Streamlining Scrap Around The World for 2015!

Hello again!  Today is usually the day that we announce our winners.

We have made a change to our schedule going forward & we will be

announcing our winners on the 8th of each month in future.

This may seem like a long time when you are waiting, but for us it

has been very difficult to get the winner's post done & out by the 4th

of each month & to do so is unnecessarily stressful all round.

If you have ever wondered about our voting process this is how

things work :-  Once the challenge has closed approximately

a quarter of our team {6 ladies} compile their votes & send them

in to me within 2 days {we have a rotating voting schedule}.

This is because voting is no easy task & takes around 2 hours!!

Once I receive all votes I draw up a table & transcribe all the

numbers into one place (everyone assigns points from 10 to 1).

I then add up all the points & compile the post from there.

As we receive a large amount of entries within the last few days of 

closing, voting can only start on the 1st & the DT cannot drop

 everything to get their votes to me within 48 hours as at times

the end of the month may coincide with the weekend.

 With such a high standard of work from our entrants & so many

entries we want to be able to study EVERY entry & not rush

through the process so have decided it is best all round to 

to have 4 days to get the votes in & a couple of days for me

to tally everything up then get the information necessary

passed on to Rachael who in turn will need a couple of days

to create the Wall of Fame along with the post!

This year I will not be writing all of the posts myself 

& the posting team will be fully responsible for them. 

Scrap Around The World is a great place to run but I have

never wanted it to be my only achievement & have a number

of other endeavours on my agenda this year, so thanks to

these capable ladies for helping me out until June!
