1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine softened
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk
Optional: light corn syrup, water or milk, or No-Color Butter Flavor

cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has

We have some new stores opening this month -- check to see if we're coming to your area.
Last week, we asked you on Facebook what wedding planning advice you needed from David Tutera -- and you responded with some excellent questions! David selected five and answered them below. Find more tips about his top-selling products, here. Thanks David! 
We asked you on Facebook what crafting advice you needed from Martha Stewart -- and you responded with some excellent questions! Martha selected three and answered them below. Find more Martha Stewart Crafts products, including the new paint line from Plaid, in our stores or on joann.com! Thank you, Martha!
We're so excited about our new stores that opened this month, especially since our Grand Opening celebrations start tomorrow -- check to see if we're coming to your area!
Deborah: I like to have yarn on display in my office when visitors arrive as it's a classy way to introduce a conversation about my 'other' passion. And it's a great way to 'store' yarn without taking up closet space -- something NONE of us in New York City will EVER have enough of!
Separate your yarn by weight or color, then label baskets to locate what you need easily!
Monday, we posted on our Facebook page: "Every year, I say I'm going to craft Christmas presents and: A) I always make sure I do. B) I craft a few things, but I always start too late to finish them all C) I can't even think about Christmas until October!" Deborah Norville shares how she gets a jump on Christmas crafting (and how you can, too!). 
The best gift ideas are the ones you can do ahead and they decide to whom they should be given. I think the cable twist scarf pattern on the label of Deborah Norville Chunky yarn is a winner. I have made it in dark masculine colors for guys and happy light colors for kids and gals. Because it is chunky yarn, it works up super fast and you can turn your yarn stash into a gift stash long before the holidays. Mittens and caps are good alternatives, but sizing can be an issue so I prefer to work up scarves. (Find more of Deborah's projects here).
