Well, we got our first ever mention in a craft magazine - the magazine is a UK based one called Papercrafts Inspirations and it went on sale last Friday how exciting is that?
Maybe there's more to come....
Jane's been looking at the stats and come up with a few bits of DCM trivia;
*On average we are gaining 445 NEW visitors every single month
*The average daily visit count is 232 people
*We have had visitors not only from the UK, NZ and Australia, where our Design Team members are based, but also from the USA, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, Puerto Rico, India, Belgium, Canada, Singapore, Finland and France
*We are due to hit the 50000 visitor mark soon - sometime around 23rd July - WOW!
And we just want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who come and play each week and make this such a fun place to be.
After all that, let's get down to the challenge business again, don't forget there's still lots of time to have a go at the TEXT dare, but just in case you're looking fora little bit of Tuesday temptation........
We've another Retro challenge for this week's Little Extra.
This time we'd like you to find your inspiration in the 1960s.

This is the first time ever that I've done anything for DCM. I had to make a commissioned card this afternoon, featuring Cliff and his 'Congratulations' which dates back to 1968, so I hope it qualifies. It can be found at: www.craftyhazelnut.blogspot.com
