WeAre Just Getting Started!

As Jerrol’s approaches our 76th anniversary on June 21st, 2023 there is a new chapter beginning. Amy McClelland, my niece, has joined our Team as Frontline Team Leader. She comes to us from Bright Side Bookshop (www.brightsidebookshop.com) in Flagstaff Arizona where she was their store manager for the past five years. Amy brings to us a desire to help people, a love of reading and sharing books, and is a burst of sunshine. Best of all she seems willing to put up with me for now anyway.

Amy, my daughter Jordan, wife Michelle and I have spent the past 16 months discussing and creating a plan for Amy’s arrival. Part of that process was to uncover our Family Mission Statement. It reads as follows-

Jerrol’s is our family’s greatest legacy. Our overarching goal is to see that Jerrol’s continues to be a viable business for the next generations to take over, should they choose and earn it. While the business may change with each new leadership team, we will look to the future while honoring the past, using our core values to guide our decisions.

Lesli asked me the other day if I'd ever made a sensory bottle. Since my answer was no...I thought I'd give it a try.

These are super fun to make and provide endless entertainment for all.

Here's what you need:

Plastic or glass bottle

Goo gone (to get any sticky label off)

Oil ( vegetable or baby)

Glitter and sparkles

Food coloring

Water

Super glue

1. Decide if you want glass or plastic for your bottle. And peel the label off. Goo gone gets any leftover label off but be careful cuz it can make a plastic bottle kinda cloudy if you use too much.

2. Add oil to your bottle. Fill it about half full.

3. Add glitter and sparkles to the oil. This part is quite fun. You can also add beads or little toys too.

4. Put some food coloring in some water and add it to your oil/glitter mixture. Fill to the very top and put the lid on.

5. Play around with your bottle to see if it's to your liking. When you get it how you want it put super glue in the lid and screw if on for the last time. Wait for glue to dry and voilà...enjoy.
