The New Pixie Cottage Design Team!

Hello! I thought I should drop by and let everyone know, we have finalized the plans for our new design team.  First of all, I want to thank everyone for applying, I emailed everyone who emailed me with their information as instructed, and let you know of the results. If you just applied by posting here on the blog and did not email me, I did not have an email to send a personal response too, and I apologize but it would have been just too much work to track everyones email down from each of their blogs.
So without further ado, here is our design team for the next 6 months!
