Taking a Rest . . .

Ever feel that you're running faster than you're able?

Well, so does the blog. ;) {and the team leaders, for that matter}

We've seen so much activity in the forum thread . . .

THIS HAS BEEN WONDERFUL!

So we're changing things up a bit, doing a bit of an experiment.

We'll be moving a couple features to the team forum threads instead of highlighting the features here on the blog.

One EXCITING new development is that we'll be moving the "Positive Quote" to the threads also. This will allow members to contribute their own Positive Quotes they run across.

You can visit the Positive Quote thread HERE .

The blog won't be very active over the next little while. Look, instead, to our monthly chat thread, where we'll make announcements, promote each other, and share positivity in general.

Have a WONDERFULLY POSITIVE day! :)

Affectionately, The Team Leaders

Time for Treasury Challenge!!

                             

                                A Trip Down Memory Lane...

I was a child of the '80s. When I think of my childhood now, there are many aspects of it which I have continued to love. The 1980s introduced me to jumper dresses, (I still LOVE those, even if I am a little too old to wear them!!), corduroy, leg warmers, Winnie The Pooh  (the funniest books EVER written, in my opinion!!), deely boppers, Five Star and New Kids on the Block (ahem!)

There are also quite a few things which I will happily never re-visit, these include Cabbage Patch Dolls (scary), school, purple (I don't know what I have against this colour, but really don't like it), and being forced to wear the same style of identical blue coat that my sisters also wore (at the same time!!)

Having a wander through etsy's '1980s vintage' section brought back so many memories, both good and bad!! :)

So, the challenge this week is to pop your childhood era into the vintage section, and have some fun!!! 


with love,
Naomi
