Happy New Year

Papers are Daisy D's Modern Romance


Happy New Year! It seems like we just started 2006 and here it is 2007 already. Time seems to fly by faster every year. The weather has been crazy all over the place this year, some places are getting hit harder than they have in decades and other places are enjoying an unusually mild winter. A new year means we have some changes around here, and one of the most exciting is the addition of two new design team members. We welcomed Yvonne and Sharon (scrap-mouse) recently and everyone is excited and eager to see how they contribute to the HTH team. I know they will wow us because they usually do.

Another new and exciting happening in the forums is the addition of a monthly guest design team member. By showcasing a different member’s work each month, maybe we can get to know each other a little better and get to shine a spotlight on each person’s work. Who doesn’t like to be the star of the month? Currently, we get to fawn over the illustrious talents of our very own Chucklebuket, also known as Debbee. Make a pit stop on the main site page and you can get to know a little more about Debbee and delve into her gallery of artwork. Keep watching the announcement forums each month so see who we put in the hot seat. Who knows who might be next? It could be you. Now who needs to win the lottery when you can be guest designer of the month?

Now for the really exciting news. Cyber Crop alert! Clear your calendars the weekend of January 19-21, gals. Send the family away, turn off the phones, lock the door and pull down the shades. Don’t let anyone know you’re home because you need to be glued to your screen at HTH. There will be games, prizes, and oh so delicious scrapping challenges to get your creative juices flowing and to get some pages scrapped. There is something for everyone, I guarantee it. Besides, it’s going to be cold and snowing out. There isn’t a better thing to do with a weekend like that except for snow. Did I mention prizes? Are you ready for the crop of the year? Ha. Go check on your adhesives. Got glue? Got tape? How about cardstock? Primas? Brads? I bet you need to get that stash of yours ready for the big, blowout bonanza. This is the time (right now, go on) to head over to the store to get everything you need for the big weekend. While you’re there, check out the new stuff. Did you stock up on Daisy D’s Romance line? I did. I might have left you a few things, but you had better get it while you can. Rhonda may or may not have put in another order. Only the powers that be know that. Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it and those papers are so lush, romantic and dreamy it makes you want to weep…or each chocolate. Or what the heck? Do both! I do know there are some really cool things coming up, including some Dream Street Papers, Fancy Pants, Bazzill Bling and Bazzill goodies. Rubons, flowers….oh, it makes me weak in the knees just thinking about it. And we haven’t even hit CHA yet. I wish my tax forms would arrive because I’m going to need some serious spending cash after CHA. You’d better beat me to the store when my returns get here because I’ll be doing some damage. I’ll see you in the forums!
