Blog Hop Winners and BIG Announcement!


Good Evening Peachies!! I know, I know! With all the excitement of Thanksgiving and the HUGE volume of orders received during our Thanksgiving Sale, we COMPLETELY forgot to let you know who won their choice of one Kut Outs die and one matching stamp set! So sorry about that!!

Congratulations Jennie, Janice, and Sheila!! Please email angelica {at} peachykeenstamps {dot} com with your choice of Kut Out die and a matching stamp set! Thank you to EVERYONE who made this hop so much fun!

**************************************************

Next, we have a HUGE announcement that is SO bittersweet. As most of you know, our designers ARE our Peachy Family. We have had most of them on the team since our blog inception in 2009, with our Let's Face it Friday designers joining us in 2010. We adore each of them. ADORE. We have formed so many tight-knit relationships with each of these beautiful women, and absolutely nothing could change that for us!

However, with a new year and new products, we thought it would be a great time to offer the opportunity of designing with Peachy Keen to more friends! Our DT isn't going to be too far, though. First, they are friends. True, warm hearted, undeniable FRIENDS. We treat our team the same way we treat our family, and I think they would all agree. :) We will have alumni hops every quarter where you'll see the people you've grown to love and have been inspired by the last (almost) 3 years. We just couldn't let them go that easy!!! Lorie, Kim and Nikki will help with the new team transition and will remain on board as DT leads for next year. Lorie will remain our resident PK Connection Community Manager. She is SO good at keeping that place running!

So....what do you think? Would you LOVE to design with Peachy Keen Stamps?!?! We WOULD LOVE for you to apply!! Please check out the details below and get a move on it!



Term: Jan 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012

• From time to time, we will ask for volunteer Designers to create projects for participation in cross-promotion of Peachy Keen Stamps and other papercrafting companies' blog hops and giveaways. This is optional and in addition to any other projects on our blog.

• Encourage fans of Peachy Keen Stamps to participate in our challenges and view our blog by promoting our links on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, and any other outlet you choose. Social Networking plays an important role in our marketing efforts, so we ask that if you have a Facebook account or Twitter account, that you help us spread the word about our stamps.
