Jane and I wish you much happiness and love the next few days as you celebrate the holidays with your family and friends. From Jane in Australia to me in the United States … plus all our friends around the entire world in every country.. we are thinking about you!

And then join us to celebrate the close of 2016! I like say ‘its’ a wrap!’  Very Hollywood right?  The end of one year always brings fresh beginnings! We have a New Year’s  bonus block from the talent Scott Hansen of Blue Nickel Studio for you on Dec 31… on that day I am flying home on a red-eye.. so make a pot of coffee for me!

For the Splendid Sampler we’ll start back the Designer blocks on Thurs Jan 5.

BUT this is just the beginning…. we will start block prompts again from Block 1 when our book comes out in April 2017 and thousands of people will be starting new, or joining back in after life got away from them!

PreOrder our book NOW while it’s on sale!

ALL project details are HERE which is the block page
