Challenge Spotlight – Recipe Challenge

Good day all! Did you miss me? Did you even know I was gone? 🙂 I was super sad to miss doing last week’s Challenge Spotlight. I wish I could say some super fun Valentine plans got in the way but even Valentine’s Day itself was postponed due to sickness. Yup my some sort of evil throat bacteria of doom infected my  household. Rendering me as mother virtually useless and my poor sick baby sleepless. We are now on the mend and though my house still feels like a giant bacteria colony on a petri dish, I think this germ is finally moving out. So today we are celebrating Valentine’s day with all the fun heartshaped food and heart games we can stand! Happy Valentine’s Day all!

Now for those who may possibly have missed me due to the fact that they are waiting on a prize! Let’s see who gets it. <3 <3 <3 (those are hearts in case you didn’t know. 🙂 ) Melinda N aka waterlily_mc with her beautiful Window LO

Here’s what Melinda will be recieving:

Now since we are, or for the rest of you have celebrated Valentine’s Day this weeks Challenge spotlight comes from  ShanMarie and it’s her Recipe Challenge!

New GingerBread Lady 2/16

I’m sorry to interrupt your typical Wednesday but I have some very exciting news.  You should really sit down to hear this.  Are you sitting down?  Ok, I’ll wait.  I’ll sing while you find a chair – “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor.  Would you be mine?  Could you be mine?  Won’t you be my neighbor?”  Sorry, I got a little carried away.  I take it you are sitting now.  Great!  Now for my big news.

We have a new designer joining us!  Wait until I tell you who it is!  I’m still in shock.  I’m mean, oh, you want me to just get on with it and tell you who it is?  Ok!

It……

is…..

ELLIE LASH!!

Can you believe it?  Ellie Lash is joining the Ginger Scraps Family!!

We asked Ellie to tell us a little about herself.  This is what she had to say:

Hi, everyone! My name is Ellie Lash. I’m a 36 year old SAHM mom to four-year-old twin boys, Adam and Luke. I’ve been married to my super sweet husband for almost 10 years. We live in sunny, hot Arizona, and while I don’t love the heat I do love almost everything else about living here. I’ve been designing since 2007 and I can’t remember what I ever did before I started! I LOVE scrapping and designing. I’m really excited about joining the wonderful team here at Ginger Scraps and can’t wait to dive in and get involved in the community!

One thing that we like to encourage here at Ginger Scraps is the stalking of our designers.  Here are the ways you can stalk Ellie!
