So Honored and Blessed!

What can I say? When Stampin' Up! gave the current Artisan winners the opportunity to compete for the new Artisan Design Team for 2012, I jumped at the opportunity. I knew if I didn't at least try, I would be miserable wondering "what if?". The ten members of the Design Team won't be announced until Awards Night at Convention in July, but the good news is that I was selected as one of twenty finalists. I am so excited to have made it this far and so grateful to fellow Artisan and wonderful friend, Jenn Picard, who encouraged me to "go for it". There were several amazing Stampin' Up! demonstrators who poured their heart and souls into their projects, pushing themselves to a new level of excellence. Every one who took the time to submit their work is a winner in my book. I feel so blessed and I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father who is the giver of all things good. I will let you know how it all turns out in about four weeks. As for now, I have been blessed with more blackberries than I can handle, so I am busy making blackberry jam for the next several days. See you soon!
