To all my friends in the rain...
I would just like to take a moment to wish you the very best and hope you have a joyous time with family and friends during the Holiday Season.
It truly has been a gift to meet, learn and share with you here in the rain.
Stage it forward...

PS: This is my cyber gift to my cyber friends. Take it use it, post it, print it. Do what ever you like, where ever you like. And if you want a different format or a less blurry version of this wreath... just let me know.


Craig, That's wonderful! May I post it on my other blog (along with an invite to join us here?)
Craig: Let me say his about that—WOW! Nicely done! As one who dabbles a bit with graphics, I have a clear appreciation of the effort that went into your creation. What a great way to start my Sunday morning.
Jay
Oh, Goodie! I made the Wreath!!!!
Thanks, Craig! Wonderfully fun and creative!
Craig,
This is outstanding. I know nothing about graphic design. I can only imagine the effort that went into this. This was a great morning greeting. Alas, I too would like permission to spread the joy!
Craig,
You are such a genius, who else could have done this?
'Craig The Reala Stager'
WOW. Okay this time you have outdone yourself. You really have.
I can't even imagine how much time and patience that took to do.
You are a remarkable Man. :)
Have A Blessed Sunday and thank you for sharing that with all of us.
TLW "The Lovely Wife"...I Love It When You Spread The Love...ROAR!
Neat. I found myself between two friends, Maureen and Gena.

Craig,
I am so touched; you have captured so cleverly the essence of this community. I have realized now how much you care about us. It is a nice example for all of us to follow. What a wonderful gift you have given us; I don't think I will get a better gift than this. Thank you so much for brighten my day and I wish you and your loved ones the very best!
Best wishes,
Blanca Cholewcynski
P.S I would like to make it my screen saver. Would you be so kind to email it to me?
Thansk!
Craig..You are a wizard on the computer ! Fantastic job!
I want to be in the circle of love wreath ...please, please..
Craig,
Fabulous post. I admire your creative and marketing ingenuity.
Happy Holidays
Craig, first I am thankful I made your wreath. Second, you obviously have way to much time on you hands and I will begin thinking of some hobbies for you! This should be a featured graphic on the home page of ActiveRain until Christmas comes!
Craig ~ Nice work! You certainly put in a lot of effort...as usual!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you!
kk
WOWWWWWWWW!!!! YOU STAGED US!!!! AND PUT OUR NAMES IN LIGHT!!!!!
You got the group looking good - as "REAL REIGNERS"on the RAIN!
We are NO LONGER "Lone Rainers" !
Thank you Craig! Blessings upon you & your household!
You've got to be kidding me, Craig. That is an amazing wreath! I'm printing this one out and hanging it on the stairs with the other family Christmas cards.
What are you going to do next year when there are 100,000 of us?
wow...Craig.... so creative. Wow... again. And thanks for the mention. This does bring tears to my eyes. And I even received a Christmas card from an AR memeber....
Again.... this was great. Great job Craig.
Craig,
Absolutely outstanding. I know that must have take hours to do. I am printing it up for hubby so he knows whom I am spending my time with.
Craig,
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to create this beautiful and memorable wreath. Seeing all those smiling faces definitely made my day....actually....it made my whole month!!! I am going to e-mail this to my mother....it will make her day as well!
Wishing you an abundance of love, peace, and joy during the holidays and everyday.
Craig, That is awesome.
Even though you left me out.
Maybe I'll get coal in my stocking too!
Michelle and I want to join the circle, right Michie?
Your "thought I was your cyber friend,"
Ginger
Craig-
That is so awesome! I feel honored to be in your "circle of AR love".
I have no doubt you will have a blessed and joyful Christmas, but I will wish you one anyway!
You are just a gift to all of us. I wonder if everyone reacted the same way I did...I quickly looked around the wreath to see if I was there and sure enough, there I was! Craig considers me a friend! Now that is a really joyful feeling.
Happy Holidays to all
I didn't mean to exclude anyone... but there was only so much space and sooooo many of you. I swapped the pix of me out with pixes of those of you out that I heard from...
AND I did a version of the wreath for all my Jewish buddies in the rain to. ("OY" ...one of my favorite words.)
Again... if you want a larger version of any of these... let me know.
Me
OK I have Craig's new' Oy to the Rain version on my Columbus Best Blog now too.... in the comments to the first version, 'Joy to the Rain.'
I have to ask if anyone else read this sentence wrong and started looking at the "Oy to the Rain" wreath and thinking these were the Jewish Active Rain members? I thought... "how does Craig know?" "did Craig ask?" I looked at a number of the pictures before I went back to reread the sentence.... Duh!
"AND I did a version of the wreath for all my Jewish buddies in the rain to. ("OY" ...one of my favorite words.)"
Inclusive... I think I read "of" rather than "for" as Craig wrote it. Gotta sloooooow down and read better.
Craig,
You are too much. That's awesome.
I'm afraid to ask you how much time it took to create this masterpiece
and I'm the last person you probably want to admit it, too, so nevermind.
So, I'll just send my personal holiday wishes to you and yours and everyone on
AR,too!!!
Craig
What a truly amazing wreath, a circle of friends. Thanks for including me, I felt honored. You are something else with the graphics on the computer. Something I truly envy. Have a blessed Christmas and to all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year

