Hope you all had a happy Christmas and we wish you a happy New Year!
2008 was a momentous year—our 25th anniversary! We’ve done a lot of reminiscing around the lunch table on how things have changed in our industry over the years. I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and and see what my coworkers looked like in 1983. Enjoy!
A lot of talk has been circulating online about the CPSIA and the heavy restrictions that will be placed on toymakers and manufacturers of children’s products. Unless changes are made to this legislation, a whole lot of small companies and crafters will be forced to go out of business. I encourage you to spend a few minutes to become familiar with this legislation and contact your state representatives. Thank you!
Congratulations to Tim and Jen on the birth of their adorable little girl, Addison May. She was born Monday, November 17, weighing in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces. What a cutie!
You may have noticed a new addition to the sidebar. Yup, we’ve started a flickr account! We’ll be posting photos from our Designer Program, trade shows, books, as well as VIDEO.
For the past few days, those in Production and Editorial has been popping their heads in Tim’s cube to see if he’s still there. Everytime his phone rings, we hold our breaths. Could it be time yet!?
You may remember that a few weeks ago, we held a baby shower for Mr. Awesome Production Coordinator, Tim Manibusan and his wifey Jen. Well, today is baby Addison’s due date, and we’re all very excited (though not nearly as much as Tim, who’s been at the edge of his seat all day long).
We’re very exuberant here at C&T and we love babies, so now doubt there will be hooting and hollering when news comes that Addison is here!
We had our quarterly company meeting yesterday and figured it was the perfect opportunity to take a group photo. Here we are in front of our office building.
We all know that no group photo session is complete without a silly picture. Jazz hands, everybody!
Well, it’s Day Five since the blog launched, and we’re having a blast! It’s such a pleasure to join our authors and designers in sharing ideas and inspiration over The Internets. Thanks so much to Ann Butler, Blue Moon River and Crafty Moments for the shout-outs!
Like Amy said, we have big plans for our blog. Stay tuned for more projects and posts from our staff, authors, and designers, as well as peeks at the fun things that are happening around the office.
C&T Publishing is a group of quilters and crafters dedicated to publishing products tailored to our audience. This blog is where we break away from book schedules and marketing campaigns to focus on what drives us to be creative and how this creativity manifests itself in our every day lives.
