Hi!  I could not be more thrilled to write this post today!  I’ve been a Paper Crafter for over 15 years.  It brings great joy to my life to create and share my projects with all of you.  Your comments warm my heart and keep me going when I worry if what I’m doing has true value.  There have been moments during this journey that have been really rewarding for me – especially in the relationships that have been formed from our mutual love of Paper Crafting.

Today, I want to share a major milestone for me!  You know I love all things Tim Holtz.  I think he is an incredibly gifted artist and his techniques and products have breathed new life into my love of this craft.  Yesterday, Tim chose my Shabby Chic Love Letter Card as one of his Valentine Blogworthy Links!!!!!  Yay!!!!!  I am still smiling!

To be recognized in this way by someone I have such enormous respect for is the greatest feeling!  I have been on cloud nine since seeing it!  There are so many amazing artists out there and I learn from them every day.  To even be called an artist by one of them is such a thrill!

To celebrate, I will be giving out some BLOG CANDY!  Just leave me a comment for your chance to WIN!

Also…the BLOG CANDY WINNER from the original post is HOLLEY BARNHART!!!!  Congratulations, Holley!  And because I received over FIFTY Comments (Thank you!  Thank You!),  SARA EMILY BARKER is a WINNER TOO!!!!!  Email me your address so I can get your box of goodies out right away!  So, don’t forget!   Leave me a comment for your chance to be a BLOG CANDY WINNER TOO!
