**ZPD CT Call - A Bit of a Delay**

[Nikki Epperson]

Take your time! We all know it must be a very hard decision -- add on the internet issues... Poor woman!

Thanks for the update!

[lhaslem]

oh, don't worry about it - internet issues are such a pain. Thanks for the update though and Good luck weed through everything else tomorrow!

[LibbysMommy]

Oh you poor thing!! Internet issues are the pits!! Glad you've decided to get some rest!! Good luck choosing!!

[twentytinytoes]

Ugh My internet has been doing that for the past couple weeks and OMG it is SO annoying! It seems like whenever your doing something really important it just shuts off and then comes back on when it feels like it, for about 10 seconds then back off.... like that until you finally give up! I so feel your pain!

Thanks for the update.

I hate computer problems. It seems that computers are a just like men sometimes - We can't live with them, and we can't live without them.

Here's hoping your computer/internet problems go away, and I'll keep crossing my fingers that I get picked. I really, really want to be on your CT. I can't wait to hear from you.

So sorry about your internet issues!! I had problems with mine the other day and it was the day I had some really important things to do online!!! lol! So I spent like an hour on the phone waiting for them to fix it.

Can't wait to see your awesome new team!!!

[cdvcreations]

Thanks for the update. I have a close eye on my email. Computers can be a real pain!

[supertwinkle]

No problem, Zoe, take your time!

[Brooke W]

Oiy, what a huge pain for you, Zoe. Having internet issues is the absolute pits.
I know you'll get done when you're able to, doesn't mean I'm any less interested in finding out,lol.
Good luck; maybe the internet gremlins will take a holiday and you can get through all those applicants galleries

[sugarink]

My goodness, so sorry you're going so much trouble, Zoe! I guess this will just have to teach me to be ~patient~lol!

[nesser1981]

Sorry if all the issues you're having Zoe.

[scarletsierra]

Oh no worries, Zoe! You're thoughtful to update us! Hope everything gets sorted for you soon! GL!!

[Susan Toon]

Oh Zoe..I think we all can sympathize.

[mcardall]

I just got my "no" email. I am really not surprised. The level of talent on this board is AMAZING! But... for those of you still waiting to hear, at least some of the emails have gone out! Congratulations to those of you amazing scrappers who DO make the cut! My shopping list that I put on hold until after the call is back on! Woohoo! Can't wait until July 7th and I can use my Sweet Rewards and get me some Sweet Zoe designs!

[Voodoo_Bryn]

Oh, no, Mer, if you got a no, that could be bad news for me, you're an awesome scrapper.

[brooke22]

Awww man!! See, this is why I hate this part of the job

Sweetie, don't take it personally, k? You know, I had sooooo SOOOOO many applicants, and as I said before about 99% of them were in the Yes pile - and YOURS was one of them... I really take calls seriously, and that's why I avoid them at all costs!! I hate all the disappointment that it causes... It's just so hard to decide, and I mean it when I say that I wish I could take everyone on, but unfortunately I just can't

And that goes for everyone who got the dreaded 'no' letter too! Please don't think that it's because you're not "good enough" or anything like that!! In fact, it's exactly the opposite! There were so many that I had to let go and they were this close to getting in... I'm sorry And, I meant it when I said that I'm going to be keeping those applications on hand for the next time I'm looking to add new members.

On a brighter note Invitations for the successful applicants have been sent! Yippee!! FINALLY!! So, check your inbox girls! I've checked and double checked that I've responded to everyone on the list, but if you applied and you haven't received a response, please don't hesitate to contact me

Man, my wrists are hurtin' today from all the typing/scrolling I've been doing - LOL!! On that note I'm going to pour myself a nice Rum & Coke and wash the day away

Thanks again everyone who applied, and for your patience with me! I truly appreciate that you took the time to share your art with me... For those of you who didn't make it this time, please don't be too disappointed I can't stress that enough...

ETA - I'll be posting the list of who made it on the team once I hear back from everyone!

Brooke, I totally understand how you feel right now because I've been there, but don't give up! It took time for me to get my groove on, too! Before I knew it, I was invited to become a part of a CT and felt more confident in applying for others which now I'm part of 3 CT's. And also, "be careful what you ask for, cuz you just might get it all" as the saying goes. Sometimes I wonder, "How am I gonna handle doing all this?" It really takes some initiative and responsibility to remember what assignments are required and their deadlines for each CT. I was never someone who kept track of things, but now I do. But on a general note, just keep doing what you're doing and if you love it that much, your time WILL come sweetie!

As for Zoe's call, I got a 'NO' letter too but it was so worth the try! At least, I know she got to know me a little and have my file in case there's another opportunity, ya never know! Congrats to all who made it, I'm excited to find out!

Sorry for the long post!
