Hi Reader,

It's SNOWING! It's the first measurable snowfall of the season and everything looks so pretty outside. It's the perfect day for cocoa and crafting! What's happening in your neck of the woods?

Later today (or tomorrow), I'll be sending out the tutorial and zoom link for my end of year Fun Folds workshop. This is my annual free event to say thank you for your support all year. It's not too late to get in on the fun. Just register here.

Just 8 Seats Left for Creativity in Bloom

And when they’re gone... they’re gone.

Creativity in Bloom is our semiannual in-person retreat happening March 27–28, 2026 in Winchester, VA—and this spring’s event is already 75% sold out. If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, consider this your official nudge: It’s time to walk the red carpet.

You’ll be treated to:

• A plated dinner Friday night, plus breakfast and lunch on Saturday
• Three instructor-led technique sessions with full make & takes
• Swapping in the Wild (finished cards or 3D items—no shoeboxes here)
• A swag bag valued at $150+, prize patrols, games, and surprises throughout
• Stamping Bingo—including the infamous Loser’s Bingo (IYKYK)
• Optional instructor-led classes (choose one, two, or all three)
• Optional raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three shopping sprees (currently valued at $123 each)

Need a place to stay? We’ve reserved a hotel block at the Holiday Inn Winchester SE – Historic Gateway (Front Royal Pike) for just $99/night. Call 540-667-3300 and use group code “CKD” to reserve your room.

You can pay in full or take advantage of our 3-payment plan—whatever suits your budget best.
