JAI News

Before our next challenge Id like to announce some news... Mae and I are stepping down as coordinators of Just Add Ink.

Mae and I have been a team for a couple of years and Ive done 3 years so while we wont be going anywhere ..(the Just Add Ink Team girls are like family!),  we both needed to step down from running it. (for both of us its just a too much on our plate thing)

My sincere thanks goes to Bronwyn Eastley, Mae Collins, Jo Eades and Nikki Spencer for helping us run this team over the past 3 years.

So going forward we have four team members who are running the challenge team.

 They are Chantell Randall (who has been on the team the longest like I have), Kim Badelt. Trish Rayfield and you already know Nikki Spencer who has already been helping with the challenge winners posts. Thanks so much to all of you for stepping up and helping this challenge team continue and grow! All four have some wonderful qualities that will help and grow this challenge site..Im excited!
So off I go to post the next challenge ..
