Today I woke up another year older… yep 43 years old today. My inbox is full of wonderful birthday wishes from family, and friends from all over the world. I cannot thank you enough. My Maya Road family certainly surprised me. I was not expecting this wonderful surprise at all. Andrea, Jessica, Sandy, Wendy, Katie and Caroline you truly made me feel so special and I thank you.

Today is also a very big Maya Road sneak peek day. Here is their WINTER CATALOG. Oh my are you going to love all the new products. Some just make me jump for joy!!! Tomorrow is finally the day to start the project sneak peeks. I cannot WAIT. You are going to love all the eye candy.

Just wanted to wish my dear Dad a.k.a Santa a very Happy Birthday.

Love you Dad!

And since he is such a giving kinda guy I thought it would be fun to give a Maya Road RAK in honor of his special day. This RAK will have new release products included. Which means you will be one of the first to have them. So, please leave a comment wishing my Dad a happy birthday and I will have him randomly pick a winner.

Good luck!

Would you like to have your Maya Road project featured at the CHA-W show? If so, you want to read about this special open call Maya Road is having. I am so excited and know the 15 winners will be over the moon excited.

I still do not have any projects I can show you just yet and it is killing me! It will be well worth the wait because Caroline and Deb have really put together some incredible new products for CHA-W and if you keep checking their blogs you just might be the first to see some early sneak peeks. You are all going to be blown away.

If you are not signed up for their Consumer Newsletter I suggest you do so now. This way you can keep updated with all the new happenings going on at Maya Road.

of wonderful new Maya Road products are coming in tomorrow. I’m sure it will not take much guessing to figure out where I will be tomorrow! It is like Christmas when these boxes arrive. I love seeing all the new products Deb and Caroline create. I thought CHA-S was an incredible release but man I think they have topped that one because CHA-W is out of this world. I cannot wait for you to see all the new products.

Here is a portion of my newest Winter Bella E-Zine project. This is the first time I have ever just scrapped or created something for me. Usually I am working on a layout or project for a design team or a specific call. It is so nice to play late at night when all is quiet. I can’t wait to work on another project tonight. But today it is all pre-CHA-W. My check list keeps getting bigger rather than smaller.

Here are a few close up photos of my second Winter Bella project. I love this project so much. Right now I am working on project number 3… so cute!

Today I was over helping Caroline sort new product for the design team and let me just say… my heart was racing when I saw the bags of new product. I love, love, love and want, want, want every single item they will be releasing at CHA-W. You best run… not walk to their booth opening day which by the way is booth #1987.
