Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing my 1000th blog post with you, and I'd like to take this time to thank my readers for joining me on this fantastic art journey. For those of you who have been with me from the beginning or have joined recently, there are no words that can express my gratitude. You've seen my work blossom, watched as I explored many different art forms and I've felt your presence and encouragement every day!

I'm honored to be the Special Projects Designer for my favorite crafting supply store, The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, and an Artist In Residence for Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. I've been very lucky to work and design with extremely talented men and women, and create with wonderful products from various crafting/stamping companies!
To say that I am living my dream, is an understatement! Thank you so much to everyone who has believed in my work, and I'm looking forward to another 1000 posts!!!
