So who IS staying at the LilyPad?

That IS and exceptionally cool byline!

 

I love seeing all the updates for so many great designers who are staying! Yay for happy news!

 

what wonderful posts to wake up to ..... thenk you so much for "i.m staying" ... bless your heart

this place been more then a store o challenges, events. it has been a place one could open up and talk, being a private person, i have felt excepted and inclurged

 

This is definitely a happy thread. I admit, I was worried, but there is so much optimism here. I can't wait for January 1 and the new and improved version of TLP! Thanks to all the designers who are committed to the store.

 

This is my very favorite thing about this place!
The community here is like no other

 

We Polly's are cooking up good stuff with the new #bosslady, change is hard but it can bring good things too! There's lots of awesome designers still here, and here's to hoping some new blood will be added too. This community is here to stay, love it here there's no place like the Pad!

 

Aw I've been away from the forum for a while and haven't really been scrapping with things going on in life, but lately I've been getting the itch! Jumped back in and saw this. I'm so glad to see that so many of my favorite designers are staying!! Change is hard, but I'm sure great things are around the corner!

 

Hi,
I'm glad some of our wonderful designers are staying. I am a bit worried about being able to post and join challenges if there's a requirement to use 50% or 75% Lilypad designers elements as I now won't have very much in my collection that is from Lilypad designers. Unfortunately my favorites so far are all leaving -- I'm sure I will find new favorites but won't be able to buy tons of new scrapbook supplies all at once. I'd built up a collection of LP Designers over the past many years.

 

Looking forward to an onward and upward in 2025 at TLP. So many great designers and scrappers here! I'm glad for my scrapping family.

 

This thread is making me want to take a bigger role in playing here. I'm going to try to be more active in leaving comments and taking part in discussions. Looking forward to changes and hope there are a lot of them!

 

OMG! I have had the same thought!

 

Me too!

 

I don't necessarily like change but I'm so excited for what's to come.

 

If there's one thing this transition has emphasized, it's that we can't take this place for granted! It takes a whole community to keep a site successful. Everyone is so welcome to join in here!

 

Imagine the possibilities... new management brings with it new ideas & concepts to keep TLP growing! 2025 will surely be exciting at the pad!!! Can't wait!!!!

 

I love all the positive energy in this post!

 

That's great news!

 

Such positive comments. This community is strong and that is the key!

 

It's going to be exciting to see what comes next!

 

I'm hearing you @Beth Holmes bless you. I remember my first MOC, I was new here and only had 4 kits. I really learnt a lot having to stretch my stash with mixing and matching etc. Are you subscribed to the newsletters for the remaining designers? Some have freebies for subscribers, and freebies by resident designers are allowed to be used in the gallery and challenges. Joyce Paul has a freebie hop running at the moment - 5 different parts of a free kit split between her store and social media which ends on the 5th Jan.