I just looked at this again... that is sick, how the HECK did you do that?? Even the little circles have green around them...tooooo much!
Phyllis pafumi
IMHO, the only good santa is a...
Mauhahaha (Evil Elfin Laugh)!
Craig, once again you have outdone yourself!
I wish you and yours the Happiest of Holidays and a Joy-Filled, Healthy and Prosperous 2007! Thank you for giving us the gift of 'you' here on AR...you are so supportive of us all and always have a kind word or helpful suggestion. You are also beyond generous with sharing all that you know.
As 'Cousin Eddie' would say, "Craig, you are the gift that keeps on giving"!
Craig: This is a spectacular post, if I could find a “10” rating instead of an inadequate “5” you’d have it, but alas a 5 must suffice. The Codgers asked me if I would decorate our café with a couple of your wreaths—I’ll see if my photoshop skills are up to the task.
“Santa” hit my blog & Kristal’s blog as well (SHE kinda sucked up to that old goat—I got a small pile of coal on my back porch!) I wonder who else he (if that’s his real name) paid a visit to. Let me know if you get a pot of gold.

Craig
Thank you so much for including me on your absolutely fantastic, creative, and inspiring tribute wreath. It is beautiful...really really beautiful!
Allison
Craig - that is just astonishing... the amount of time it must've taken you to do that! I didn't see it until now because I was away for a few days.
A thing of beauty is what it is. Thank you for doing that and for being a wonderful part of this community!
Craig, outstanding indeed. How you managed to leave out ALL of the Title people , I'll never know :^)
Really dude, the wreath is amazing.
Hey Craig,
Thanks for setting up this great site and forum. It's nice to have a space to go to talk about the Staging business and work together to spread the word about Staging.
Jana Wulffleff
Thanks for surrounding me with such special people including Teri, 2 Karens, and 2 Lindas. We are in the Southeast corner. Oy what a fantastic accomplishment. And by all the comments, it is greatly appreciated.

Don't know how I missed this but all I can say is this must have been quite the undertaking. Great job.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Jay
Craig,
Although I have been a member since June, only in the last few days have I spent any time on my Rain site.
I have to to tell you that you are one the reasons Active Rain is doing so well. I enjoy your rants and the comments you generate.
Looking forward to more of you and both AR in 2007.
Have a Blessed Day,
John Occhi, Hemet Realtor
I have not idea how I missed this post - but WOW!!! You are truly an artist with Photoshop Craig - when I grow up I want to be just like you.
Thank you and hope you are having an incredible holiday season as well and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
