It seems that there are some designers who are getting antsy here. I have been busy this morning working on a new banner and a new blinkie to share but they are getting impatient with me. (what's new, you say?)
So, here is the new blinkie (that doesn't blink LOL) that I just finished for anyone who would like it. (Just right click and save it to your computer)

Now, I once again want to thank each and every one of you who applied for the CPS Design Team. I wish I could have taken all 100+ of you! Please keep sharing your amazing designs though, because like I said before...you never know what we might have up our sleeves next ;)
Now, before they explode from the excitement....
HERE are the five new CPS design team members!!! Each of their names will link to their personal blogs so you can visit, say hello and see just how truly amazing they are.
