FAVORITES for the week ending January 31, 2016

tessaduck · 01-30-2016, 06:14 PM

Hi, all!

Where does the time go? It seems to fly! January is nearly over. Seems like we just finished the Best of 2015 thread, and now we�re ready to flip the calendar to February.

Yes, well-- I�m getting a bit winter-weary, and ready to think spring. The crocus and daffodils are beginning to sprout, and scs has a hostess call out for the spring virtual stamp night. Theme: Here comes the sun. I�ve already submitted an idea for a challenge, and (no surprise here) it�s math. Happy math! Don�t run away! Anyway... Hostessing a challenge is great fun, with chat and sneak peeks at others� challenges. Try it. You just might like it.

I�ve said it before. I love, love, love this favorites thread. It�s an awesome vehicle for encouraging fellow crafters and sharing the best, cleverest, most beautiful ideas. I�m always inspired by the projects that are linked here. I totally appreciate everyone who participates to post their favorites lists, and especially the notification team. We generously volunteer our time on Sundays (and sometimes into Mondays!) to send out happy mail.

Here�s a couple of the tricks I use to make the task a bit easier: I make sure my links are live. Before I click on submit, I go to advanced, click on preview, and edit any wonky links. I double space my list and color the username in red. I try very hard to have my list posted on Sunday.

Even then, the team will goof up occasionally. It pains me to think that, of the thousands of notifications I�ve done, I�m sure to have missed some, muffed some, and who knows what else!? I have to grant myself some grace, ask forgiveness, and respectfully request that when you discover a mistake, help us turn it into a lesson. Help us fix things. PM us -- me, specifically, if it�s my mistake, or if it�s something the team leader (That�s me...) needs to address -- and keep on posting your faves.

Enough already.

Here are some of my favorites from last week:

Loll's Smooshing by Anne Ryan
