And please join me in wishing our Marj Marion a happy birthday! She is in the middle of packing up years of living in their home that just sold, and preparing to move into their newly purchased home after some renovations are completed. That's why you haven't seen Marj teaching classes lately . . . and she's missing the regular crafting and teaching that usually fills her day when she's not spending time with her beautiful grandchildren. Marj, we wish you everything that makes you happy in your new year!


Tomorrow is another day, so we'll see you then.
