Happy New Year – 2020! It is hard to believe that it is actually 2020. When a kindergarten class was labelled as the class of 2020, it seemed like a very long time in the distance. Now 2020 is here! There is something about starting a new decade that is intimidating and yet exhilarating. A fresh page has begun. It is up to us to make it the best decade possible. My prayers for this new decade are that our society can become united in our common desires and respectful and generous with each other in our differences. So Happy New Year, Happy 2020!

Have you made New Year’s resolutions yet? Have you broken any of your resolutions yet? I have unfortunately. I have resolved to kick the sugar and carb addiction and eat a Keto lifestyle. Unfortunately, the leftover Christmas candy called my name insistently and by noon I had succumbed to that siren call. But…tomorrow is a new day and I can start again.

With my stamping business I resolve to keep in better touch with you all through my blog and social media. I really want to get to know you better, to know your likes, desires, and hopes. I’ll continue to share my creativity with you but hope to be able to include you in that creativity through online classes, classes by mail, and Facebook live presentations.

With the new year, we also have the beginning of Sale-A-Bration and a new Handmade for You mini catalog. These start on Jan 3. This means that today is the last day to purchase many of the supplies in the Holiday catalog. In particular, the bundles will no longer be available. Stampin’ Up! is trying a new strategy. Some of the items from the Holiday Catalog will be in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and can still be purchased before that catalog is live. Some other items from this year’s Holiday Catalog will be in the 2020 Holiday catalog but won’t be available until that catalog is live. The safest thing to do is not wait! If there are some items that you want from the 2019 Holiday catalog, especially the bundles, order them today! Visit my online store. The host code for January is P6KRKYMC. Please use it when you place your order to receive a small gift from me. You can also email me your order and pay through PayPal if that is more convenient for you.
