  ANNOUNCEMENT

A Fond Farewell to A Beloved Design Team Member

All crafters go through their own crafting journeys, and while it is difficult to part with a friend, we look forward to continuing to keep up with her no matter what is in store for her in the future!

Today marks a fond farewell to Marie, our gifted designer. We express our gratitude for the stunning projects she has contributed throughout the past year and extend our heartfelt wishes for her future ventures. We are confident that her talents will lead her to great success in all her endeavors.

For those who wish to stay connected, you can find Marie on her Instagram and her blog.

Before we part ways, let's take one last look at some of Marie's remarkable creations

UPDATES

Hello, crafters!

As we wrap up February, I wanted to take a moment to share the important dates for the remainder of this month and the upcoming March challenge.

For February 2025, the inLinkz will close at 12:00 PM (CST) on the 28th. The winners and top 3 will be announced at 12:00 AM (midnight) on February 28th. Our March challenge will go live at 6:00 AM on March 1st.

Just a quick note—Makira, your challenge host, has a full schedule like many of us. She has a full-time brick-and-mortar job, homeschools high school, tutors college calculus & physics, and tries to keep up with college "kids" while organizing these challenges. Life, of course, can throw curveballs (like a sick child and another in a car accident—yes, both happened this week), so please understand there may be occasional hiccups in the schedule. If you notice any errors or delays in posts, your patience and kindness would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be on it as fast as possible to correct it.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best,

Makira
