CT Call Probs

[kendallt]

Whenever I apply for a CT call, there's always this completely irrational, panicky voice in my head that thinks, "What if there was a glitch, and my application didn't go through?!" Even though I know the chances of that happening are slim to none, I can't help being paranoid. Please tell me I'm not the only overthinking, delusional weirdo out there! :p

[jumbbumble]

I am exactly the same like you kendall , I am always worries they don't get them .so totally not weird . But at the moment i don't apply anymore or it much be one of my dream ct's lol

[Valgal]

My acceptance email from Traci Reed went to my spam box and I had no idea I got in, lol! I don't remember how I caught it. So right now I'm checking all my boxes, just to be safe ;)

[emmasmommy]

nope. I freak out. immediately.

I had it happen once that they didn't get it. I'm glad I followed up before the call closed.

Eeek! Now, I'm feeling like my paranoia is justified!

[Valgal]

I didn't follow up. I never even thought about it! I got that confirmation message so I didn't consider freaking out TILL NOW. Thanks a lot!

[Sweeet]

YEAH, thanks ALOT! LOL Who did you send your email to...I should do the same...egadz... :p:cursing:

I have gone as far as checking the staff photos to see if maybe they snuck in our photos since the questionnaire and photo was part of the app process...ya never know right?

[mrsashbaugh]

I think it's normal to feel this way when applying for a dream team. I keep wondering if they will send out an email letting us know we did or did not get in or if we will just find out in the newsletter/blog. This week seems to be going extremely slow lol.

Sorry to make you girls worry, but hey...misery loves company, right? ;)

[icindi]

LOL. Checked staff page too! I'm not good at waiting but the paranoia of my email not going through has not been a problem. Overthinking favorite layouts and responses to questions, yup, do that. Hey, being really excited/concerned just shows how important it is to you (us), right? You (we) take these things seriously!

[chastml]

I always think that it didn't go through. Then, when I get that anxiety out of my head, I worry that I didn't get the email from them saying yes or no. And I worry about that until I finally get the email, or I see the list online. This might be one of the reasons I don't apply to many calls. Only the dream teams are worth the anxiety. ;)

[Saar]

I feel the same way.

[Robin Carlton]

Just wanted to let you girls know that we did get all of the applications. It's a 3rd party site that I have access to and everyone is recorded there so email is taken out of the equation. If you got the confirmation screen, you should be good to go!

That said.... soooo many amazing scrappers applied. Over 60 made the deadline, so we have our work cut out for us and it may still be a few more days before we make any announcements!

Thank you sooooo much for applying to be on the Babe team - this year's apps are seriously incredible!

Thanks for reassuring us, Robin!

And cheers to me not being the only nutcase overthinker! :D

[Valgal]

60???? Oh holy crap.

[Saar]

Thank you for giving us a heads up Robin.

Wow 60!!
That's a LOT! Good luck with making some hard decisions.

[mrsashbaugh]

Thanks Robin for letting us know! That is a ton of apps!

[anelia]

60 is a lot indeed. This is going to be a hard decision!!! Thanks for letting us know, Robin.

[Sweeet]

Thanks for letting us know Robin. I was guessing about 50 apps LOL....

I wouldn't want to have to decide..good luck! :cursing:

[KingsQueen82]

Thanks for the update Robin! :)

[YepBrook]

Yeah... 60 is a lot of apps. Especially since we only need like... 1 more new Babe.



:D KIDDING.

[KingsQueen82]

Brook! You know you just gave half of us a heart attack right?! :blink:

[ellasspace]

:D KIDDING.

ROTF love this... I love messing with people too (right Cassie lol)

[KingsQueen82]

Yes, and I am way too gullible! :o

[NellahBean]

:D KIDDING.

Hahahaha! Oh man. Just about gave me heart failure. :p Thanks for keeping us in the loop ladies!

[anelia]

Haha, I always appreciate humor but I admit my heart skipped a beat. Brook, that was a nice one though! :D

[mrsashbaugh]

Yeah... 60 is a lot of apps. Especially since we only need like... 1 more new Babe.



:D KIDDING.

haha...yea I about died!

[YepBrook]

:o I've been there before!!! LOL For both a Babe and a Designer application, so I'm allowed to tease. ;) :wub: I know you all are probably going insane from waiting! Hang in there.

[Libby Pritchett]

Even though we haven't made any decisions yet, I wanted to share that when I first applied to be a Babe, I didn't get chosen. So, I know how that stings.

Don't give up though! It was because of that Babe app that Robin invited me to be on her personal CT. Then a few months later, a Babe spot opened, and I was invited. Soon after that I started designing.

So, no matter what may come of this, please don't read anything into whether or not you get chosen. We can't possibly take on 60 new Babes, so we have to make some really tough decisions. You all rock!!!

[bcgal00]

Wow...60, huh.....not surprising but sure is nerve wracking knowing there is soooo much competition. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to decide b/c everyone is really talented.

[jumbbumble]

Wow 60 that is a lot . I bet it much be a teribble thing to say yes or no to all this awesome scrappers

[Valgal]

Yeah... 60 is a lot of apps. Especially since we only need like... 1 more new Babe.



