Happy 2026

 Welcome to a new year.  2025 was very busy for me.  October was our 2 years in Raleigh, when we left Colorado Springs we had to go back to our home in Raleigh and live in it for 2 of the last 5 years we owned it.  We've owned it since 1999. So we put the house on market in October and it sold in 36 days.  I had to cancel my November classes and December classes.  We started building our forever retirement home and it should be done sometime in the late summer/fall. Meanwhile we are in a rental home. I don't know a lot of people or businesses to have a classroom in a brewery like I did in Colorado Springs and Raleigh so I will start out in my house. My girls in Raleigh loved coming to my house versus the brewery so I will do this again.  Starting over is scary, I know how to do it.  I started in Raleigh-Colorado Springs-Raleigh and now Beverly Hills, Florida.  Where in the world is Beverly Hills, you ask? it is on the west coast of Florida about an hour and half north of Tampa.  I can be on the westside of Ocala in 30 minutes.  Crystal River 10 minutes or less. 

I started 2026 with a cold.  There is an ick going around and it found me :). 

Currently, I am working on February classes. I will have my monthly class 3 cards for $18.00 and I am going to have a valentines paper craft box class for $30.00 we will make 4 valentines boxes with goodies inside.  Once I have that set in stone I will post.  In all my classes I supply everything you need all the way down to the glue you need.  It's fun and light.  

Stampin Up! just dropped the January to June Mini Catalog, if you would like one mailed to you please email me at lizhaddon1@gmail.com and request one for free! you can also view the mini catalog and the main/annual catalog to the right of this message in the sidebars.

Onward and Upward!

Happy 2026!
