    I just recently subscribed to your blog via email and I have watched many of your videos. My Cricut dvd has shipped, I have downloaded and printed out the cutting guide and it is out in my craft building. (I too have a seperate building where I craft, but it is on the same property about 200 feet from my house.)

    When you do good for others it always comes back to you. You have done so much with this blog to help so many you deserve the new building.

    So CONGRATULATIONS!, and may we be hearing from you and seeing you for years to come.

    Wow you amaze me, what with having the conference moving onto the new building, being a mom and wife and oh I just know there is so much more… you still have time to do the videos!!! I have a feeling that the studio will be all done and looking snazzy in no time at all… it is SO VERY exciting!
    Thank you so much for all you do!
