used for gifts for appropriate occasions or holidays. The Food Bank is thrilled with this program! The bowls are a symbol of our hungry neighbors who face empty bowls on a daily basis and as a reminder of the Food Bank's continuing efforts to fill them. If you want to stay and paint a 2nd piece, we will waive your sitting fee as our way of saying Thank You for helping us with this project.
