I hope you all have been enjoying your summer! The mid-year has passed now, so now comes the slide into the second half. Loads of holidays to plan for! I hope you are all ready!
Just letting you all know that Facebook has either removed or hidden the official group over there, so now, this is the only place we have to hang out. I mean, it was a good run, and we got really lucky that the group lasted for years, but I guess all things come to an end... Unfortunately. Good thing we have this place, though! Let's keep our collective fingers crossed that they open it back up.
The SECRET PUMPKIN is still open for signups! What is this, you ask? It's a secret gift exchange for Halloween! Halloween is a great holiday for arts and crafts swaps. Anything from cute to creepy. Come have a look and sign up if you want! It will be closing at the end of September, so sign up while you can! (For the record, secret swap events like this won't take so long in the future. Since this is our first, we are taking it slow to give people time to see them.)

@LadyGirl
A little background info:
LadyGirl has been with us since the early 2000s. A few of you know that we have had forums in the past. Facebook killed off our last one a few years ago. However, through the years, LadyGirl has been with us the whole time! She has been a moderator, pretty much since the beginning.
Even though she doesn't talk a whole lot, you better be sure she is watching! And you will notice that she is here, at least once, every single day.
She doesn't have any cards in the gallery, but she definitely has a few in my collection
Let's give a big congratulations to LadyGirl! Keep up the great work! And thank YOU for always being here.
