WOW - congratulations, everyone! And a special shout-out to @scrappyjedi - I got to guest CT with her last month, and she absolutely ROCKS - how lucky for us (and TLP) that she's part of the permanent team!
I am so thrilled and excited! Congrats to those selected and to everyone else that applied! TLP really is an awesome place to be with such a loving community and a host of really talented people that inspire me every day! xxx
This is how I know I'm addicted to the Pad: I opened this thread with my heart in my throat and I didn't even apply. It was just such a thrill to see who was chosen and to know we'll be seeing even MORE lovely pages from the newest Pollys. The site is just an embarrassment of riches!
well I have danced and jumped up and down when I heard, most of you are close friends ...couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! as I couldn't find a dancer on crutches....
this has been me too - it's hard to be happy when you know this comes at the expense of others and you're still wondering why they didn't choose scrapper X, Y and Z (not making light of the decision making process of @lmccandless & co.) but i'm still like 'they seriously picked me??' I've got the 'not this time' email from several designers here before and am just lucky to have been 'kept' after my guest time was up with my current TLP Ct's. i guess i want to say that this is my cinderella moment and it can happen to anyone - we are all talented and we all love it here and sometimes you don't understand the why but you do your best to earn your blessing afterwards. Congrats to the others, hugs to everyone regardless and know that putting yourself out there can sometimes pay off. See ya round the gallery!
That's so beautifully said, @bellbird - I love that, "do your best to earn your blessing"! I was too intimidated to apply, but since you say "it can happen to anyone" maybe I'll work up the courage to get all 31 layouts done for MOC 2017. ...maybe. Or, maybe not.
This is so exciting. When I read the names I was "oooh!" "Yes!" "Wow!" Congratulations to all. And thanks to everyone who made the leap and took the time to apply, you are the heart of this place too
