It's the start of November and the Joyful Expressions' store has new products and new sales.

This week's first new release is the Native Celebration Bits N Pieces packs. You can grab each pack for just $1.00 a piece through November 7th!

Native Celebration celebrates the first Thanksgiving meal but the individual packs can also double as American Indian scrapbooking supplies to scrap memories of visits to pow-wows, field trips to museums or historic sites, Indian Guides or Indian Princesses events, or Disney visits with Pocahontas.
