As you might know we recently put out a Design Team Call because we wanted to expand here at Ready-Teddy-Go.

We had a fantastic response and I was humbled to find so many very talented crafters wanted to come and join us.

We were initially looking for 6 crafters  but it was a difficult task for my team and me to select just 6 so we grew our numbers by 8 new members.

 The skills of those who threw their hat into the ring was so high and their blogs were so entertaining.  

Cream always rises to top doesn't it and their talent shone through

So this morning, I am so pleased and excited to introduce the first four new DT members in their own words.

We've 'adopted' them into our RTG family already but they won't 'go-live' with their first projects until July.

Hi.  My name is Sharon King. 

I am 46 and married to Nigel and we have 4 beautiful children,Samuel,Hannah,Rachel & Adam.  

I work full time as a teaching assistant at the local school, working with Special Needs children. 

I have been crafting since the age of 4 when my mum taught me to knit.

I started card-making about 5 years ago. I love all types of  techniques stamping,decoupage, CD crafting etc. 

I am so chuffed to be joining the team and look forward to sharing my crafting journey with you all.

Hello, my name is Kelly Lloyd. 

I am 30 years old and married to My best friend Steve. 

We have two beautiful little boys Harley aged 7 and Ronnie aged 4.  I also have two step sons Aaron (17) and Joe (14). 

I'm a stay at home mum but do pop into hubby's garage a few times a week to look after the paperwork side of the business. 

I have always loved paper and pens etc.  but only started making cards after making my own wedding invites in 2007.  It was there that the real addiction started. 

I started blogging in 2011 and can honestly say I don't know how I lived without it lol..

I'm so happy to be joining the team

Hello Everyone, my name is Sue.

I am happily married and have three wonderful teenage children who I'm so proud of and mean the world to me. 

We live in West Sussex which is on the South Coast of England.

I have always enjoyed everything and anything crafty and now my children are a bit older I have more 'me' time to spend doing something I love. 

My main passion is card making, I love colouring, but I'll try my hand at most things!

I am thrilled to be joining such a fabulous and friendly team.

Hi my name is Judith, I’m married to my childhood sweetheart  and live  on the coast in the North East of England – I just couldn't imagine ever not living near to the beach. 

I have a daughter and two sons and I’m also Grandma to a gorgeous little  boy- Jacob born in December 2011.  

I work part time for a government department and generally enjoy my job.    

I have always just loved to craft and I have been making cards for around 7 years - I spend all my spare time colouring, cutting and sticking – at least that’s the way my husband sees it!  

I’m just thrilled to bits to be part of this talented design team and look forward to the start of each new Ready Teddy month!

Aren't they fantastic?  I just know they are going to be such an inspiration to us all.

I know you shouldn't wish away your life but I really can't wait for July to be here.

I hope you will join me in warmly welcoming them to the
