DT Call:

We need 2 new design team members for MTTC. We also need for our sister blog, MTTCChristmas. You don't need to join both however they do alternate Fridays for new themes. We don't use sponsors so you get to use your own supplies. We've also planned themes out months in advance so you can work ahead if able to do so. Those are some great reasons to join the DT(s). Each DT member is assigned a commenting #. We take turns picking Top 3 or Top 5 recognitions. And we have a team blog to post with manager Becca have drafts made for several weeks in advance to help team members add their project photos and blog links quickly and easily. 

If interested, please send an email stating which team(s) you'd like to join (MTTC/general occasion themes and/or MTTCC/Christmas themes)=
