    Laura and I took a stroll down nostalgia lane and unearthed this bit of personal and professional ephemera from the very first open Polly call in summer 2009. Wherein we both joined the Lilypad family as Pollys. You’ll recognize some other familiars here too. :beat

    10 years...it doesn’t seem possible. Thanks for the memories.

    Grateful for this place and the people who live here more than I can ever express.

    Thats so neat to see!!! I have loved TLP and have been in awe of the Pollywog’s talent from the very beginning!

    I remember some of the first things Gs I bought were stitches from a girl named Nalia or Nadia? Anyone know who I am talking about? She did piles of elements with messy stitching.

    That's so neat to see. I'd love to see a layout of every Polly announcement. I wonder if anyone has all of them. Thanks for sharing that awesome piece of TLP history, Sara!

    @scarletsierra Thankyou for sharing this memory with us. I wonder how many of those in the team back then are still doing digital scrapbooking.

    I finally broke down and removed Natalie's elements from my current stash during my last scrap product clean up about 6 months ago. Hardest thing I've ever done. I loved her stuff!!
