A Fond Farewell to the Craft Dash….
If I’m being honest, I was putting off this post as long as possible. What came to mind everytime I thought about writing it was a parent saying goodbye to their child who is going off to college. It’s not a permanent goodbye, but it’s a sad one nonetheless. Seeing your “baby” grow up and then go away…. I can only assume that my feelings of saying goodbye to the 10 Minute Craft Dash is a little similar.
I started the Craft Dash back in August 2012 and little did I know that just after it my life would change because of my accident. There were moments I didn’t know if I would be able to continue with it (because of my physical issues and pain), but I’m glad I did. Despite the hard work that went into it, it also brought so much joy and normalcy into my life. Honestly, this was like my baby. Seeing you all get excited about the challenge was thrilling, the buzz around the birthday bash was exciting and getting to meet/ work with sponsors and designers was a great experience. I am very sad to have to close the doors, but I’m also excited about the new doors I’m walking through. Also, I might be able to host a challenge here or there…
Since this post is long overdue, I’ll get to the winner and favorites for this post.

From the very bottom of my heart, thank you to the design team members who have been a part of this journey, the amazing sponsors and designers who have helped make this challenge a success and YOU, my amazing readers and 10 Minute Craft Dash participants. You have filled my heart with joy by your creations, loving words and encouragement.
I hope that many, if not all, of you will continue to visit the blog- I still plan on posting regularly! In addition, with the extra time I’ll have on my hands, I’ll be focusing more on the Pretty Pink Posh Shop and adding new products and coordinating some neat things in the future. This year is just getting started and I’m hopeful it’ll be fun of beautiful creations, wonderful memories and lots and lots of blog posts. :)
Much Love,
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there’s lots of new products that will be arriving in the 
Today I wanted to share what’s been on my heart and also get your feedback. As many of you know, running a challenge is a lot of hard work- coordinating with sponsors, GETTING sponsors, putting together graphics and posts, coordinating with the DT….the list goes on and on. In recent months, the challenge participation has been down by quite a bit and now I’m struggling with making the decision on whether to continue on in 2014. Now is the time where I would need to consider doing a new design team call and starting to acquire new sponsors, which has me in a tizzy. Is the lack of participation due to the over saturation of challenges? The uninspiring color palettes? People still scared to try the challenge? I would LOVE to get your feedback on this. I do wish to continue on with the challenge, but if the numbers and interest just isn’t there, it’s out of my hands.
If you were one of the lucky blog hop winners, please email me and I’ll get the necessary information to you and/or connect you with the person who can help you further.
