Hi everyone! I finally decided it was time to let you know a little bit about some new things happening at www.YouCanMakeThis.com! If you’ve been a member of our newsletter list, you know I’ve been talking about the “Big Reveal” that would be coming soon. Well, we are SO close to telling you EVERYTHING….but there’s some last minute things we are still finishing up.
In the meantime, here’s a short video to let you in on just ONE of the things we are getting ready to debut! So welcome to the YCMT Blog…where you’ll find sneak peeks, featured eBooks, and…well…you’ll see what else by watching the video. 
Reply to this post and let us know what you think! Have a great week everyone!
-Kim

This is great – well worth the wait.

This is going to be perfect for newbie crafters like me. Sometimes the e-books are a little unclear to me so this will definately give me clearer instruction. Awesome! I can’t wait!

Wow, will this be web based or on the box? Hoping its web based, we dont get a lot of stuff in australia

Kim, I am DYING to see everything! I am so excited for you and congratulations.
To try to answer the two questions, first I think Pouty Princess was the first at the twirl skirt? That’s my guess. And as for the applique patterns, that had to be you, Kim Christopherson!

WOW! Kim, I am so impressed with the site, and excited about the whole concept of creatiity, and sharing. There are many moments of inspiration while looking through the selection of ebooks. I have only been introduced to the site in the last couple of weeks; however, I have bookmarked it and find that I’m drawn to it every day. I hope to be one of your contributers, soon, with a ebook submission.
You have uncovered so much talent. Thanks so very much.

August 4, 2007 at 12:27 am
Kim, As a stay at home mother of two and a wife to my self employed husband I am constantly searching for ways to save a penny. Your site has allowed me to make my children’s clothing and although I’m saving $$ the outfits look like I spent a fortune. They are the talk of the town! It’s been such an awesome way to provide for my kids for less but in such a fun and creative way. I LOVE YCMT.com. Thanks so much!!!!
October 16, 2007 at 2:07 am
What an awesome idea! Can’t wait! YCMT TV!!!! How cool!
March 21, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I have a question. Do I have to open my own blog to chat on a blog with people here? If not how do I get to the blog? Thanks