:D KIDDING.

[Neverland Scraps]

yikes, I never thought about that, but I sure will think about it right now any other time I press submit/send!! :O

[fifilur]

I always worry I missed something och made misstake typing my email adress or... something.

60 apps sure is a lot!!!

[icindi]

Yeah... 60 is a lot of apps. Especially since we only need like... 1 more new Babe.



:D KIDDING.

LOL You got me too for a second! So glad you added kidding!!!

[LeeAndra]

I applied to be a Babe (and got nicely rejected) FIVE TIMES. F-I-V-E.

I am obviously hard-headed. :p :D

A year after the last time I applied, I got a PM from Robin... and the rest is (very recent) history.

I know it is so, so, so hard to not take it personally but your 'no' may just be a 'not yet,' KWIM?

BTW, the Babes don't know who is being chosen, either, so we are anxious to find out, too!

:hugs::hugs::hugs:

5??? :crying: Aww, crap. I'm doomed.

[nietis]

Reading this thread is making me more nervous!!
Man, I am going insane! Every time my phone tells me there is a new email in the inbox, I become jumpy!

Paranoia to the max here...

Thank you for the update and reassurance, though, Robin! :wub:

And, Brookie, that IS a nice one! My heart skipped a beat!

[misfitinmn]

Can I just say that you 60 ladies who applied completely ROCK for putting yourself out there and taking a chance on your dream gig?! :wub::wub::wub:

[nietis]

And to go through the waiting agony! Oh, we're all mad here!

[misfitinmn]

Believe me, I UNDERSTAND!!! :wub: Sending you guys lots of hugs because I know the stress of waiting is TOUGH!

[Saar]

Thank you for all your kind words about the waiting and rejections ladies!

[breakingbrie]

Wow, that's a lot of apps to go through! Good luck on narrowing it down!

I was so excited to apply to Zoe's guest call once... I sent my app only halfway done, then resent finished, only to realize it still wasn't complete. So I had to send a third time. I was sure she'd think I was such an airhead for that! :D Ended up getting a guest spot out of that, much to my surprise :wub:

[biancka]

Yeah... 60 is a lot of apps. Especially since we only need like... 1 more new Babe.



:D KIDDING.

:crying: :huh: :blink: :o

:D :D :D

[Willemijne DSI]

Oh my gosh, yes, we had so many great applications! I can imagine the waiting is very hard and I'm that kind of person as well that keeps checking their mail and can't think about anything else :)

In case you won't make it on the team this time, just try not to be discouraged too much. The most important thing is that you keep documenting your memories and who knows, maybe next time you will become a babe! <3

[kristalund]

wow 60!?
thanks for the update!! i can't wait for the announcement!!

[JillW]

good luck ladies! ❤ :wub:

Thanks Ana!! I know there are a lot of ladies anxiously awaiting some sort of news!!! :w00t:

[Saar]

Thank you Ana! <3

[olivesparrow]

I get paranoid too... although Im not waiting for a response from the Babe call like the rest of you so I can relax! haha.

So can't wait to see who gets picked though! Good luck everyone :wub:

[~Cindy~]

I applied to be a Babe (and got nicely rejected) FIVE TIMES. F-I-V-E.

If you remember how many times you have applied, you're doing so much better than me!

[MommaTrish]

I was rejected so.many.times.
I like to think that I just eventually wore them down.

[meagan43]

60 amazing applications! I don't envy having to go through them all.
I have been waiting on pins and needles.

[jnac916]

oh my that is a LOT of applications....I am glad I am not in on the process of choosing...

[Nikki Epperson]

every single time I apply for a call, lol

[craftytam]

Oh my goodness! I guess I should say that I'm in amazing company being on pins and needles! I've been checking my email constantly! 60 is a lot to go through... take your time ;)

[olivesparrow]

Hahaha love it! Might attach it to the email next time I apply for a ct call!

Also theres a few designers here I'm dyyyyying to be on the teams of, so if whoever gets picked wants to free up space for me, that would be super ;)

[bcgal00]

Oh Nikki...thanks for the laugh LOL. Big hugs to everyone (including myself) who have been waiting.

[chastml]

I'm excited to see who gets picked. There are so many of you who would be amazing Babes.

[bcgal00]

Mandy....that is soooo true! Everyone deserves a spot!

[oscaralley]

I know it's too late now, but I tried to send the application in and it wouldn't submit. I have NO idea what I was doing wrong. I did send a couple of message to the "contact" us tab and haven't heard of anyone. It was questions about hybrid. Thanks so much...Tanya

[Robin Carlton]

Hi Tanya!

I just found your messages in my spam folder after reading your note here. Yahoo hates my messages and apparently my inbox isn't font of yahoo either because it chucked your message there and I seriously get more spam than is possible to even sift through most days so I missed it!

I'm not sure why the wufoo app was giving you trouble as it's an offsite webform that works in any browser, but I replied to you about your question via email nonetheless so keep your eyes open for it and let me know if you haven't received it.

Look forward to seeing more hybrid projects from ya!

Robin
