Last night around 8:30pm, Bella was sitting next to her daddy on the couch, playing games on my Iphone (which was on vibrate). He says "Take the phone to mommy, she's getting a call from Utah."
The next few minutes are a blur, as I found out that I am an Artisan Award finalist. This is an amazing honor and I'm still in a bit of shock.
Stampin' Up! will announce ten Design Team members at convention next month. I'm sure the shock will turn into another round of pins and needles soon. The lady on the phone said that all of the finalists projects will be on display at convention. I absolutely can't wait to see them! And I can't wait to share my projects with YOU!











Melissa,
Congratulations on being a fellow Artisan Design Team finalist!
