Our creative voyage started in early January 2021 and ended in mid-August 2025!!!

Current team members: Alyson, Granmargaret, Martina, Miss Mudge and Becca.

New themes post on every other Friday mornings and averaging 26 topics per calendar year. 

Separate bragging recognition posts have been done so that usually doubles or almost doubles the postings that we've been doing.

  

***Special tribute to blog owner Shell Swinscoe for being an active part and keeping the 'doors' open at MTTCC on alternating Friday mornings to the original MTTC blog!!! We are truly blessed by your years of leadership and patronage!!! ***

------------------------------------------

Very first team members for posts #1 and/or #2 in January, 2021 were: Mags, Granmargaret, Janice, Judith, Meena, Jackie, Caz, Tracey, Becca and Shell.

The very first theme was "Reindeer". 

The second theme was "Penguin".

------------------------------------------------

Thanks to every design team member past or current!! Your creative flairs and visions for topics have inspired not only ourselves within the team but with the wider artisan crafting community of bloggers!!!

Thanks for every participant past or recent!!! Your interpretations of the theme topics helped to inspire the DT members and also others who participated or who have seen your project(s) indirectly through link-ups to other challenge blogs, FB groups, IG, etc.

The End.

Robert Burns

1759 –

1796

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

     Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
     For auld lang syne.
     We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
     For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

     Chorus

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
Sin’ auld lang syne.

     Chorus

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne.

     Chorus

And there’s a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

     Chorus
