Announcing the New DT Member :-)

Hi all :-) We apologise for the delay in announcing the decision of a new team member, but it really was a very difficult task. You are all such a talented bunch and to pick just one of you was THE most difficult thing we have ever done.
We know that many of you will be disappointed and we are sorry for that ,,, we really do wish we could have EVERYONE on the team ,, but that would bancrupt the company !!! :-)

so without further ado we would like to welcome ,,,,,

MELISSA BOVE aka Creating from the Heart to the team :-)

Congratulations Melissa :-) We are all really looking forward to working with you :-) xx

luv
Lols, the DT, Heidi, Steph, Sarah and all the girls behind the scenes at Simon Says Stamp :-) x x x

PLEASE CHECK YOUR SETTINGS AND TURN OFF WORD VERIFICATION. Many of you still have the word verification turned on and do not realise it. Instructions on how to do this are in the sidebar at the top of the blog. The DT may not leave coments on blogs with the Word Verification activated as this is very time consuming ,,,, there is more to life than messing about typing in silly letters. So please be considerate to us and all the other bloggers who come to visit you :-)

Now its your turn to get your glue and papers out and join in !! :-)
Happy Crafting :-)
