Happy Easter-Spring everyone!  I am currently on vacation in Maui for the next 10 days so my access to internet and my computer is very limited and I apologize.  The wireless here is not what I would call very reliable and I have had quite a time getting logged on.  If you have questions that I have not answered below please email me and I will answer you as quickly as I am able.

VOTING for the EASTER-SPRING EXTRAVAGANZA CONTEST will start immediately.  We should have been able to vote thru the InLinkz system but their rules only let you vote once & you will be allowed to vote 4 times---once for each of the 4 categories.  So below are the rules for voting and how to get your votes counted!

Thank you to everyone for their participation in the contest--the response was overwhelming and we are so lucky to have so many wonderful and talented crafters in our group.  I am SO glad I don't have to vote because everyone did a fabulous job and you all get a big congrats and thank you from me, Diana and the DT's!!  So happy voting!!

Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let
you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why
but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest
thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they plainly do
not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the
whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
