DECEMBER 2023 : ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST - NEW

Hello, Crafty Peeps!
So here we are at the end of another year!   On behalf of all of us here at A Place to Start and 613 Avenue Create, I want to say thank you so much for your amazing support.  We appreciate you!

On a more personal note, I would like to thank all the designers, past and present, who have shared their creative gifts as members of our design teams!   I have been blessed to "know" some of the most creative cardmakers on this planet.  It lifts my spirit to know that through our "humble" creations, we are one of the points of light that pierce the darkness!
Hugz,
Chana Malkah Harris
Owner
