Our creative voyage started in mid-February 2008 and ended in late August 2025!!!

Current team members: Alyson, Granmargaret, Wendy T, Tamara, Pamela, Maria', Martina and Becca.

New themes post on every other Friday mornings and averaging 26 topics per calendar year. 

Separate bragging recognition posts have been done for many years so that usually doubles or almost doubles the postings that we've been doing recently.

  

***Special tribute to blog owner Shell Swinscoe for being an active part and keeping the 'doors' open at MTTC and even starting a sister blog to offer Christmas themes on alternating Friday mornings!!! We are truly blessed by your years of leadership and patronage!!! ***

Very first team members for first post on February 11, 2008 were: Kate T, Lesley and Wendy.

The very first theme was "Newspaper". 

Back then the blog challenges were posted on Mondays! 

Thanks to every design team member past or current!! Your creative flairs and visions for topics have inspired not only ourselves within the team but with the wider artisan crafting community of bloggers!!!

Thanks for every participant past or recent!!! Your interpretations of the theme topics helped to inspire the DT members and also others who participated or who have seen your project(s) indirectly through link-ups to other challenge blogs, FB groups, IG, etc.

The End.
