My HAT's OFF to you on Farm Fresh Friday...

Hello everyone!   As you are reading this, I have most likely (and tearfully, cuz it still hurts a bit each time...) kissed my children goodbye in their sleep, kissed my new little puppy on it's nose, gotten the 'you'll be ok and you are awesome' pep talk (which is always MUCH needed!) from my wonderful and supportive DH, and gotten on a plane...probably all before most of you are awake :)   It's ABOUT that time...CHA baby...CHA.  I'll be arriving in SUNNY LA after 2 (or 3...but please let's hope 2, LOL!) legs of flying and CANNOT WAIT to see friends, work the floor, and have a BLAST even though it's hard work, as anyone will tell ya :)

For now... It's time for another Farm Fresh Friday AND a bunch of UBER-fabulous NEW RELEASES are around the corner at The Greeting Farm....all coming to you on February 1st!

Today is also our FIRST day of Feb. previews and we have some announcements to make here on the Farm.  Sadly we say goodbye to Tammy Maxvill as her term as Farmer has come to a close.  We will miss you Tammy and THANK YOU for all of your wonderful contributions, tutorials, and awesome 3D proejcts!  We also have a new addition!  or TWO!? Please welcome (back!) BUTTERCUP as a FULL-TIME FARMER!  We are THRILLED that she will be joining us through the month of June along with our other 3 new Farmers and are VERY excited about what she has in store for us!   As if that weren't exciting enough, please SHAELA ODD as our February Guest Designer for TGF!  Some of you may recognize the sweet Shaela from her term with our Critter Crew and we are very happy to have her back as our February Guest :)

Today we have Team Anya joining us for FFF as well, so it's without further adieu that we also welcome PEGGY McCURRY as our FEBRUARY GUEST DESIGNER for Team Anya!   Peggy has been a long-time fan of the Farm and has wow'd us with her amazing layouts (which we've CASED a few times, I think!) and we are glad to have her!

Always exciting here on the Farm!  And now onto the Challenge!  This week, we invite our friends and customers to join us in our "Hat's Off to You!" challenge!...use a HAT theme on your card or project!  You can cut one out/alter a stamp, use Hat paper, hat racks, hat pins, baseball caps, anything to do with HATS on your challenge card.  You can also create a 3d/altered item in the shape of a hat?  Whatever you fancy, it's hat's off to you this week!

As for my card?  SURPRISE is right!
