A 1000th Post Celebration!


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!

You've lived amazing milestones with me, from the day I joined my first design team, to the excitement of being picked as a Spellbinders Design Team member and a JustRite Papercraft Designer. 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!!!

I've created this lovely Poinsettia Christmas Box for you (supplies are listed below) and I have a fantastic Blog Candy prize package to give away! Details are at the bottom of this post!
