3. Post a comment here on the blog with a link to your treasury - your treasury will not be judged unless you have posted it below in the comments.
4. Put a link to this blog post in the comments of the treasury - this helps others find the challenge and enter.

Welcome, New Members! (Pt 3)

Hi, friends! This is the final installment of our welcome for the "new years" new members. You can find the first two posts here and here. These are the members that we added at the beginning of this bright, new year, and we are so happy to have them! Personally, I've felt a lot more connected with my lovely team members in the last few months, and I definitely give our wonderful leaders credit for that. I hope that our new members feel the same sense of warmth and community!

And without further delay, here are our last two wonderful new members. Let's once again welcome them with a big ole hug! *squeeeeeze*

Teammie Biography Treasury Thursday - Som

Hey y'all, it's that time again. Time for another Teammie Treasury Thursday. This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Som from somsstudiosupplies.  I was inspired by som's Full first name- Somdutta. It means "Gift of the moon." I love word origins so the fact that she shared that with me really got my gears going! I was also inspired by one of her favorite items in her shop, these Blue Topaz Briolettes! The slightly crescent moon shape of them is so beautiful!

I hope y'all enjoyed this week's treasury and feel you got to know Som a little better.
