Hello fellow sleuths! Happy New Year! I've got lots of stuff in store for 2023 and I'm really hoping you can come along for the ride as we venture into this next rotation around the sun.

First, I want to say thank you once again for sticking with me! December was a really lackluster month for the channel, but I've got plans for this year that I'm hoping to follow through with! Here's a list of things I'm hoping to get done this year:

• More Nancy Drew livestreams!
• New merchandise (coming VERY soon)!
• More collaborations!
• Collection video!
• And more!

Admittedly, some of these might take longer than others and with another very busy year ahead of me, I'm going to try and get as much done as possible in the earlier part of the year and spread some stuff out throughout 2023.

As I mentioned in the last blog post, I've got very big plans for a non-ND project this year. For those that know me well enough, I've been a LEGO fan longer than a Nancy Drew fan. I've wanted to work for LEGO for several years and I'm hoping this next project will be a great step towards that goal. So, starting this month, I'm creating a new YouTube channel that I'm actually going to be working hard at creating content for. I want to make a living off of my favorite hobby and I think this is the perfect step in that direction. I've also got 7+ years of experience on YouTube and nearly 20 years of experience building with LEGO. You can definitely expect some LEGO/Nancy Drew crossovers in the future! I've got some things planned, so stay tuned!

I've got almost a full week off before returning to work this year, so I'm going to be working hard this week on a lot of stuff. I'm super excited that we're in a brand new year and I feel like I've got so much control over my plans. However, life always finds a way, so hopefully life won't become an obstacle too often.

Anyways, the sale for all my old merch listings has ended and all the old designs have been taken down. It's time for a new set of merch that I'm super excited to unveil! I've got over 20 designs ready to go with more on the way. Keep in mind that not all 20 designs will launch right away and not all designs will last forever. Some designs will be limited runs that I'm really excited about.

So yeah! Stay tuned because I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year! Thank you again for hanging out, I'll see you soon!

That about wraps up today's post, until next time detectives!
