my sincere apologies....

Welcome to 2011...
I got this fabulous quote from an art buddy and I love it! So... i am making it part of my new years resolution to do some type of art every day. This seemed like a perfect quote to start off the year and fulfill that resolution....

That being said.... now here comes the apology. It has been way too long since my last post and for that... i apologize. I have good intentions but my schedule has been such that every waking moment has been devoted to work. I am getting ready for the biggest show of my life. The CHA (crafts and hobby association) is a trade show where stores go and purchase their crafty goodies from manufacturers. I have gone for over 30 years as a buyer, store owner, designer and manufacturer. This year for the FIRST time... i will be having a booth in the license and design section, trying to get my art licensed for gifts and crafts and hopefully.... Hallmark Cards! Hey... a girl can dream can't she!
That's still no excuse to neglect my favorite crafty people... my blog pals! I have alot planned for monthly challenges however... those will have to sait until after February 4th when i get back from CHA! I am planning our National Letter Writing Challenge in April, blog posts from CHA on this blog and on my new blog at www.benfranklin-crafts.com ( that one is not up and running quite yet) and a few other surprise challenges in between.
So for now... i will be posting on my daily life as i get ready for the show. Hope all of you are well and enjoying 2011!!!
