This Week at Christian Paper Crafts
8. Journal on Wednesday and Saturday with Lynn.
All of our challenges are designed for all paper crafters so that everybody can participate.
Let's congratulate Jonia Smith (Grammy) as the winner of our Gina K. Designs blog hop. This blog hop was a tremendous success and we now have 76 new members as a result. What a blessing!
For Our New Members
Because of the Gina K. Designs blog hop last week, we've had 76 new members sign up. Again, this is such a blessing to us. However, if you signed up just to participate in the hop, I would ask that you delete your membership unless you plan to continue to participate at Christian Paper Crafts. I know this sounds awful, but I have to keep accurate stats for advertisers and sponsoring vendors. Another thing that I discovered this week was that people had to sign up in order to view the gallery and I didn't know that requirement was set. It has now been removed so that everybody, even if you are not a member, can view the gallery at any time. I also know that we have a lot of lurkers out there as well. I would ask that you make at least 10 posts or gallery comments a month so that the system won't "purge" your user name (a polite way of saying 'delete'). Again, this is to help me keep accurate stats. If you choose to delete your membership, I completely understand. I would like to assure you, however, that the gallery is open for your viewing and most importantly, the Bible study and the rest of the boards are also open for your viewing. You just won't be able to make posts or comments in the gallery. We would love for all of you to participate and become an active member of our community.

Christian Paper Crafts counts on the generous support of our members at the present time for server space, ongoing maintenance, and general operational costs. We all know who really provides for us and that is Jesus Christ.
I've recently received a lot of private messages from members about somebody by the name of "Serendipity" sending you a private message of "Hey, I'm new here, how's it going?" Their signature line referred you to a new age website. I've deleted this member, banned his ISP, and all of the e-mail addresses that he uses to sign up at websites. Our software is about 98.5% accurate in catching these people, but this guy slipped through and I apologize for any upset or inconvenience this may have caused you.
Bible Believer Profile Badge
Our February "Bible Believer" profile badge will be available from February 1-15. It's a cute one, so be sure to get yours! Please take a look at all of the available Profile Badges and pick yours.
I would also like to thank and welcome a new King's Daughter, GCgirl67!
Navigating Your Way Around CPC
If you have any questions at all, please ask them in the Feedback & Questions section of the board. We're upgrading software and trying to fine tune the place a bit, so please be patient with us. Your suggestions are always welcome. One thing that's totally important is when you sign up, you will receive an e-mail to activate your account. If you do not respond to this e-mail, you will not be able to log-in. Be sure to check your Junk E-Mail folder for this activation link. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, please do not contact me as I will not be able to remove you. There is a link at the very bottom of this newsletter where you can unsubscribe.
Every week, I'm going to try to have an organization tip for you. This week, I don't have one because I've been painting and it's been an incredibly, busier than usual week. If you have one that you'd like to share, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to include it in this newsletter.
The next HOPE 2010 Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers will be on Friday, January 22. I was very pleased with the response to the challenge and look forward to it growing and using this opportunity to share God's Word. This is a biweekly challenge and we'll be doing a lot of fun things. Please join us!
Vendor Sponsors
The design team and I have decided that we're going to do bimonthly vendor sponsors rather than monthly. A tremendous amount of work and coordination goes into these events and when you only have a couple of weeks to do your projects, etc., we felt that the vendors weren't getting our best and they deserve our best, and so do you!
