Excellent work by our DT if I may say so myself!  I hope you’ll join us this week for our For A Child challenge.  If you are interested in a DT position, we have a couple of spots open and I’d love it if you would  join us.  Just click on the DT tab at the top of the blog for more information.  If you like to create and are comfortable using digis as well, please check it out!  
 

***One other thing I would like to mention is that I am going to be changing the name of the blog (or basically staying with the same sponsors and fabulous DT team but will have a new name and blog address)…not that it is terrible or anything but I did not actually start this blog.  I inherited it about 5 years ago as I was a DT member at the time and the lovely lady that started it was Dutch.  I really love the challenge blog, and we have grown leaps and bounds over the last 5 years, but I, myself am from Alberta, Canada and I really would like a new name to encourage worldwide participation….I have a few ideas I am throwing around right now that are more general not location specific, but would love to have a wee bit of a naming contest!   If you have a great name for a challenge blog that is not already taken and you think it would fit us, just leave me a comment below or send me an email if your refer.  Thank you for your input***


So there we have it, a long post but thank you for sticking with me!  Enter below for your chance to win 7 digis from Bugaboo!  Have fun creating For A Child!
