April has finally arrived!! This means spring is one day closer, birds are popping out to say hello, rain drops will begin to fall, and flowers will begin to blossom. Our team challenge last month was a HUGE success and we had the most participation ever. As we did last month, the Newsletter for the team will be posted here on our blog and also in our discussions; we will no longer be sending private convos to every member. Please be sure to check here regularly for updates, announcements, and more information to get you through the month!
DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK THE APRIL MERCHANDISING DESK FROM ETSY. Many of us do not pay attention to this little newsletter that Etsy puts out. But heres the truth...your store gets high ratings, sales, and even a chance to make it to Etsy's coveted Front Page. Don't miss out, go and read up on April's trends. GO THERE NOW!

APRIL NEWSLETTER
WELCOME APRIL! We would like to bring you up to date on some of the membership requirements and new things that are happening on our team.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Just as a reminder, our team has only 2 requirements:
1) You MUST make and sell polymer clay items in your Etsy store.
2) You MUST have no less than 3 clay items listed at all times (unless you are on vacation).
Last month we reminded you to make sure that your store still abided by our 2 rules of the team. This month many of you will be receiving convo's from one of the leaders, as your store is not meeting our 2 requirements. While we would like our team to be a vibrant and happy place to be, we are also asking that each team member go by the rules we have established as part of the do. By the end of the month, EVERY STORE will be undergoing a status review. What this means is that ALL stores will be gone through to make sure that you have at least 3 listings made from polymer clay. If it is found that your store does not, you will be sent a conversation reminding you to add your new creations to your store. As of May 1, if we have not heard back fro you in response to the email that we have sent, your store will be removed from the team. Once you have corrected your store to fit in with our requirements, you can reapply and rejoin the team and we will welcome you back with open arms!
Brief update on what will be going on for this year, 2011.
Each month we will be challenging our team members in several ways. At the end of each month, the results will be posted on the team blog and on the captain's blog. Each month will we ask (not require) each member to do the following:
These are our items for this month, April:
- TREASURY: Create a treasury with any theme you choose using ONLY PCETeam members. You MUST include the team tag "pceteam" on the treasury.
- STRETCH YOURSELF CHALLENGE: Create an item that has something to do with "April Showers / Rainy Day" See the discussion on our team page for details and ideas.

Thank you so much for the new newsletter! I am so sorry about this last month. I have no idea where it went.
I never featured anyone or did a treasury!
I will really try to do better this week!
I hope to be more active this month.
Poe - we're glad to have you as part of the time. With all the challenged and the treasury and blog opportunities, we hope to make a BIG IMPACT with the PCETeam and get the art of Polymer Clay out into the world with a BANG! I can't wait to see what you're going to create this month. HAPPY CLAYING!
