Huge News!

Hello all... a quick post today to share some news with you that I've been ready to burst with, so I'm very relieved that I can finally spill the beans!


I'm more thrilled than I can say to announce that I've been invited to join the Artistic Outpost Design Team for 2013.  As a huge admirer both of their stamps and their amazing team, I could hardly believe it when the email pinged into my Inbox.  I think I jumped about squealing for quite some time!

 The announcement is being made today over at the Artistic Outpost blog, and there are a couple of other new names (whose work I also love) joining the wonderful team.  I can hardly believe who I get to serve alongside - do pop over and have a look.  And I'll be kicking off with a short post over there tomorrow... very excited - can you tell?!

And that's not the only adventure in store - more of that another time (but the clues are out there)...

It's okay to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.
