Is this not the most DARLING lineup of cards?!?!?  I absolutely LOVE the whimsical and 'shoot for your dreams' nature of this set.  Something I definitely want to instill in my kids and even for MYSELF still...you know?  In the words of my Dad, I STILL don't know what I want to be when I grow up!  LOVE that!

Naughty or Nice? Well, we have LOTS of "Nice" going on today...

Hello EVERYONE!  Hope you all had a very MERRY Christmas and that it was full of magic and memories!

We are beginning January previews today with some HUGE news and fun announcements...are you all ready?  First and foremost, we have some HELLO's and Goodbyes.   The Greeting Farm would like to thank Melyssa and Randi as their terms with TGF are ending and we wish them both well!  From now on, TGF Farmers terms will be 6 months long instead of one year and although it probably won't make it any EASIER to say goodbye to our talented designers, we are excited about this! 

Also saying goodbye this week are the FABULOUS members of our Critter Crew. Not because their terms are up, but because the Critter Crew itself will no longer be considered a 'team' of TGF. While we will surely have a cute critter by Marina from time to time, we will no longer be releasing these on a regular basis and it is with an ENORMOUS amount of gratitude that we say goodbye to such a WONDERFUL team of designers!  Thank you all so much!

Well, now that we've gotten the sad part out of the way, we have THREE NEW FARMERS to welcome to TGF and a new Guest Designer that we are THRILLED about!   Please welcome:

TANYA TAHIR

EMMA EADS &

SARI HANNINEN as our 

THREE NEW FARMERS and please welcome 

BUTTERCUP as our January Guest Designer!

TONS of excitement going on around the FARM!  And as if that werent enough?   Check out our first preview, a Cheeky Cherry "NAUGHTY or NICE" set to be released on January 1st!

Be sure to head on over and WELCOME our new designers and to visit ALL The TGF DT, including Team Anya as they have previews for you today too on the Club Anya & Friends Blog!!  We'll see you back tomorrow on the TGF Blog with a chance to WIN a new Oliver and Amelia set!

Early Farmers Market

Hi friends! We will be having an early Farmers Market starting tonight instead of tomorrow morning. I know many of you are leaving for the holidays and etc and I also have to be somewhere tomorrow morning as well so I will be putting up the goods in a little bit.

I do apologize for doing the disappearing act on you. Just scrambling to finish things up before bean comes and trying to get as much design time in as I can because I know it will be hard with a needy little human coming within the next few weeks. Also wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and I will do my best to get some in rubber. :)

And as a little thank you for all of your precious support and love, please check back here for a little Christmas gift on Saturday!

Love, hugs, and God Bless!

IF you have been published within the last 45 days, please send a photo of your project in the magazine and your name and blog to Jessica at yeahshestamps at gmail dot com :)

Thanks!

Random Blabber

Happy Monday Stamper Friends! Apologies for my absence last week. There's been lots of things that needed catching up on at home and we've been having visitors as well. Hopefully things will slow down after the holidays. I am also a little behind on email responses but I'll be taking care of those shortly so thank you so much for all your patience.

Bean and I are at our 35 week mark now. Sadly I do not have a picture update for you. I'm sitting here like a beast in my robe. LMAO! Pretty unsightly. The other day I was laying in this awkward position on the couch and Ray said I looked like a seal. LOL! To which I replied 'Unless you have a slice of cake with you, you are only background noise to me.' haha. Let me and my aquatic form be.

I think 2011 will be a very cute and spectacular year. But it will NOT be a SUPER spectacular year without your suggestions and comments. So share with me what you'd like to see in the upcoming months. More kits? More of a certain set? Something totally different stuff?

Today's question is: What would you like to see in 2011?

Get Sentimental

Well hello there crafty peeps!  Melyssa here and it's time for another installment of Farm Fresh Friday.  This week's challenge is a Scrapbook challenge.  All you have to do is Get SENTIMENTAL with a quote, phrase, or favorite poem that reminds you of someone you love :)  There's a pize for one lucky participant!  This week's challenge prize is a fabulous one!  It's "Because of You" the newest Sentiment stamp set from the Farm.

Just upload your LAYOUT to TGF Galleria>Contest/Challenges>FFF>Get Sentimental
