Stunning cards girls.  I’m sure the DT have inspired you to join in the fun this week.  We cannot wait to see what you create and visit your blogs. 

Could we please ask that if you still have word verification on your blogs that you consider turning it off.  As most of you know the new system requires you to copy two words to verify that you’re not a robot – but unfortunately they are so difficult to read that sometimes it can take two or three attempts to get it right.  Obviously as you can appreciate this is very time consuming for the DT.  We appreciate your help with this.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
