Farewell but not goodbye

I thought I'd use my last blog post to say thank you. Thank you for being such a great group of crafters. Thank you for being such supportive friends. Thank you for making my stint as Design Team Member and Coordinator such a pleasant, enjoyable experience. The last two years have been both fun and stressful. I loved every minute of trying to make this site an enjoyable and educational; experience every time you visit. It was also stressful in that I worried I wasn't doing enough, sometimes. However, I have been very fortunate to have led a great group of ladies on the Design Team who have helped me out tremendously. Jill has been the most generous and thoughtful "boss" I could have ever hoped for. I was very fortunate to have met her in person and found her as gracious and sweet as she is on line. I promise you would love her if you met her, too.

So, it is a bittersweet thing to say farewell to this gig. I will continue to be an active member of this site because this is my scrapbooking home. However, I have just gotten really busy with work and grandkids and even occasional photography jobs that people actually want to pay me for! That last part still surprises me. haha. I have passed the baton to Telah and I know that she will do a terrific job keeping things running smoothly around here. The new Design Team looks great and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing what they come up with. I love you all dearly.

Detta, your leadership on the team is directly related to the success of the team. You ALWAYS knew where everyone was and what they were supposed to be doing that week, even if we didn't know ourselves. You kept everyone gone and continued to make the Memorable Seasons board a warm and welcome place to hang out. I appreciate how you were always looking for ways to make the team, the board and the store better.

As you mentioned, we did get to meet, and that was one of the highlights of my year. Detta is so fun, easily puts others at ease, even brought some fun gifts for the kiddos. The Grandma in Detta! :) I hope I look that amazing when I am a grandmother, and I hope it is a LONG time before I am a grandmother since he's only 14!

I wish I could better convey all that Detta has mean and still does mean, to the store. I can only genuinely thank you Detta, and I am even more thankful we became friends along the way. Now we just need to plan a Texas Scrapping Getaway!
