Thank you all for attending the New Years Eve Scrap Bash!  I had a blast and it looked like all of you did as well. As always it was a great kit off to the New Year!

For those of you who did not join us, I want to take a moment to thank you all for you support and caring this past year….I means more to you than you can ever know! I love sharing with all of you and I look forward to great friends and fun projects in the coming year. I truly think that 2014 is going to be a wonderful year! My hope for all of you is a happy, healthy, and CRAFTY New Year!

I have posted the list of PRIZE Winners in the upper right tab. You will be receiving an email in the next day or so if I need your shipping info. For those who won Gift Certificates to my website, I will email you directions on how to redeem them.

We have a Ustream class this coming Friday to finish off the Maple Street Dress Shop. I will then be on a short hiatus from streaming from my studio while Joy and I attend CHA (the Craft and Hobby Association trade show). We are going to attempt to stream from Anaheim. Cross your fingers and watch the blog for more info! We wll be doing a CHA recap show on Wednesday, Jan 15th to review what we have seen….and most likely will have a few more things to give away.

During the next week, I will be getting out any remaining Maple street kits as well as any other outstanding kits that need to be shipped. I have help coming in to get the prizes (both current and a few of the past ones out the door before I leave. I am going to be up to my eyeballs…or breaking out the snorkel….while i work to finish up projects that will be in booths at CHA. Watch my blog on Jan 11th for a peak at what I have been up to this week.

Most of the projects I am working on will be upcoming Ustream projects. One of the first up will be the Winter Fairy House. I can’t show you the project till CHA but I am putting the kits up for Reservation (they are up here now). The Ustream class starts early in February and I will need to be shipping the kits not long after I return from California….so I need to know how many of them I will need to assemble. These will be on my standard Reservation system. Purchasing a kit reservation INSURES that you will get a kit (plus you get an extra goody). A limited number of ala carte kits will be available, but they will be first come, first served basis, and when they are gone, they will be gone. I will have the pattern available for those who wish to put together their own materials. I plan to put the pattern up when the ala carte kits go up in late January. I will have a new ongoing Reservation system for the Maple Street Shoppes series that I will introduce in late January for the next shoppe in the series.

Once again, I want to wish you all a New Year filled with joy, Health, and  happiness!
