A Merry Christmas Greeting

Merry Christmas and a spectacular 2011!

In the last week I've been musing about 2010. The year that is almost behind us was, to say the least, very eventful. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to blog but that's because so much has happened.

My trip to the Netherlands had a lot of problems with the delayed flights due to the ash cloud, but it was a great weekend. The turnout was good, aunt Es was great and the workshops were, if I listen to the commentary, great and that makes me happy. Definitely worth repeating.

The first Miss Kroeshaar election can also be considered a success. Together we can still enjoy the beautiful photos that the ladies shot. I am really incredibly proud of the candidates who contributed in no small way to the colorful slide shows of kroeshaar.com. This is the ultimate way to spread the positive message of kroeshaar in a beautiful way.

Of course there is also the webshop. After struggling for a few years to find the right products for the shop, which could also be delivered on time, I started working on my own formulas. Getting this done took more energy than I could ever have imagined, but the result was worth every KJ. All in all, the shop can move forward with very high-quality products at a good price. This also achieves one of the initial goals.

The part that you hardly see, the maintenance of the website requires almost even more work than can be seen on the front. In the past year, the site has not only undergone a facelift on the front, but also on the back, a structural foundation has now been established. The intention is that we will continue to build on this together, all of us, next year. Hopefully you are ready!

All in all I am not dissatisfied with what Kroeshaar in collaboration with you, the visitor, was able to achieve in 2010. I find it a great surprise that I am on the cover of the Port of Harlem and a nice conclusion to a very eventful year. I am looking forward to 2011 with pleasure and I hope you are too.

With this I wish you, your family and your loved ones happy holidays and a sparkling new year! See you soon!
