The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC57

We wish all of our US players and visitors a

Very Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so glad you are here!

This past challenge, we celebrated

'Player Appreciation Week'

with three wonderful sponsors.

If you are new to The Cafe, we hope you will

become a follower and even better yet, a player!

We have loads of fun around here!

Before we get to this week's challenge, we have a

Design Team Call Update

As mentioned a couple weeks ago, we had close

to 120 submissions and it's taking us a little bit longer

to get through them all.  As you know, our senior DT

span from the US to the UK, so with time differences, etc

we are taking our time to make sure we really give every

consideration to each applicant...so hang in with us.

We hope to be in touch with each one in the next week or so.

Which brings us to our next bit of news to share....

One of the reasons we issued a DT call was because we

knew some of our girls would be moving on to the new

creative adventures.  Tonight, sadly....we say goodbye to

two amazing designers who have been with us for the

past nine months....

Lisa Somerville 

and 

Suzanne Czosek

These girls have been such a valuable inspiration to

all of our players and will be so missed.  Along with

their wonderful design skills, they have both been

instrumental in bringing new players and sponsors

to The Cafe.  We wish them all the best as they

continue on their creative journey and know they'll

never be too far away.

This week's challenge, which is being hosted

by Senior Designer, Sarah Anderson.

"I love the way old pegs go all browny-grey when
they are weathered and this week's color photo was
a perfect representation of that"

We are happy to welcome another fabby new

sponsor all the way from the UK....
