Well, Brandon found out from her doctor that she will not be able to travel to Nashville.  We're so sad she won't be going and wanted me to let everyone know she'll miss seeing you!  So, this will be an adventure and new avenue for me!  I'm excited, yet nervous at the same time.  Ya'll will be nice to me right?  So, come visit me at the Sneak Peek and Mingle the core classes!  I can't wait to meet all of you!  For more info. about CKU Nashville visit:

More News:  Our first CKC show of the year is coming up next weekend in Portland!  We have a lot in store.  The first night we'll be at Thursday Night Sketch Crop.  The next 2 days following we'll be at the Piggy Tales booth and teaching classes starting at 4:30pm.  Also, come by our booth to do a make and take and sign up for the PTA montly kit!  They are very popular and sell out quickly every month!!

Our NEW DT!

Our design team is patiently awaiting the arrival of their 3M and Piggy Tales packages.  Once they arrive we are so excited to see what they will create with our product.  In CK's March issue I spied (2) of our dt members submissions: Mou Saha and Linda Harrison ...am I missing anyone?  This just goes to show you how lucky we are to have such talent on our team..not that I'm bragging or anything!  

Also, our dt bio's and headshots are on our website if you'd like to get to know them a little better! Here's the link:    http://www.piggytales.com/show.cfm?page=designteam.html

Have a great weekend everyone!
