Where has the year gone? Valentine's Day, Easter, and Spring are just around the corner. Soon I will be putting away the winter colors and bringing out the spring ones. Custom made requests are always welcome. Just send me an email at ([log in to unmask]). Meanwhile, I am working on some new and exciting projects in "my spare time". The Ferret Giving Tree was a great success this year. Thanks to all that participated in making a ferrets Christmas just a bit brighter. Profits for sales November and December sales will be split between the shelters I support. Starting in 2009, GCFA (Chicago) will be included in the shelter list. Don't forget about the Pick-A-Shelter program. If you desire a shelter other than the ones named don't hesitate to let me know. If it is not listed on my website please send me contact information for the shelter so I can make arrangements with them for delivery of donations.
