begin again
Woo Hoo! Is it strange to be this excited about the new year? Although 2007 brought many wonderful things our way (a new niece first and foremost) it has been one of my most challenging years personally. I am so excited to move on and have that clean slate feeling . Creatively i am in a really good place. I am excited to begin another year of Christmas in Progress, this time really sticking with it for the WHOLE year. I look forward to keeping the etsy shop updated on a regular basis. I want to participate in a more swaps after a break last year. Here's one i recently signed up for if you are interested. I want to stay in the spirit of making handmade gifts year round instead buying from a store. 2008, it's gonna be a good one. Can't you just feel it?
ps. I am honored to have been featured on the uber cool new blog indie-pendence.

Thanks for featuring me Mary Ann!

Jen, I am 110% with you on being so excited about a new year. Last year was a really rough one for me, and I almost can't believe I made it through without going postal. Except for the part where I don't own a gun.
