EGGERS OF THE WORLD --- we would love to hear from you! In the original egger plan hatched by a group of us old hens, we wanted to point out on the blog a few people who have caught our eye in this digi scrapping community. Not to single them out, not to praise them up and down, not to make them the winners of the popularity contest (because there isn't one to win, remember???? If not, re read lesson one...)
Simply - we were trying to find a way to bring to the forefront, those who are sometimes hiding in the shadows. Because beauty grows in the shadows too - you just have to look really close for it. So we were trying to show you all the shadows basically with our original plan.
well - we are all good eggs here, so we try to learn from "constructive criticism" that has been passed down on the egger sentiment. To that degree - we are torn about what to do with our egger mission.
So we want to hear from YOU - the eggers.
Would you like to see a good egg highlighted here on a regular, or not so regular basis? What do you want to know about that egg?
OR - would that make you feel like this WAS just another digi-clique.
Because truly, that is not, never was, and never will be the intention of the eggers. ENCOURAGEMENT is what we're all about.
We just wanted to find a way to encourage some people we know have been sort of down.
We have talked to a few eggers out there - and it seems to be pretty much divided down the middle. Not helping! We original eggers are divided down the middle ourselves!!! ( IN a good way!!!) WE are cracked in half!!!
So please - tell us your thoughts. What do you want to see more of on this blog? Do you WANT to know more about your fellow eggers?
Do you have an egger entry you would like to submit?
LET US KNOW!!!!

OR - you can just leave us a comment here. It all gets to where it needs to go eventually.
So thanks! Thanks for egging it on and egging it forward.
While you are mulling over our thoughts above - we egger challenge you!!!
Egger Challenge #2
Go find TEN layouts in any gallery by someone you have never interacted with - a TOTAL stranger to you. Maybe they are new to digi scrapping, or just new to that gallery. Or maybe they have been there a while but you just don't recognize the name. LEave a comment on TEN layouts. That are new to you. Look at them. What can you learn from them> What caught your eye and made you open that one in the first place? Was it a cute photo? Maybe it was their kit choice...maybe it was just a very simple layout. Soak each one in, and try to draw from it something you yourself can use in your scrapping. Challenge yourself to see something new.
We hope you enjoy this challenge.
Then let us know how it goes. Was it harder than you thought? Easier maybe? Did you discover anything new about a technique, or maybe about yourself and your own scrapping style? Or maybe you just left comments on ten new layouts - either way
CONGR-EGG-u-LATIONS!!!
Keep it eggin!

Totally sounds like a rockin' idea! Hmmm... 10? I can do that before bed. Off to get it done!

I'm on it too!!!
Loved the 10 LO challenge! It was much easier than I thought. What did I discover... some new uses for word art in a kit I own...to try and scrap more everyday moments... that the LO's that don't immediately catch my eye can be beautiful when the thumbnail is opened.
Had heaps of fun... keep on egging

I personally would love to see some fellow digiscrappers highlighted here, especially if they are ones that I might not get to know otherwise. Nothing makes me happier (well...almost!) than "meeting" someone new and being able to recognize them on the message boards. We all have stories, and I want to know more of them!
I think this challenge is WONDERFUL and purposeful. Thank you egger matriarach (or whoever the heck you are :). I plan to do this right away. I shall report back, blinkie in tow.
Sent you an email!! Love the challenge too!
Just found this blog today. I love it! Off to do the challenge!
Fantastic dare! I think I'm heading to 2 peas, where I'm going to go to the LAST page of the gallery and find a LO that has no praise and do 10 from there. As far as the egger spotlight goes, remember that no matter what you do, you will never make everyone happy. I think if you want to highlight someone, you should. I always tell my kids, life isn't fair, but somehow things come out pretty equal in the end. Love and support--eggcellent.
I just found this site and even though I'm a paper scrapper and not a digi one, I'm still going to do this challenge. Being a SAHM it is easy to feel unloved and unwanted if you don't get any recognition for the things that I put so much hard work and effort into (and I'm not talking just scrapping!). Thanks for bringing these issues into the forefronts of our minds and making us realise "we are not alone"!!!
Great challenge - I vow to accomplish it before the day comes to an end and my head comes to rest on my pillow. :)
I would love to see 'unknown' digi-scrappers showcased here. It can be frustrating at times to work hard and not get noticied. :)
I love that you spotlight scrappers out in the online community and give us a chance to get to know them all a little better :) I would love to know a little more about the person you select, just some basics would be great and maybe a link to their gallery?
Love the new challenge too and I'm hoping to get to it today ;)
Oh just found this blog today and have really enjoyed readding back through the posts.... and I LOVED this challenge. I am totally into the 'pay it forward' kind of mentality at the moment and anythingthat motivates me to spread the joy is a good thing! great job!
Hey - lovin' this egger thing! The challenges are a great idea - and yeah - everyone os special out there in digi-world - some are not as well known than others - but all deserve a special mention.
