May 8, 2012 Jimmy Needham & Alana Lincoln- Reality hit Jimmy Needham pretty hard as he started work on his fifth studio project Clear the Stage. This record threatened to be a disaster, even with iconic producer/songwriter Ed Cash stepping on board to lend his award-winning expertise behind the soundboard. Jimmy’s task at hand was overwhelming at best. Learn more about Jimmy at www.jimmyneedham.com.Also making a special appearance is Alana Lincoln. Alana, and her two friends Jodi and Morgan were raised in North Pole, Alaska. From the long dark winters, with temperatures reaching 60 below, to the beautiful (short) summers where the sun never sets, the girls had ample time to sing for God. Their goal was to do this in a big way and with their latest song/video release of Hallelujah they have done just that! The girls lead worship at their Christian School, in their churches, and on multiple mission trips. Their polished harmonies and blend are sure to hit a beautiful chord in your soul! Check out their new song at http://www.godvine.com/Three-Girls-Sing-a-BEAUTIFUL-Version-of-Hallelujah-Wow-1426.html and help push their views into the millions!

May 1, 2012 Roxanne Packham- Roxanne often found herself learning this legacy around the family table. All of these precious life lessons, encouragement, laughter, and fun were exchanged at the always beautifully set family table. Privileged? Yes, but not in the way you would automatically think. Roxanne feels this privilege was the gift of listening to these hard-working men, and women. You know the quote: “Behind every great man stands a great woman!” This is our heritage and where she gets her inspiration… wanting to set the stage for others to pass their heritage down through the generations. Her mission is to use design to help other families set the stage to instill their family legacies around the table, be it farmhouse, dining or picnic table…this is Roxanne’s dream.
