WOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!

Welcome to the new thread EVERYONE!!!

WE DID IT!!

We are an exciting, wonderful, FUNtabulously Official Etsy Team as of yesterday!!

Hooo-Ray for ALL of us!! :)

BIG THANKS to Kathi Roussel who created the Stunningly Gorgeous Banner for our Team Homepage...YAY Kathi!! You ROCK!! :)

Big THANKS AGAIN to Ames for ALL of your Awesome work on creating and MAINTAINING our outside Etsy Links on Facebook and Twitter...YOU ROCK TOO!! :)

And JENN...Your Work on Keeping up the ACS donation page is INVALUABLE...Thank You for ROCKIN' us out over there! :)

Ginny....Your work on the THREAD is amazing and I am so Grateful.....Rockin' the ETSY connection!! YAY!! :)

And finally......KIM, I could NOT have done this without you...you are the best....massive THANKS!! :)

I think I have covered everything either above in our opening statement, in the letter I am sending out or on the new Team homepage!! If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me!!

~*~#@~*~*#*#*~*#*~!**#~*!!!~*!~#*#
And.....YES!! If you read the opening announcement above....YOU MUST change your TAGS!!! Please!
There was no way around this as it was done in order to ensure that we are "found" by Etsy Admin when they are searching listings to use in promotions and such.
So....DO NOT USE:
etsyprojectembrace
for tagging any more.

And you will need to CHANGE ALL of your older listings to the NEW TAG of:

teamepe

I cannot stress this enough as this is the Tag that people will be searching for to use in Treasuries, to buy things related to Project Embrace, and any outside promotion!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!! :)

Also, I am going to go back to the old thread and "bring" all of Ginny's hard work finding recent Treasuries here to this one, so you don't have to jump back and forth...YAY!!

Have an incredibly creative and awesome weekend everyone!!
:) Kristin
