Texana Designs Team Picture

We were able to all meet in one place despite freezing weather and icy roads.  DTM Libby Hickson, who lives in Georgia was in Texas for just a short period of time and we were all thrilled to be able to spend time with her in person.  Usually she joins us via Google Hangouts and my webcam and TV connection.

When "Icepocolypse 2014" hit Central TX and everything began to shut down we were disappointed that we might not be able to make it happen.  But we fooled Mother Nature.  We were determined!  And we were all in one place at one time.

We did some great brainstorming and have some surprises in store or out loyal followers/customers for 2014.  Stay tuned in the next month to see what we come up with.  :)

In the meantime visit us on FACEBOOK to keep up to date with our news and samples.
