Hi everyone....
Today our challenge is a bitter sweet one... today, FAVE THINGS is two years old, but it is also our very last challenge.... I have decided to 'close' down shop..... This was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I can not even begin to thank EVERYONE involved in this challenge blog for the past two years, my past and present DT members, my Guest DT members, our sponsors, our players, Scrap Street Magazine for doing a feature article on us last year...everyone! :):):):):) Sadly though, life has gotten in the way. It has just become too hard for me to keep up the challenges and the demand of another blog.... I hope you all understand.....
I never dreamed that this blog would become what it has been. I have truly enjoyed seeing all that have played along.... I have been touched by everyone's take on our challenges... I only hoped that me and the DT members would inspire you all to scrap about your FAVE THINGS... and I hope that we have accomplished that.....I love you all that have played along with us for the past two years....
I am going to leave this blog live for everyone to still visit and get inspiration from though... I promise not to delete it :):):):):)
We do have one last challenge for everyone to play along with! :):):):):):):)
These are a Few of My Favorite Collections!! Do you collect paper (hehehehe! I think that is most scrappers! lol!), teddy bears, dolls, vintage goodies???? Whatever you collect, we want t see it! :):):):):):):):):)
Here is what our DT created for you! :)
From Stacy, our June GDT! :):):):) Stacy collects ALPHAS!! Love it! :):):):) Here is what Stacy says about her 'collection!' "I am an alpha junkie!!! Love those letters...any size, shape, color, style...I gotta have them!! So speaking of alpha stickers...well that is what my favorite collection is all about. Like I said I'm an alpha junkie, so I took a pic of SOME of my alphas. I couldn't show you all of them or you would think I was out of my mind!!" hehehehehe...tooooo cute Stacy! :)
And Diana is sharing her son's FAVE COLLECTION...his hats!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! Here is what Diana says about her layout: "Nate loves to collect hats. And ever since he got a hat rack for his door, he's even more aware of his collection—rarely going a day without a hat on his head." :):):):):)
From Melissa, her FAVE COLLECTION is her Scrapbook papers!! lol! I can relate to that! :):):):) I just love this Melissa! :):):):):):):)
And Jenneke didn't make a layout about her FAVE COLLECTION, instead she made a layout to say "Thank you" to me... and when I saw it, the tears started pouring down my face... because not only do I loveeeeeeee this... but I also can not thank Jenneke and the rest of my team for what they have done for ME these past two years!!
