And the No. 1 selling item of the year 2012 is…..

Lesley Riley’s TAP Transfer Artist Paper !!!

Thank you to everyone who made 2012 a wonderful year for the C&T family! From our beloved consumers for whom we create these books and products to our most wonderful authors without whom none of this would be possible!

*What’s with the *? Well, the auditor in me (former life!) can’t help but footnote this and tell you that these items include those released IN the year 2012 AND prior to the year 2012 – so keep in mind that some of these items have only been out in the world for 6 months! Also, we are counting these in terms of units sold, not dollars, so it doesn’t matter if something is priced at $1.00 or $1,000 – same same for our purposes… whew… my inner auditor feels much better.
