LLC Birthday Bloghop

Welcome to LLC's Birthday Blog Hop!

Next Tuesday, on June the 25th exactly one year will have gone by since the Live & Love Crafts opened up. It's been a very exciting year for me; not in my wildest dreams did I think the store would become this successful in just one year's time.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my customers for your outstanding support over the last 12 months. I'd also like to thank all the blog followers who leave encouraging comments on the Design Team Member's work, as well as all the LLC Facebook Fans and Instagram Fans.

Thanks also to all the crafters who are sharing your talent with us by entering our monthly challenge.  And a special thanks to these 23 ladies… 

Yup; these are all the ladies who honoured us by guest designing for the LLC Challenge and at other occasions. In the blog sidebar you’ll find links to their blogs, well worth a visit!

At last but definitely not least…
the super mega über talented LLC Design Team Members, who are not just exceptional crafters but also some of the sweetest girls I know, and I'm proud to call my friends. ♥

Now you probably wonder why there isn’t a picture collage of them?
Well; I started making one, but then it got a bit complicated…should I include our past member, should I cross out the members who are stepping down, should I add the guest designer???  Don’t worry, you’ll meet them all on the hop, but a short explanation might still be helpful.

Joining us on the hop is Elizabeth, who was a DT Member during LLC’s first six months. Thanks so much Elizabeth, it’s great working with you again. Then as a result of two members stepping down, we have two new recruits…

It’s with great sadness I announce that this will be Karita’s last project for LLC. Karita has been with LLC since the beginning and brought us so much wonderful inspiration over the last year. I can’t thank Karita enough for her contributions to LLC, and I’m sure you all agree.
Please make sure you leave her lots and lots of love when you visit her blog today!

The second member is not exactly stepping down, but stepping away a bit to focus more on store related things . Yup; that’ll be me. ;-) As the store has been getting busier, I don’t seem to have enough hours in the day for everything I want to and have to do, so I thought some reinforcement would come in handy…

I’m thrilled to announce the two newest members of the LLC DT: Eulanda and Alyce.
Welcome, it’s great having you on board!

If you read all the way down here, well done!
I’ll stop waffling now and let’s get on with the hop.
