Blog candy and Challenge INFO

Hiya everyone,

This is the last EVER candy.......for March! Lol :))

What a month it's been!  

So many entries into the "Spring is in the air" challenge - I really hope that you will all be 

joining us again for the first of our 2 weekly challenges which starts tomorrow.  

New challenges will be posted every other sunday so the first challenge starts on sunday 1st April, then sunday 15th, sunday 29th and so on.  

The only time this may change is at christmas when we may revert to a month challenge for December to give the DT a bit of a hard earned break!

The DT will be split into 2 teams and we will alternate between which team designs for which challenge.  If any of them are less busy then they may contribute to extra challenges as and when they can.

Anyhoo, back to the lovely candy which is the fabulous

New DT!!!!

Hiya everyone,

It has been a long few weeks as the DT call was open for quite a while but I really wanted it to reach everyone so that people didn't find out about it after it closed (which often happens).

It has not been an easy decision at all as we had a MASSIVE 244 applications which I can't say was a surprise - I mean, who wouldn't want to join our fab team! Lol

Anyhoo, I have some fab news as the amount of sheer talent was so high Joanna has allowed us to take on 3 new DT members rather than just the one which takes our 2 teams to 6 members each.

Before I go onto who the lucky 3 are, I just wanted to thank EVERYBODY who applied and just wish that there was space for more.  We tried to pick people who were not only talented, but those who can bring something new or a bit different that we may not have had with our existing DT members.

Our 3 new DT members and examples of their work are:-

Alison AKA xxxtglxxx

Sandie Edwards

Edna AKA Rosietoes

I hope that you are happy with our choices and that you will join us for our 2 weekly challenges when they start on the 1st April.

Thanks for looking!
