Dear friends! I can`t express how thrilled and excited and happy I am! I can`t believe it, but I won the Win-A-Day on the Blog Contest over at the Hero Arts blog and will be working with the fabulous Nancy!!! I was screaming and hopping and crying and laughing and dancing when I read about that! So today I`ll share a special card with you! This is the very first card ever I entered/uploaded to a challenge on 31st of March, 2009:
I never made cards before, I hadn`t stamped before but loved what I saw on the Hero Arts blog! So I ordered some stamps, watched some of the great videos and started doing it! Then I couldn`t stop it! I think I never missed one Hero Arts challenge since then. (And spent about 600 $ on Hero Arts stamps - yes, I calculated that and was shocked... please don`t tell my husband ;)... but I bought all the stuff from my own money!)
Thank you so much for your support, love and friendship! This year was a wonderful (although expensive) adventure for me, I got to know wonderful people from all over the world and I can`t wait what the new year will bring! This means so much to me and I`d never want to miss it! I hope we all stay healthy, happy and creative!
Ok, hope this wasn`t too much like an award-winner`s speech, but I am sooo excited!
Have a wonderful New Years Eve everybody, all the best for 2010 and thank you for making me happy with your kind words!
Hugs,
Vanessa
