Saw the request for new space. Debating over a topic...Steakums or DST downtime.
For those of you that are gold and diamond members there, does the frequent and extended down time irritate you? Do you feel like the money you paid for "membership" give you special gripe privileges? Does it irritate you enough to complain to Shannon?
As always discuss this or anything else...I still check in on you, and will post new space around Easter or sooner if requested. Have a good one...off to drink a pint.

2008 - The good, bad and ugly
Here is some new space for you.
Seems like a good time to do a reader contribution Digi year in review. Were there any digi moments worth remembering? What digi trends exploded in 2008? Any predictions for the new year?

MyPicTales
Here is some new space for you.
I have really lost interest in the message boards, and found that I have been getting a lot more scrapping done!
I did a quick scan at DST and the thread that jumped out at me was about MyPicTales. Seems there are more than a few gals disappointed in the product, customer service and turnaround time. Seems that the owner of MPT, and DST staff have requested that criticism be kept off the board. In my opinion she can't have it both ways. She used that board like crazy to promote her product, coupons, and now that there are service issues they are requesting they be kept private. I personally would like to know both sides of the story, and I applaud those that have publically shared their experiences, both positive and negative.
Sorry - for those wanting gossip...I am just not in the "know" - I can only speculate with the rest of you on the flight of designers from SBG etc.

October Hot Product
Ok - So it looks like the first Hot product to be featured in the DST insider and on the home page of DST is a Mystery Mega Collab Kit by the Scrap Orchard Designers.
If you want to see the contents, it was revealed here:
Mega Collab Revealed
Looks like it currently is selling for $3.00 and the product listing says that the price will increase in one week. I don't know when that will be.
Remember, "The introductory cost for this package is $350.00" I don't know if this is what they actually paid.
Let's discuss.
How did the DST CT team do using the kit?
Do you think this was cost effective advertising for this product?
Did you click on the DST link to take a closer look?
Did you buy this kit? Are you planning too?
Do you look at reveals before purchasing?
Do you think the store covered the fee, or did the designers all chip in?

What's new?
I spent a little time tonight surfing DST and MSA and couldn't find much that was worthy of a blog post. Gina Miller had her baby, and I thought it was interesting Shannon announced it at DST, and indicated she had been in contact with Gina. There was much speculation on the blogs about a falling out between the two when she split and started MSA.
Seems a couple of traditional scrappers (or CK featured) have found their way into the digital market. CD Muckosky is selling at LDD. Ali Edwards has been selling bits and templates at Designer Digitals. Any others out there tapping into the digital market?
What else is new around digi land? I must admit I haven't been keeping up with the scene. Apparently this blog is a haven for grandmas and mormons. Here is a shout out to all you grannys out there.

Changing Seasons
Hold on to your hats, we are moving into Autumn. Good bye beach kits. Hello leaves, Halloween and Christmas.
I must say I have been pleased lately with the variety of non-seasonal kits (birthday, outdoors etc.), and multi purpose kits being released. It feels like even though kit prices have gone up I can get multiple pages from the same kit, and because of the variety (extractions, doodles) in that kit, the pages have a completely different feel.
What "trend" are you loving these days?
What "trend" is going to pass you by?
Amy Martin has won two big (traditionally paper) scrapping contests this year. Do you think this will help bring newbies over to digital?
Have you entered any scrap contests outside of the Digi community?
Lets try to keep the pirate talk to the blogs devoted to the topic. (Just a request, but as always discuss what you want.)
