Garden Members of The Month
By Bonnie




CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE GARDEN MEMBERS OF THE MONTH!!

Staff Member of the Month
This month's staff member is one who is an absolute delight! She's a busy busy fae who has kept her garden aflutter while the head fae has been on LOA. Many of our guestbooks are sprinkled by her magic dust, and she spreads happiness amongst the rest of her fairy circle. Because she's so dedicated to keeping the joy of the fae visits going in her garden, we have selected Fairy Princess Cindi for this month's Staff Member of the Month! Thank you so much for keeping your sister faes busy and happy, Cindi!!!

Our December SMOTM is a hard working garden member. She's not only a vital part of her groups, but also has accepted responsibility for copyright assistance and detection within her groups. This type of dedication is so important when we are trying to be more copyright aware!! We're so happy to announce that Heidi, of the Designing Garden and the Garden of the Fae, is our December SMOTM!!!

Hugs,
WOSIB CoLeaders

CRITTERS
Congratulations to our Critter Keeper of the Month....Destiny! Destiny is a wonderful lady who always takes a moment to pass on the things that touch her life. Whether it is a funny joke, a fascinating bit of news or an interesting idea, Destiny takes the time to share it with the rest of the Garden. We always know we can count on her to respond to conversations and inquiries and let us know we arent all alone out here in cyber space.


FAE
Our award is giving each month to a fae who shows excellence in dustings!

In October we gave this honor to one of our newest fae. This little Fae lives among the lilacs in the garden. Her dustings were as sparkling as she is.

Quilters
I have chosen Jan to be the Quilter of the month for November. Although she probably deserves it as Quilter of the Year. She is my right arm and I just don't know what I would do without her. She is always there taking care of keeping the pages uploaded and up to date and keeps activities going in the Quilters Garden along with so many other things that I just cannot begin to tell you. Thank you Jan, my Head Assistant and my dear friend for always being there and always with a sweet disposition and smile on your face and a yes when asked to do something. You are appreciated so very much. You can see Jan's beautiful site at http://jansdesigns.com/familyandfriends/.
Thank you again Jan for all you do.

For our December 2007 Quilter of the Month I have chosen Sue. She is a long time member of the Quilters Garden and she is always there to do what is asked of her even though she is a very busy lady working a very demanding job. She always gets her assignments up on time and whenever a member requests a new quilt square in the Garden, she makes sure she adds to their quilt. Thank you Sue for being such a long time active member in The Quilters Garden. We appreciate members of your caliber. You can visit Sue's pages at http://suewintz.tripod.com

SIGNATURES Of DISTINCTION
Once again we have a tie for the honour of Tagger of the Month - both members achieving a total of 22 credits for October.

christina@wosib.org
http://poeticreflections.co.nr/

Christina has been a long-time and active member of SOD since joining several years back. When first joining it was to snag and request tags, but in the last couple of years we have watch Christina grow from a Snagger into a thriving and well-sought after Tagger, one of our most popular. She took over as Head Tagger in July after a few hiccups with staff and the transition from group to Garden, but her love for PSP and creating shines through her work, and with the help of her two assistants, continues to build the strength of SOD.

Acinny
acinny@runbox.com
http://www.acinny.com/

Once again awarded this honour for the second month running, Acinny has been a go-getter from the beginning! Always taking part in whatever challenges put forth, Acinny continues to display a fervent enjoyment for tag-making and creating. Her CotW results have been nothing if not awesome, and she ALWAYS takes part. Aside from that, her demeanour is candid and friendly and she is a real pleasure to have in SOD.

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

We also have a tie for Snagger of the Month

Julie
panda6832000@yahoo.com

Once again awarded the honour of Snagger of the Month, Julie has made a concerted effort to contribute to the Garden in whatever capacity she is able. As she isn't a tagger, her participation is limited to TotW (Tube of the Week Tube Sharing, based on the monthly theme) and snagging tags for other members, which she has made every effort to do so. It's not easy being limited when there are those around you more able to share their own creations, but Julie does not let this deter her. She continues to participate to the best of her ability - a wonderful asset to our corner of Snaggers.

Dawnie
maud_12@bigpond.net.au

While Dawnie has had a few hiccups in getting a handle on the new way of doing things in SOD, she still continues to make every effort to participate to the best of her ability also. The whole transition to a Garden has been a learning for all staff and members alike, but Dawnie continues to take part and therefore becoming more familiar. She has been a real trooper and has not let her limited capacity deter her. But most surprising of all, Dawnie - a Snagger - participated in one of our CotWs this week...a simple beginners one...and submitted her own creation through the list. Of this, she deserves a standing ovation! Snaggers are not required to do the CotWs, but we were most impressed with her stepping up to the challenge....and succeeding!


TLC
Our member of the month is a very dear lady who is always sending very sweet emails, signing guestbooks to our sissys in need.. Our TLC motm is Joanne!!
Congrats dear..
