    No.. this isn't about MOC (sorry if I got your hopes up) but it's *almost* as exciting! :D Many of you took my survey back at the beginning of the year, and after spending quite a bit of time pouring through all of the responses, I've decided to make some changes that I think will be beneficial for everyone.. Hop on over to my blog to read all about it.. :D

    I just read your post and have to say that I am very impressed that you evaluated everything so thoroughly and are listening to what everybody had to say.
    I would like to comment on no. 5, blog challenges. I fully understand why you are posting them on your blog and why it is important to you that people will need to post on your blog in order to participate. Are you going to post the challenge here as well? I have to admit I cannot follow every blog but love to participate in designer challenges. So it would be great if we could read about them here in the forum, too, so we won't miss them (as I most certainly would).

    ditto this too! I'm making that Designer Challenge forum a priority in my scrapping this year! Already I've spent more time in designers' stores that I might not have in the past because of these challenges and having them all together :D

    I just sent you a PM, but the designer challenges are just on fire right now, and I do a separate thread to help people find you and encourage to play! I love them, and try and do them all! We have a little fun competition going too, to see who gets them done.
    So if you post it here at the Lily Pad, I will do the rest!

    Well Anne said what I was going to about the challenges. It's so much easier having Anne's list and having others posting their progress on the challenges.
    Have always loved your kits and am excited about the changes you are planning to make. I'm so happy the survey was helpful. And right now I'm ignoring the brownie recipes because there are no calorie free ones -- LOL. But that was sweet to share them too.

    I love that you interact with your customer base, asking what they would like. I think it's all awesome! Your kits are always so wonderful!

    Love this!! It is a great list and I think those things will help skyrocket your brand! I was nervous taking your survey because I wasn't incredibly familiar with your work, but I was kind of stoked to see that some of the things I thought made the list, which means I wasn't the only one who thought them, but also that I helped! I love helping so that was really very cool!! :D And, I love your stuff now that I am more familiar with it! So, I think it will only get better! YAY!

    Huggles!!

    I had to buy the cake smash bundle- even though I have blown my budget for this month with all my shopping. So keep up the good work, it's fabulous.
