Hello everyone!

Groups are the big new talk these days and I'm thinking of turning the club into a group. We're not as busy as we once were and a couple of our features have changed or have been removed, so I think a group format will work best for us.

If you have anything to say about groups, plus or negative, let me know by responding to this journal, okay? The format of the club will change, but it should remain similar to what we have right now, but I still like to know what you have to say. Oh, and leave me links to any group you belong to or know of so that I can take a look-see at what they've done.



I have no more news, so enjoy this bi-monthly feature.

Congratulations to ~a-cat01 for being selected our Member Of The Week! You should visit the gallery and give some love and support.

I want to thank our members who sent in new submissions for me to add to our gallery and to the MEMBERS COLLECTION. In addition, I want to thank those of you who sent in some found hearts (thank you, thank you, thank you!).

This club can't exist without it's members, so please take the time to send in new or old heart theme deviations. If each of us does so even once a month, this club can continue being one of the few theme clubs that has been going strong for over 4 years!

Let's not only be about the Found Hearts feature. Let's be about the members and it's wonderful gallery. Remember, we are THE-Heart club, and we all love hearts!

THANK YOU goes out to =ValerianaSolaris for donating a 3-month subscription to the group!

Now we're up to six months!

I still need more donations for our subscription to continue. Six months is great, but I would really feel more comfortable with a longer subscription for the club.

If you can donate anything, a 1-month sub or 3-month sub, I would be very grateful. Small donations add up and can easily reach one year before you know it.

Supporting this club helps keep it going. I rely a lot on you all for the sub donations so that we can keep doing what we do here, recognizing both our own members as well as the heart loving dA community at large.



Congratulations to ~GodessOfArt for being selected our Member Of The Week.



There were only two submissions over the last two weeks which is why I skipped one week for a journal update, and that made me very sad. We need more submissions! Without submissions I don't really have a reason to keep updating, featuring members in a module, or having a MEMBERS COLLECTION each week.

Let's all help keep the club strong by submitting the deviations we already have that have not been submitted, and/or creating new ones so that we can keep our gallery growing with new deviations. And it only takes a few minutes to send in a note, so don't use "I don't have time" as an excuse!

I really don't want to close the club due to inactivity and especially now that we have at least a six months subscription.



No more from me. Enjoy the current Found Hearts feature and see everyone soon.
