Also, Debbie Schneider who was our GD for September is going to be staying on with us for the remaining of the year. How wonderful is that?! Our lovely Guest Designer this month is Kathy Czygan! I first seen Kathy's wonderful work over at CDAC and fell in love with it and I am sure you will too. Please give Kathy a big welcome for the month of October!

I also wanted to thank everyone who stopped by our blog for the CDAC blog hop. I think it was a huge success and all the winners will be annouced no later then Friday, October 8th over at the CDAC site. I will let you know when it is all posted so if you hopped you can check it out. If you didn't make it, make sure you check out the posting below to see some the 20 new releases that can now be found in the Paper Cupcakes Store under new arrivals.

Also, I wanted to thank those who left posts last week as well as those who sent me an e-mail and especially those who participated in the challenge. I have not had time to respond to everything just yet, because we have had the flu running rampant through our house now for just over 2 weeks, which included me, but I do greatly appreciate it all.

Pat Pedder brings us this weeks challenge. She thinks with the holidays just around the corner we should make a Christmas card and she wants us to include some snowflakes! Please note for this is new: You do not need to use one of our digis to play along, but of course we would love to see a Paper Cupcakes image used. Please note: Everyone that uses a Paper Cupcakes image will be entered into the drawing twice to win.

If you don't have a Paper Cupcakes image and would like to have one to join in the fun you can use the image below:

Magical Monday - Be Inspired

for the random drawing prize for participating in last weeks challenge is: Georgette

Please send me your e-mail address at magicintheair@att.net so I can get these images out to you. CONGRATS and ENJOY!

Also, a BIG thanks to Patti Nelson who will be saying good-bye to us on the DT. She has been with me for 10 months and I have been so blessed by her lovely creations. Also, Amber Hillman and Melanie Newby will be moving on as well. As well as another shout out to Debbie Schneider who was our wonderful September GD. It always saddens me to see my designers move on, but I also feel very blessed by the time and talents they have shared with us as well. I hope you will all leave them a lovely post of thanks.

Also, I really don't want this to come across negative, but I have really been struggling if I need to re-consider if I will continue this blog come the first of next year if we don't start getting more people joining in our challenges. My DT/GD's work so hard to bring you wonderful inspiration every week and yet when I post freebies I have hundreds stop by and grab them for free, but very little join in our challenges with the freebies or leave a small thank you. It really is disheartening to me at times. I truly love doing this, but maybe I need some input from all of you on what you would like to see in order for you to join in here; next to just giving away free images for free all the time. So, if you have a positive voice to toss at me shoot me an e-mail and I would love to hear from you.

This weeks challenge is brought to us by Patti Painter. She wants you to be inspired by this picture however it moves you to create! You have until Sunday night to enter. Please note for this is new: You do not need to use one of our digis to play along, but of course we would love to see a Paper Cupcakes image used. Please note: only those who DO use one will be entered into the drawing to win.
