\"Polymer“Cindy as much as I love your videos I hope you will be taking Christmas day off.”
\n~Peggy-B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well Christmas has finally arrived. And although you may be reading this post today on December 25th, thanks to the magic of Internet (and auto-posting<\/em> features), my computer is turned off and I am spending time with my family. Peggy, your kind words and consideration are so very much appreciated…<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy as much as I love your videos I hope you will be taking Christmas day off. You and your family so deserve it and I’m sure we can survive thru the withdraw just fine. Maybe instead of a lesson we could all take a few moments to tell you about our favorite lesson of the year or something funny or special that has happened to us with polymer clay. Just a moment to share and be Thankful for the Holiday Season. Just an idea. Warm thoughts for everyone.<\/span><\/span> ~Peggy-B<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a wonderful idea, Peggy! I have a feeling The Christmas Day posts will be very special!!<\/span><\/span>~Elizabeth-S<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks Elizabeth, I’m hoping we can all make the blog special for Cindy Christmas day. She has made all the other Fridays very special for us.<\/span> ~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And along this theme of sharing favorite stories and special experiences, I am including a summary of links to the Spotlight Features that have become so popular since they began back on July 12, 2009. There are a lot of them, so I’ll split them up over the next 4 days. Hopefully everyone will get a chance to read them… they are all very inspirational.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for your dedication and inspiration. I feel like this is my clay home too and an extended family. I read this blog in the morning most times wish I could skip work and stay home to Clay. I love spotlight features and the quotes form other clayers you include. These things make this more of a community rather a place where ideas are filtered through the blog owner. <\/span>~Anna-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
