I am happy to announce 2 new DT members who are joining us for the first time this week.  Welcome Monica and Nancy!

Here's a wee bit more these lovely ladies:

Monica Taylor- Hi my name is Monica and was born and raised in San Diego, California. I currently live I Phoenix Arizona with my husband of 21 years, my 17 year old son and 2 Dachshund dogs. I have always been crafty and have at least tried most every type of crafting. I got into scrapbooking when my son was born and switched over to card making about 3 years ago. I started blogging about 9 months ago when I found the on line challenges and have become addicted ever since. I have met some amazing people and am inspired daily by the talents of the blogging community.

Nancy Hagen- I am married with three kids and I have been doing some kind of crafting (sewing, crocheting, embroidery, paper crafting) for as long as I can remember. I have been scrap booking for over 10 years. I discovered Copic markers a few years ago and have become addicted to coloring. I enjoy paper crafting and sharing my love of paper with other crafters.

  Here we have some fabulous Textirize It DT creations!
