A Good Bye and a Hello!!!

I have hijacked the blog today!  I wanted to post a very special good-bye to Susan Dupre, who has been the Diva's design team lead since the beginning.  She has some other things that she wants to do and we wish her all the best!  We will miss her a lot, but we all have her email so we can still bug her!!!!  Here is one of my favorite layouts from her, of course, it would have a dog in it!!!!



Since Susan left, I have taken over for her so you will be seeing (reading) more of me here! Our design team is amazing and I just want to thank them for welcoming me to the position and for all the hard work they do to create amazing projects for us to post on the blog!!!!  I also wanted to acknowledge a few members of our team that have some extra duties and do some work behind the scenes!

Which leads me to our Hello!  Since I didn't have time to do both design team lead and the social media, Sarah Eclavea is now our Social Media Coordinator!  You will be seeing her more on Facebook, Scrapbook.com, and Twitter!  



And to round things out, we still have Deana Boston, who is our Retailer Program Coordinator and does fun stuff for all our retailers!!!  Here is Deana with Nikki at CHA Summer 2010.


And then we have our Julie and we LOVE our Julie! Julie Tucker Wolek is our Blog Coordinator and I don't know how she keeps it all straight, but she does.  She also LOVES her "Showcase on YOU!" to highlight YOUR work her on the blog with Nikki's fun products!!!  Here she is with Brookie, who is a frequent subject of her layouts!!!


So, there you have our good bye and hello.....And as they say..."When the cat is away the mice will play" well, in this case it's Nikki that is away on a well earned vacation...and just call me and Sarah the mice.

Here is Nikki in her hiking attire....yes, hiking!!!  She is adorable and yes, this is truly everyday, down to earth Nikki.  Dan (Mr. Nikki Sivils) posted this on her Facebook wall, so we swiped it for the Fan page and I am posting it here for those of you that don't do Facebook!

Wow, this picture got really big on here!

Have a Scrappy Kind of Day!!~~Katrina

Such a wonderful post! I'm all teary eyed now! I've been up in the mountains with little to know wifi and my 3G rarely works! Ugh... but it is vacation!

Susan you are such a dear friend to me and you will be missed! Love you Suzy-Q!!
