Happy New Year - and watch this space!!!

Happy New Year all.  I've been missing you all, and have found life somewhat calmed down.  I'd like to re-open here to play some more with you all.

I miss posting "monday's mentions" - and letting everyone know all your triumphs!!  I miss sharing the happy news here with everyone whenever I see any of you featured somewhere.

I hope that you'll share what your children are designing with us all for our "shining stars on the seventh" feature.

Don't forget to share cool links to amazing designs, tutorials, and just good fun stuff with us for our "fave fridays" feature.

Most of all - I miss what you share about YOU.  It's nice to have prompts that inspire us to share our own stories - about our youth, our dreams, and our NOW.

I'll be looking for some design team members.  Send a link to your blog and a bit about your experience/design teams - or anything you think would be interesting to anne.pennington@xplornet.com

You are also welcome to let me know whenever you see that our members and participants have been mentioned elsewhere so we can feature them in monday's mentions, or to host a tutorial once a month on our blog.
