Thanks for a great year!!!

As 2011 comes to a close, I would like to Thank all of you for helping to make this a very successful year. I know it is hard to think about Easter when we just finish had Christmas and will be celebrating New Years in 4 days, but work has begun on the Easter Eggs. I hope to have a good supply in the many colors so there will be no delay in getting them shipped out to you.

I have several idea...s for new items for my shop. I didn't get them all done in time for 2011 but I am hoping to add quite a few them this coming year. As always there are plenty of pot scrubbers, dish cloths and heating pads ready to ship.

Thanks for a great 2011!!! Hope to see you in 2012!!!! Keep an eye out for upcoming craft sales. I am looking into some new ones for 2012!!!!
