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.
