Hi Everyone,
Welcome to 2017
Let's start with a bit of housekeeping.....
2016 was a great year, however,
we are saying "good-bye"
to one of our designers, Vicki Robertson.
Vicki was with us for 2 1/2 years and was a super
talented contributor, however, she wants to
have more family time so she has
stepped down. She will be missed.
With the beginning of the new year
we are welcoming Marty Fishman to the team.
(Don't forget to give her some love)
Here is a little bit about Marty -
Married 34 years with a son, Ben, and daughter, Erica,
no grandchildren. My husband, Mark, and I are both retired.
I'm an animal lover and have had many pets during my lifetime
and marriage, primarily cats. Currently "Mom" to 13-year old
Cairn Terrier, Brody, who is diabetic and completely blind,
and a recent rescue cat, Luda, who's about 5. I have done
various crafts over the years since I was young, including
knitting, cross stitching, scrapbooking and now I love
card-making. The funny thing is when I was into scrapbooking,
I said I'd never make a card!! Never say never...
one more little bit of housekeeping info.
I am excited to announce that in 2017
all of our monthly challenges have sponsors. (Yahoo!!!)
Please visit and support our fabulous sponsors with some
shopping, which helps them as well.
OK lets get back to our regularly scheduled program (LOL)
