Very happy to see lots of designers staying... was worried for a moment there! Looking forward to see what the new year brings under the new management.
@Beth Holmes I have freebies for my newsletter subscribers every month, in my newsletter, and normally also a free with purchase when you buy something here (you can find the link to my newsletter here . Must admit though, with all the changes in the last few weeks I fell behind on providing those, but I intend to pick up my normal routine again in 2025! @Angela Toucan that is indeed a good idea of you, to mention freebies. I had no idea you could also use those.
@Beth Holmes I know life has a way of liking to make us responsible and have to put our hobbies and passions on the back burner. When I was trying to build my stash, I made my wishlist and then I started stalking the SOSN and any other sale here. I also looked at what I had and started looking for complementary pieces to build on that so that I could really start mixing things in. This allowed me to start stretching my little stash but increased by creative playing option. If you need any suggestions, just give us a holler, someone will come running and help!!! I do recommend checking out all the designers and subscribing to their newsletters as you never know when they may slide some goodies right into that inbox for you. Plus, they are always so full of creative inspiration it helps you view your current stash differently.
I'm a total Lilpad luver, but have been missing in action for awhile. And... I will admit, I freaked when I read what was going on. But, I've always felt that change is a good thing. Thus, I look forward to all that 2025 will bring to the Lilypad and all of us!
I got so busy that I lost track of what was going on here. So excited to see the changes coming and the wonderful designers who are staying. The challenges here are fantastic so I hope to see most of them coming back. I think we should start off with a Love Our Designers event with sales. It would give us a chance to get reacquainted with who is here and their stores.
