Gutter Girlz: March 2009

3.30.2009

Mar. 30th, Prompt 20

Hey gang!! How's it hangin'? We've been kicking it at the new pad on Ning, and loving it there!! If you haven't joined already, we sure hope you do!! It's going to be a GREAT place for us to share and get to know each other better!
So I wanted to talk a little bit about all that we are again... GutterGirlz is a group of girlz (that's the name) who got it in their heads that scrapping isn't ALWAYS about niceness, and politeness. Sometimes, it's about sharing yourself. Sometimes it's about going to that dark place, and once in a while, it's about getting all dirty in the gutter. What the gutter means for each of us is different. Once in a while, we might not even FEEL all that guttery. THAT'S ok too!! Here in the gutter, it's our goal to allow ALL of us, boy OR girl, to share the place that we are at NOW. It's not about keeping a memory alive for 100 years with acid free. It's about using what you FEEL and enjoying the process. Thanks so much to each and every one of you who GET that. For the comments you share between each other, and the time and energy you put into OUR site. Because what we do here, is a big deal!! We got to where we are without ANY advertising. Just word of mouth. Because of YOU. So thanks. We love you!!

Mar. 15th, Prompt 19

It's CRAZY ass weeks like this week, that I'm SO happy that I'm not the only girl in the clubhouse. It's been a madhouse of STUFF this week, and I have to admit. This prompt was one I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to DO!! But... instead. I did TAXES. THAT, my friends, is the SUCK. But they are DONE and I don't have to pay, and even though I didn't get to play, WE HAVE WINNERS and we have PROMPTS!!
AND we have FORUM.

Visit GutterGirlz
Be SURE you check out the new forum!! A place to share photos, chat, email each other, and really have FUN. It's approved membership only, so you can rest assured that some person who just liked the fact that we have gutter and GIRLZ in the same sentence doesn't just join up.
On that note: A while ago, I took GutterGirlz off of Facebook. This happened when there were some questions about what FB's new Terms of Service meant in terms of ownership of what a person posts there. I didn't, and still do not want you gals to be compromised in that way, and lose ownership of what you create. Facebook has since changed its TOS to better state their intentions, and remove doubt about who owns what gets posted, but I have decided to keep the GG off as a group for now. I'll be sure to let you know if I change that. :) Just wanted you to know why we disappeared there!! We're still tweeting on Twitter, and now, able to post updates to you on ning!

Now onto the WINNING!! This month's guest designer, if she'll have us, is Jenny said... These layouts were great & this challenge just came all together while I was thinking about it yesterday. Thanks assholes
Jenny!! We loved what you did with the challenge, and we want to see more of you in the next two prompts!! Please email me, so we can chat about you joining us as our guest!! :) Guest Designers will also now be highlighted on the NING group!
