Hello Crafty Critters Blog Group

This is our new home . . . . . As of right now the group is full. However if your interested in joining us, please contact one of our facilitators (mnewby or aprillower) to possibly be added.

The requirements:

1. First you must have a blog. Do you??
2. Next we ask that you post in your blog ATLEAST once a week. If you feel the crafty spirit hitting you hard feel free to post as many as you would like in a day or week. We understand "life" happens before SCS, Blogging, and Crafting so if you don't post a new blog for awhile check in with us so we know you are ok.
3. Please make sure everyone's blogs are added to your blog in a list on your sidebar. Check in with everyones blog atleast once a week. Leave them comments of encouragement!!
4. We will occasionally post card challenges for you to be a part of. We ask that everyone tries the challenge. This allows for great inspiration and allows your creative juices to flow.
5. Do you also scrapbook??? Great!! We would love to see your card and scrapbooking creations on your blog. If you alter items SHARE THEM WITH US.
6. On your blog feel free to offer blog candy, cards as gifts, techniques, etc.
7. Are you getting the drift yet?? Anything goes!! Have fun and get to know one another.

The idea behind this group is to offer great inspiration to eachother and develope some really great friendships. Offer up encouragment to each other and HAVE FUN!!!

Checking in....... heading to a three day crop in the big city this weekend.. I'm heading out at 5:30 tomorrow morning... Meg, my sister in law and I have to drive for 1.5 hours.. then catch a 1.5 hour ferry.. then another hour drive to get to the hotel. The three of us plan to scrap from the time the crop room opens until the time it closes.. so I hope to have a ton of stuff to share over the next little while.

Have a great weekend.. I'll do some blog surfing next week!

Have fun Moria!!! The travel will be worth it once you get there and start scrapin'. Enjoy!!!

Burnham1997 · 10-23-2009

Hi April! My challenge card was missed & I posted a comment on the old thread for crafty critters.

I think it happened because I posted a few other things since my challenge card was posted & mine was simply missed. It doesn't matter to me if you do another vote or not.

Just go ahead with the voting as you have it now, unless you prefer to do it differently. No problem to me either way.

traceyc0103 · 10-23-2009

I have been waiting to post this on our new 'home' since Thursday morning and it has been really hard. Since I wanted to shout it from the mountain tops.

I have been offered (and accepted, duh!) a DT position for Ildi Co. starting November 15!!!!

I am so excited to be a proud member of this awesome DT and can't wait to start creating. I went home last and sat my DH down at the computer with me and showed him all the images, the challenge blog and the blogs of the current DT members. I am sure he was slightly bored, but he was very proud.

I would like to give a big ((HUG)) to Jenny (Avery123) for extending me the invitation to join Ildi's DT. I am still full of excitment and can't wait to get going.

Burnham1997 · 10-23-2009

Congrats Tracey!! That sounds awesome! Can't wait to see some of your creations for them.

I won't know anything about the DT call I submitted for, until next week sometime. Nerve wracking waiting!!

rhoshoun · 10-23-2009

Good Morning I am here,Congrats Tracey on making DT! I can't wait to see what you design for them. All of you are very talented when it comes to coloring stamped images I need to take a class or something to catch up with you ladies. Anyway its Friday and you know what I am so happy today I have been feeling really down and I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and just joy. So I hope that I can pass that joy to all of you today !!!

cspangler · 10-23-2009

Hey Jenny and Tracy!

AnnMarie

amsmiles · 10-23-2009

Melina, Stephanie and Kelly...hope to hear from you guys soon!

AnnMarie

traceyc0103 · 10-23-2009

Hi AnnMarie - I am dancing with you!!! Woot Woot!!!!

mnewby · 10-23-2009

Tracey I'm dancing for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPY SKIPPY!! I'm on the DT also so we'll get to see eachothers faces around a lot. (that is a good thing) Sorry I missed so much fun chit chat. I put my laptop away lastnight at 9pm so DH and I could sit and watch some night time TV together. Since he is now sick we have not had much "personal" time so we thought just spending time watching tv and chit chatting would be as intimate as it would get. OH NO, was that too personal??

I'm glad everyone is finding us. I think I'm missing some girls in the main thread as far as highlighting if you find us. Did I miss you???

I had someone write to me and wanted to join our group. What do ya'all think about adding someone else?

I'm still here

I think that would be ok - then we'd be an even 14.

Avery123 · 10-23-2009

Thanks for the big hug!! I could always use one of those

We're happy to have you!!

Avery123 · 10-23-2009

I'm fine with a new member too.

traceyc0103 · 10-23-2009

I'm fine with a new member, too.

mepylant · 10-23-2009

Hey ladies!!!

I found you. Man, I feel like crud for 2 days and you up and move on me. hee! hee! I'm better now but DD is coughing her little head off. I was talking on the phone to my mom Wednesday night telling her that and my DD said "mommy my head didn't fall off"

Little ones are sooo literal!

Congrats to Tracey for the DT spot!

I'm great with adding a new member. That whole #13 creeps me out so it would "even" us out.

Going to catch up and try to check out the new challenge.
