The Best Gifts Are Tied With Heartstrings

I'm back in California and have last minute excitement to report! A limited number of something completely new, our first Christmas collectible for Lenox, has just made it into our warehouse. If you're interested, check out our WEB SITE and I positively hate to say this, but if you like it you should sort of hurry as time is running short.

And, for your viewing enjoyment, we've put up all of the fantastically creative quilt designs that everybody did with my fabrics for our Quilt Challenge in September, just click HERE. You can find those photos any time at www.susanbranch.com, click on "The Real Me" and then on "Photo Albums."

I wish this email could come with the fragrance of cinnamon and pine and cookies baking, maybe just a little blow of cold wind and a sprinkle of snowflakes to land on your eyelash, cute people singing in your front yard, candlelight and Christmas lights, and Peace on Earth, but since they haven't discovered how to send stuff like that in an email (yet), what I can do is send my best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy 2008. And a recipe for hot chocolate that I really wish I was there to drink with you! (clink!) Here's to us!
