Leaf,

What are "Stay-cations"?  And what is considered "macro", any close-up subject?

i don't know what a stay-cation is.  it wasn't my idea :)  Perhaps a vacation spot where people live permanently.

Macro - Anything that is taken very close up I suppose.

A stay-cation is a vacation where you stay at home, not to be confused with a nay-cation which is the implicit absence of a vacation. Didn't either of you read Ellen Boughn's blog??  ;)

ahhh, quite right :)  thanks.

I did read her blog quite faithfully actually.  A great read.  I wonder if I hopped over that one though.  Just the first few lines only ever came into the blog reader and I found myself jumping over it sometimes, not realizing which one it was :(

I never read blogs. Am I missing important information?

Do DT blogs help sales?

I put my question unclear. I meant, we can post in DT blog, and I wonder if that helps anything.

Spring and Summer are getting good votes, and if they are chosen, shouldn't we have Autumn and Winter also as well?  These would also be the next targets for designers, if they do buy months in advance.

Leaf, any new lightboxes in plan? I must admit the vote is pretty spread out among different things. Still, we could try to narrow the choices here.

Wow, yeah I totally forgot about this, thanks for the reminder.  I will get to work on these today.
