...an AMERICAN CRAFTS girl, that is! :o)
Rewind to about 18 months ago...I received an e-mail from American Crafts inviting me to be a part of their "local design team," of course I accepted the invitation and I've been able to create various projects for QVC and HSN using fun AC products. A few weeks ago, we were informed that AC's contract with QVC is up and they would no longer be needing the services of a local team.
Of course, I was disappointed, but totally understood why they would no longer need this additional team.
Fast forward to last Friday afternoon...I received another invitation from American Crafts, inviting me to be a member of their REAL design team! What an honor! I am so excited for this opportunity. I love American Crafts products and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the other amazing members of their existing design team (both in-house and contributing)!
So, that's my fun news today - I'm excited to get my first assignment and get busy creating.
Not that I need an assignment to get busy creating...here's a layout I made with some of the new AC stuff last week:
But wait, there's more...
We decided last week to take a spontaneous (kind of) trip this week...so we're heading out to Disneyland tomorrow!
The kids are so dang excited they haven't been able to sleep since we told them last Thursday. We haven't been since Josh was 3 or 4, so he can't really remember it and the little boys have never been. We have a billion DVDs ready to go, along with books, notebooks, toys, games, and snacks. It'll be a long drive (one we've never made before - we've always flown in the past) - but hopefully it'll go by quickly (and quietly for the most part). I can't wait to hit the road ...sunshine awaits! :o)
