Caroline - Creative Force behind Maya Road shares some Christmas Ideas

.
This is the time to reflect on the year that has passed and be grateful. Of the many, many things I am grateful for this year are {this is an exhaustive list ... so, I've taking the top 5 off my head}:

1. having started Scrap-n-Crop.com
   
2. making the decision to donate a specially designed and manufactured food processor to a SAHM with a special kid rather than buying some oxygen tanks for a local hospital
3. having two additional wonderful volunteers in Scrap-n-Crop.com: Datin Catherine Lai and Natalia Buntar
4. my daughter, Becks, has made it through 17 months without any untoward events in her life
5. my special child, Bryant, has zero hospital admissions this year!!! {let's not jinx it, a few more days to go}
   

A bit on 1.

I'll say we have come a VERY long way today and some key women and manufacturers sticks out in my mind; the ones that were with us from the very start where minimum orders were crazy and one had to have an actual physical store front to purchase. That was a nightmare. We couldn't and didn't basically. But some made very SPECIAL provisions for us ~ I can't be more thankful ~ and many of which have remained to be a supporter of Scrap-n-Crop.com in many, many ways.

Come 2009, we will be hosting more exciting "dos" with these selected manufacturers especially for all the loyal supporters of Scrap-n-Crop.com. So be sure to stay tuned for more updates in 2009.

As for now, I would like to thank Caroline, the Creative Force and co-founder of Maya Road, who is constantly there (despite her crazy schedule) to support me, as a buyer, scrapbooker, mother, wife, sister and daughter. I also thank you, Caroline, for prompting me on the many wonderful new things that happens in Maya Road and for giving us republishing rights to your creatives. So, with the latter, I am sharing some Holiday tips she has using the giant Bottlecaps Maya Road carries and Glossy Accents.

Enjoy! + Happy Holidays
