Facebook Inspiration Team DT CALL RESULTS

Hi there everyone! Laurel here! First of all, I want to thank everyone who applied to the FIT DT call! We had a lot of of gorgeous and inspirational blogs to look thru, which made our decision even harder..... Secondly, I want to personally apologize for taking so long to write this post. I didn't plan the call well because when the call ended, I was leaving for a vacation..... Sorry about that. I know how sitting around waiting can stink.

Again, this was a tough decision. I really don't like DT calls because I know there will be people leaving the call disappointed and disheartened and I am sorry about that. Everyone who applied is awesome and I wish I could offer up a spot to everyone... The decisions were solely based on the current needs of the team (IE.  a specific style per say that we don't currently have, etc)...

We've chosen 3 talented designers to join the FIT team, and a few others will receive an email from me about guest designing... If you don't receive an email from me and are interested in guest designing, please email me at laurelbeard at me dot com with subject: Guest Designer.

The 3 designers we would like to welcome to the FIT DT are:

• Roanne of Orgazined CHAOS
• Lexa of Artsy Corner
• Marina of Marina's Craft Space

Again, a big thanks to all of you for your participation and support!

A Design Team Update

Hello there everyone! Laurel here... I trust everyone in the states is still full of turkey and dessert!! Here in the Beard household we unfortunately aren't done quite yet. The hubs wants to fry a turkey in his infrared turkey fryer tomorrow! Men and their gadgets!  :) My waist line is paying the price.

Enough of that!  I'm here for a purpose, I promise.  I'm here to give you a little bit of a design team update...

First off, the sweet and fab Melissa Shea of the Design Team will be taking some time off.... We ARE NOT saying goodbye to her. We are just saying see ya in a few months! The wonderfully sweet and uber talented Annette Allen (who also happens to be a dear friend of mine) will be stepping in for Melissa..... She will join us beginning in December.

The sweet Jennifer McDermott of the Facebook Inspiration team will be stepping down after her term ends in December. I know, I know... I'm sad too! She is amazing!!!!! We love having her with us and we will continue to eat up all the moments in December while she is still with us. But you can all  rest assured, she will be back guesting with us in 2014 as well as participating in the challenges! :) I'm not letting her go that easily, lol!!!!

With the bad news does come some good news. The fab Taylor Usry will be joining us on the Facebook Inspiration team starting in December...... :)

Please join me in welcoming Annette and Taylor....... And let Melissa and Jennifer know how much we will miss them....

TATA for now! :)
