Happy New Year Everyone! \u00a0We hope you had a great year and we hope that 2011 is even better for you. \u00a0Have you thought about resolutions? \u00a0I have…a lot actually. \u00a0I’ve thought about them for me personally, and I’ve thought about them for our site. \u00a0 It is much easier coming up with them for the site because I know it will be more fun to keep them.<\/p>\n
One of my resolutions for the site is to come up with a better challenges, and well, I did it and it isn’t even New Years yet! \u00a0Starting tomorrow (Jan 1) we will have a new way we run our challenges! \u00a0We want to give you bigger prizes and think this will be the best way! \u00a0If you do a challenge you will get an entry to win a $5 gift certificate to the store. \u00a0If you do a challenge using 75% Ginger Scraps products you can earn another entry! \u00a0The more challenges you do, the more entries you get! \u00a0At the end of the month all of the entries will be gathered and three randomly selected participants will receive a $5 gift certificate. \u00a0How awesome is that?<\/p>\n
Another one of my resolutions is to bring you some new amazing designers to join us. \u00a0Guess what? \u00a0I did that too! \u00a0First, our very own Kathy Winters Designs<\/a> is now exclusive! \u00a0Isn’t that exciting? \u00a0I know Ginger and I were jumping up and down when we heard the news! \u00a0We are so thrilled to have her on our team and now to have her exclusive? \u00a0What a dream come true!<\/p>\n Since I don’t want to limit my resolution to just Kathy, I figured I’ll add a new designer to the team! \u00a0Please help me welcome Cari Creates<\/a> to the family!!<\/p>\n We asked her to share a little bit about herself with all of you and this is what she had to say:<\/p>\n A bit about me: I live in the woods and mountains of beautiful North Idaho with my dear hubby and our 13 year old dog and a wonderful assortment of wildlife.
