A SPECIAL THANKS TO A SPECIAL DT MEMBER

 The sad time has come to say goodbye to another of our Design Team members, Jan Marshall, who served on our team for a long time, helping us through the transition from the old store to the new.  While we celebrate her new appointment and more responsibility on another Design Team, we mourn our loss!   
Jan, we will miss your beautiful creations, sparkling personality and lovely friendly chats!  Thanks for your support and loyalty -  and I know that Jen our DT Leader will be echoing my sentiments as she reads this. You were a delightful member of our very busy team, you always pulled your weight, and always created stunning cards. We will all miss you, but we wish you all the best in your new adventures, and of course you may now 'officially' enter our DS4J challenges!!
 Jen put together a collage of some of the cards you have made during your DT membership, a perfect tribute to your talent and creativity:

We will miss you. Please don't forget us and pop in and say hi now and then!!
