KOC members, get excited! The 2015 Keepsake Ornament Club Collectors Edition Dream Book will start shipping on Monday. That is in only SIX DAYS!

The cover of the KOC Dream Book showcases the 16th in the Toymaker Santa series. By Ken Crow. Which features Santa wearing a baseball cap while riding on a toy tractor.

If you look closely, Toymaker Santa’s hat has a crow on it. When Ken Crow was a little boy, he remembers watching his grandpa write letters on special stationery. Every letter had an image of a crow in a side view silhouette. Ken has always identified with that image and even takes a little crow figurine with him on trips and signing events.

UPDATE: (4.8.15) Keep an eye on your mailbox as the 2015 Keepsake Ornament Club Collectors Edition Dream Book has started to ship and has repordly been received by a few lucky KOC members.
