2011 Holiday Party

Our live holiday extravaganza was a blast as usual. Of course, my new system for picking winners turned out to be a flop but we managed to get the job done. Little Mateo makes his first internet appearance and Nicole even takes a moment to say hi. Of course I can’t forget to mention all the awesome giveaways we had. Over 20 in fact!
The video was originally over an hour and it was recorded from a crappy live feed. I did my best to clean it up and edit it down into a digestible chunk.

    Merry Christmas Marc,

    aka ChrisF_1977 here….

    Figures you would go and call my name first right out of the gates. Oh well, sucks to be me!!

    Had to work at a last minutes notice. I hope that who ever won what I should have been there for enjoys it.

    Thanks anyways, wish I had been there.

    Merry Christmas!!

  2. Marc, Thanks for giving the membership to someone who wasn’t in the Guild already. It’s been a very good resource for me and I like seeing it introducing someone new to the Guild. LOVE the second shot of Mateo (big feet). Great perspective.

    Hey Marc and Nicole,

    Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks again for throwing that party, I finally made a live show, and it paid off since I won!!! Congratulations on the new addition to the family, Mateo is a cutey. And last, thanks for all that you do throughout the year. You rock, and you have been my inspiration in woodworking!

    Happy Holidays,

    Zac

    I work until 6 but had plans to come in late and watch most of it. Naturally murphy came into play. On my way home the lady who works our tasting room broke down so I had to stop and help her and ended up having to give her a ride home. Didn’t end up getting home until about 10 till 7. On the way home I get a call from my wife saying we were going out to eat with friends. Before I left for dinner I decided to log on just to see what the show was all about. Bang lucky me just in time to see the 50% off guild memberships. I was planning on signing up for 6 months after we returned from MO in the middle of January but instead took the coupon and signed up for a year. Talk about an impulse buy. Went from thinking I missed the whole show to a year membership in the guild. Thanks Marc for a great site. Hopefully next year I can catch the whole show live.

    I know this is kind of an outdated post, but I had to comment on how Cute your baby is. Is he trying to get a splinter out of his finger?
