Mum's The Word

MUM'S THE WORD - This is our Mother's Day workshop for 2010 and is a collaborative effort from fourteen of our very talented fifteen finalists we had in our recent search for a Support Team member for the @Home site.

The girls have created a wonderful range of projects and have joined forces with us here @Home to help fill our classroom to the brim with Mother's Day ideas. Running for the month of May and officially kicking off with our first project upload tomorrow, this online workshop is NOW OPEN FOR BOOKINGS.

Join in ANY time. The class is available for the entire month of May:) Make sure you check out the early bird pricing offer too!

Introducing our two new @Home Support Team girls

We are pleased to announce our two brand new Support Team girls are:

Sheree Forcier, QLD and

Lisa Pate, NSW

We are thrilled to have the girls join the @Home team!! ALL entries from our top 15 were of exceptionally high standard and it was a tough choice.

I didn't want to announce anything publicly until I had contacted each applicant by email. I hate sending out the sad emails but I am THRILLED to say that we are going to announce an exciting collaboration project from our Top 15!!

You will have to wait a short while though for the announcement until I hear back from all the girls! But it's exciting. It's fun. And our @Home participants will LOVE it.

THANK YOU again to everyone who took the time to enter - your work was beautiful and I look forward to working with some of you in the future on some Guest Workshops!

Pleased to announce

 

Finally!!!

I am thrilled to announce our @Home guest tutor is the very talented and lovely to work with LORRAINE VIDLER who joins our team for the very first time with her fresh and funky new online workshop Draw ME...Please!

So. What’s this class all about?

Well this workshop came about waaaay back in November at our @Home Retreat when Lorraine won our name badge competition with her gorgeously beautiful fabric name tag.

I loved the painted and stitched and padded “Self Portrait” of Lorraine, complete with funky glasses and beautifully shaded and toned hair! It was divine.

So then I got to thinking - I was keen to know how Lorraine created her little self portrait tag and IF I was keen to know then of course our @Home participants would surely love to know as well.

After some emailing back and forth Lorraine’s very first workshop - Draw ME…Please! came to life.

We're pleased to announce...

Well my intention to have a TOP 10 blew right out to a TOP FIFTEEN for the @Home comp. It was TOO hard to decide.

Do you know, I was just saying to the Support Girls that there wasn't one entry that we immediately knew wasn't right for our team. We really did take into consideration each and every entry.

It was lovely to read each entry and gain a bit more of an insight into who each of our applicants were, their thoughts, how they started out in this craft, who they mainly scrapbooked about and their other crafty interests etc etc... We visited blogs and checked out galleries and we all really enjoyed the process.

But then came the tough bit. 

Making a decision.

We ended up with a Top 15 (in no particular order) and I am thrilled to announce our @Home finalists are:

Sheree Forcier
Lisa Pate
Kirsten Northfield
Leanne Allinson
Bec Pullen
Ros Davidson
Ebony Van Der Starre
Jen Hall
Sharmaine Kruijver
Lorraine Vidler
Fiona Leehane
Leanne Love
Sophie Koschmann
Renee Ludlow
Kelly Walker

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our finalists. Each of the girls now move onto Round 2 where they have access to a private workshop and they will be busy bees and create samples for the class. We hope to announce our new team members around the 19 April 2010.

The other sad part is letting those unsuccessful applicants know they didn't make it to the next round. I HATE that part of the job. Its tough to tell people they haven't made it and I want them all to know it was a close decision and a tough one and we didn't take our judge-ly duties lightly. We received far more entries than we anticipated and the level of talent was very high.

Thank you to everyone who entered our comp...and we will announce our new team members very soon!
