Or as you say lack of product is a mojo killer.

Your post is really thought-provoking and brings up some things that I wouldn't have thought of. Most importantly, WHY do I want to be on Company X's DT. Usually I apply because I really like their products and free stuff is a powerful lure. Is that enough though? I'll remember to question that in the future.

Also the ones that do give product on a regular basis are the ones that inspire you the most. I have made so many friends through the DTs I have been on and i can't believe how much i have grown since i first started in 2013. It has been hard work and it will continue to be but how far will it push me in the next few years? That and i now have a full craftroom.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295284160415855308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846614372200060269.post-25377512515223577702016-06-02T19:21:41.024+01:002016-06-02T19:21:41.024+01:00Really good post Katy..it made very interesting re...Really good post Katy..it made very interesting reading. I have only been on one small DT which was lovely and I really enjoyed the experience. Anna is right you do need faith in your own ability..which I don't have and the other thing that scares me about asking to join teams is what we have to use and the time constraints. x Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846614372200060269.post-45138464629867041162016-06-02T17:00:07.249+01:002016-06-02T17:00:07.249+01:00What a unique and beautifully written post Katy......What a unique and beautifully written post Katy...I agree totally with every point you have made!!<br />Cheers<br /><a href="http://cardsandschoolprojects.blogspot.in" rel="nofollow">Dr Sonia </a>Dr Sonia S Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521277849861402377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846614372200060269.post-67107856915392452842016-06-02T16:13:12.239+01:002016-06-02T16:13:12.239+01:00Very interesting.
