Happy New Year to all my Goodies peeps! I hope it will be a good one for you and yours... Everyone who believes in me and my stuff made 2011 a great year for Goodies Unlimited! Thank you so much!

There are not enough thank you's in the world for all the lovely notes and everyone's extreme patience during the past month. We are doing well as a family - Dad will be missed heartily, but he lived a long and wonderful life, and I'm sure he had no regrets.

I should be completely caught up on shipping by the end of this first week of January, and again, thanks! We shall then resume our not-too-organized production and shipping schedule... LOL (Seriously, one of my goals for the coming year is to be a bit more work-organized - I think after 15 years of chaos, this might be a good idea...)

OK - there is the New Winter/Spring Schedule on the appropriate page, but some things you need to know NOW -

Goodies will NOT be at the OKC Winter Quilt Show this month. I am still hoping to find a place to put some EBalm and Etomic in a booth there - I'll keep you posted. If you are a Quilt Show Peep, and need Goodies, feel free to call me (405-359-7375) and I'll do a deal for you.

OK - the REASON I won't be at the Quilt Show this year is that we are taking Dear Hubby(tm)'s Mom on a cruise! She's never had the opportunity to do anything like this, so we are making it happen. Therefore Goodies will be closed for vacation from Friday, Jan 13, thru Wednesday, Jan 25. Pass the rum punch, please...

Also, Kansas peeps - The Wichita Garden Show is no more. A local group is doing something smaller, but as they want to keep it to local vendors, I haven't been invited. I will miss that show - always a spring inspiration with the NICEST people!

FINALLY, I need input from you, my people. I actually have room for a new soap or two in the line-up, and I'd like to know what YOU want! Email me (goodiesunlimited@aol.com) your ideas for a new Goodies soap flavor, by Jan 31, 2012, and I will debut the winner(s) at An Affair of the Heart in February! The winner(s) will also receive a nice Gift Set featuring their winning flavor! (Just so you know, I am allergic to Patchouli, so don't even go there... LOL)

All my hugs, Aubrey
Rest In Peace, Dad (2/10/1931 - 12/18/2011)
