Well goodness, I can't believe I'm leaving in just a few days for the St. Charles market, and I haven't even gotten a blog preview posted! As some of you know, I've been madly in love with bees lately… so much so that three of my six new market releases will be honeybee-themed!
I just can't help myself!
So to start out the preview-parade (ahem), the first sampler I'll show here is one that features a verse by Isaac Watts… and who hasn't wanted a pet rooster?
Anyone?

I'll be back soon with another market preview. In the meantime, I hope you're finding lots of other previews and sneak peeks online that you're calling your shop owner about… I tend to show a few things and hold a few things back, just because I never know if people like the pre-order with their shop, or if they simply love to be surprised! I may end up just showing them all on Friday night though, just before the early-bird portion of the market opens. 🙂
I can't wait!

Ooooh, I love it! I was just talking about Market coming up with my hubby the other night. He inquired as to whether I thought I’d be placing an order. Silly man – of course I would!I told him I knew there would be at least one order because I always get something from PSS. Can’t wait to see the others!
