Congrats to all the winners! I tip my hat to you.
Even though I didn't win anything in the contest I felt like a winner, just watching that little man do his stuff made my Grandma's heart full of cheer. Smiling
How adorable! You have beautiful children. Lovey dubby

Dave, how exciting for your family to have the opportunity to get plane rides from your Dad. I'm sure they love it!

Little Man is very lucky to have such a talented sister too. Not many younger people are interested in learning that kind of thing. Tell her to keep up the good work - she did a beautiful job. Thumbs up

Both our daughters love to knit and crochet and have made some really impressive items! I think they are talking about putting some of their stuff up on a cubits store (or maybe they already have!)

Being new to this site and all I didn't know about the videos. What a nice touch! And how nice to make it a family thing. Such a cutie too, he was really into unfolding those papers so Mommy could see them! What fun!

What a wonderful surprise! I'm having a great time choosing my favorites at Goldfinch's Semp Patch store -- I knew I'd be placing an order with her soon, but I sure didn't know I'd have such a nice gift certificate in hand!

If you haven't seen her other stores (Garden Buddies & Timber Treasures), check them out, too. When I read an article about her intarsia, I pretty promptly ordered DH a hummingbird she'd created. It was so beautifully made, there was no doubt I'd be a repeat customer, and at Christmas that year I bought a number of her pieces for friends & family. Everybody loved them! She sent Joyanna a little Garden Buddy bug, too, so I can tell you that the quality of her work in polymer clay is every bit as good as the perfection of her woodworking.

I'm REALLY looking forward to plants from her! I know she's got a great "eye," so when I was reading her plant descriptions I made a note any time I saw a phrase like "a real standout" or "one of my favorites." :-)

I just thought everybody should know that she's a remarkably talented artist in addition to being a generous & helpful ATP member. If you haven't been to her new store yet -- promise yourself a good browse there (and in her other 2 stores) soon!
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
