Merry Christmas from Scrapbook Generation's Debbie Sanders, Karin Vacha, Stacey Atchley, and Allison Davis! Hope your celebration at this wonderful time of year is everything you've dreamed of. I know that most of you are just like us, tired and overbooked from scurrying around to buy, bake, decorate, wrap, and cook for the special people in your life. In the midst of all the craziness, I'm going to try and slow down and just enjoy my family and remember why we celebrate December 25. Hope you can do the same!

Update on Scrap-a-Palooza: We've expanded our seating capabilities, and we'll now be taking 225 people for the January 16 mega-crop! As of this morning, over 150 of those seats are taken, and the radio advertising starts on two of the stations today and the rest of the stations on Dec. 30. Once that begins, the remaining spots go quickly. Don't forget that Scrapbook Generation does not collect or receive the registration money; that goes to Midwest Family Broadcasting. You can register online at star1051.fm.

Update on our DVD: It now has a title, but the release date has been pushed back to mid-January. The director/producer will be re-shooting one of the class segments the week after Christmas. Allison's teaching was great, but after the first segment, the guys switched from two cameras to three, and so now the first part needs to be redone so that everything matches and coordinates. And why we thought we could juggle the biggest project of our lives with the craziness that is Christmas is beyond me! We all decided that a polished product is much more important than having things done by the end of December. More details as I know them!
