Happy New Years 2010

Happy New Years to All,

I hope your Christmas was merry and bright and that you all have a wonderful New Year.

I am going into the New Year with a new attitude, I have been thinking how my last year has been which was a bit difficult as some of you know, and it actually started off that way and now that is all behind me all I can think about is how fortunate I am to be where I am now and have the family and friends that have supported me through the rough times and are still here now to revel in the good times.
I am working diligently on getting the downstairs finished so I can move the shop down there. We will have much more space and a great work area. I am not pushing too hard but do alittle something each day and it will get done. Hopefully by the end of January but if not it won't be long after.

I am going to book my classes whether they will be upstairs or down will be decided at the time but the dates are booked.
