I had a lot of girls comment in private regarding the opportunity to join the DT as "new blood", I really need to think of another tag to attach to these girls.I was on the look out for a crafter who showed original style, a nice blog with regular craft postings and was not already on any DT.
Out of those I found, the choice was hard yet again but I found more than I needed and wondered to myself how I could justify giving several girls a chance. SO I ended up with the idea that these new girls would be given half the rubber that the DT get in order not to push them too hard { its no fun when you have to provide work and your are overloaded with commitments} and give them a months guest DT spot to see how they get on and to share out the rubber the best I can.
So I will refer to them as DTg and post there creations here to see how they get on. It has been one of my more pleasurable points in this business to watch artist and crafters grow and bloom. Its sad that I loose them when more opportunities are opened up for them but its a "mothers pride" moment to watch them move on. I want to give this chance to others, I cant do it for everyone but I would like to try first with these girls

It must be glorious to see your name listed there for such an opportunity!!! I think it's awesome that you seek out new designers that have not been on DTs to give them a boost if they had not been confident yet to try out on their own. Congrats girls! Enjoy it AND most important just have fun!
Hi Karen,
I am in awe with all the newness this year. I love Sugar Nellie, and have to say, one year I do hope to get the chance to be a lucky SNDT or even a SNDTg. It is really nice to have things to aspire to, and your current DT is just so inspiring. Keep up the good work ladies! Congrats to the new DTg's! Look forward to seeing your work too.
Hugs
Tanya
