Happy Holidays!

Christmas is already here and soon a New Year! Yet it feels like it was yesterday that Marmalade Moon celebrated its 10th Anniversary! A year has passed, the Marmalade Moon has turned eleven years old. It’s been an eventful year!

I opened a shop with limited edition art prints and cards for greetings and holidays. Then the Easter Rabbit paid a visit and arranged an Easter icon egg hunt.

Next I launched Club Marmalade Moon and throughout the year released nine editions of the Marmalade Monthly accompanied by members-only desktop art and previews; limited edition avatars, art work for members’ blog or web site, icons, desktop pictures and desktop calendars.

My latest project is the magnetic life planner Life Organizer. Find out more About Life Organizer, read the The Life Organizer Blog or head right over to the Life Organizer Store to check it out!

Marmalade Moon would not be what it is without our wonderful visitors! Your feedback and support really inspire me and fuel my motivation! Thank you all for a smashing year! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
